Private Schools

[Dr.BadVibes]

Hey SDNers...if you could rank the private schools in terms of easiness for acceptance and forgiving for acceptance, how would you do it from what you know or heard or from your own experiences with applications in previous years? I think from my time on this forum, NYU would be the easiest to get accepted, followed by perhaps Pittsburgh or Nova or maybe even BU (although someone stated that BU wants 19's across).

I know that those stats give a good indication on the schools, but stats do not always reflect the school's admissions standards. Stats vary every year, due to the applicant pool. I just wanted to know what are the general perceptions of the private schools that would be more consistent than stats. Like everyone knows NYU is not that hard to get into, however, what if one year, many upper year GPA's wish to live in NYC, which would bring NYU's stats higher, but not lowering their standards on admissions.
