Hi guys,
This is a GREAT thread question. I was going to ask the same type of question about comparing NYU, Tufts, and Boston U. Can anyone from NYU PLEASE shed a little light on the whole controversy of how approximately 50 people are cut from the first year class. How and why does this happen? I'm assuming that this is not simply the attrition rate. I know NYU has the largest class in the US so there for their attrition rate should be higher than other schools, but 50 people seems like a really high number. Why is it that other dent schools seem to fight nail and tooth to prevent students from failing out, while NYU seems to want this to happen the first year in order to decrease the class size?
As you all can tell, I'm a bit ignorant on NYU's policy for retention of their students. I have to tell you though, I have recently been accepted to NYU and have sent in my deposit. Since I have been accepted to other schools (and have other interviews coming up) I know I'll have other alternatives if I choose not to attend NYU. It's just that I really liked the school and the city, and would love to move out there for 4 years from L.A.. The only thing holding me back is fear of being kicked out regardless of how hard I try.
Can someone please better inform me about this issue? I would appreciate any advice. 🙂
Thanks
--Lilly
