In terms of overall prestige and other benefits (free tuition, accelerated residency), NYU is probably the best option in the country for most applicantsDang really? Columbia over NYU? Any specific reasons why? I guess the 3 year program just puts it over the moon for me.
I was going just based on prestige. I feel like Columbia was clearly seen as more prestigious than NYU before free tuition became a thing. The resulting bump in Scores/stats of matriculated students and win rate for cross acceptances makes it more debatable. NYU now ranks 2nd on USNWP but these rankings are not exact reflections of reality. For example, in the undergrad rankings Columbia ranks above Stanford and Yale, which I don’t think is accurate.
This is just for the sake of discussion btw. There is no material difference between Columbia or NYU in after graduation outcomes.
