NYU Tandon is not hard to get into, justMay 28 2019Computer Science
NYU Tandon is not hard to get into, just judging by my peers. Just maintain above a 3.5 in high school, do some interesting extracurriculars, get a good SAT, and if you do Early Decision, you're basically guaranteed a spot.
SAT: 1500 Female
If you really want to go here, just "donate"Sep 30 2017Biology
If you really want to go here, just "donate" money to the school. There are simple instructions, just email the financial aid office or the dean. If you do not have the financial means to offer "donations" or "charities", then you can always work hard in school. You don't have to be at the top of your class. I have seen kids at the top 45% of their graduating class and subpar GPA and essays and extracurricular get in. LOL this school is really desperate for money. but it tries its hardest to market itself as a "world elite college."

I got good grades and had a lot ofJun 24 2012Nursing
I got good grades and had a lot of extracurricular activities. Really, I feel like NYU college of nursing takes most people who are willing to pay. They have expanded their enrollment (though their facilities and staff have not so we just get terrible value for our millions and millions of dollars while they "prepare" for the future we will never reap benefits from).
ACT: 28 Female
Get good recommendationsDec 07 2011Political Science
Get good recommendations. It goes unsaid that good grades are prerequisite, and doing extracurriculars never hurts. NYU is full of people out to prove themselves - if you want to get in, you must work hard for it.

If you want to come here, focus on your extracurricular activities as much as you focus on your academics; they count equally as much.
