Re: the applications, in the next 5 years they want to decrease the class size. From their strategic plan, 2015:guybourdin wrote: I see this thought experiment all the time: if they are picking between two applicants...how often do we think that actually happens? They could just extend another offer. 1,870 or 1,871, is there a difference to them? NYU makes a lot of offers. They received over 500 more applications from '15 to '16 and extended 34 less offers, so that would make me think they just accept who they want to accept. Just a thought.
"OBJECTIVES: Explore options for increasing affordability for students, including by reducing the size of the JD class and increasing non-tuition revenue from sources including philanthropy, executive education, and other degree and nondegree programs."
They're also on a kick to increase URM students, which I think helps those URM students who might be lower in the ranges.
