r/nyu

I don’t know maybe I got bad luck this semester. Last semester I had a GPA of 3.6 this semester have 2 Fs it’s crazy that there is a strong possibility my dreams from BMCC to NYU is over. I was getting scholarship offers and awards and all the sudden things just hit the rock pitch. Nonetheless I’m a freshman but damn I don’t know what to do. I heard NYU and other prestigious universities like Columbia still accepts students below the 3.5 gpa mark but damn what do I do? I want to go to gallatin so I can study business and tech and possibly make a lot of money. Most cuny students don’t make as much money as these top tier college graduates. My cousin just graduated from UC Berkeley and she’s making 110k entry level at just 22 years old just by studying in tech industries.

I (24F) have just been admitted to NYU Tandon after spending some time away from uni. I’m aware that NYU doesn’t offer that traditional college experience, but being socially active and having fun at parties is one of my priorities since I did not have the chance to enjoy these last few years so much. Can I still have a good chance at a college life there? What have been your experiences?

(Sorry for the typo in the title lol)

I see a therapist affilated with NYU and recently over summer break got I guess like a bill because the majority of the costs incurred weren't covered under my plan? When I first started it said my sessions were like $25 copay, but checking the bill its straight up like $500 or $600 I gotta pay on top of the health insurance cost in my tuition, which could be worse but I mean, was I naiive to just believe it covered most things at NYU?

Hello! I was recently admitted to CAS as a sophomore transfer. I have a few questions and hope someone here can help me so I can make a decisions

1. Are transfer students only ineligible for aid the year they transfer in for, and will be granted need based aid (if applicable) for their remaining years at nyu, or are transfer students just not eligible for need based aid at all during their full time at NYU?

2. Does NYU calculate the GPA you get at your previous institution into your NYU GPA, or

3. I originally applied to stern and obviously I didn’t get in, would it be possible for me as a transfer to internally transfer next year as a junior into Stern?

4. Can I get a minor at stern while being a student at CAS this coming year? As in fall 2026

Please help I’m so lost I have no idea how any of this works ˙◠˙ I’m happy I got accepted but the financial issue is huge and I don’t even know if it’s worth it for none stern

I got all A's and a B- in my last semester and I also caused a 20 car pileup on canal street and killed a guy in East Flatbush will I get my acceptance revoked

I was recently accepted as a transfer and I am curious how packed is the school? I also got into Berkeley but I want to avoid it as it is public and there are too many people. Hard to get access to some classes and resources. How is NYU and specifically as a math/cs major?

i think my professor has made a mistake calculating / inputting my grade. has anyone gone through the process? i’ve reached out to the prof but idk what to expect, and who do i talk to if they don’t get back? my program is under gsas in case anyone has done it here.

I swear this is an annual incoming freshman panic question I see all the time, nyu does not care that you got 2 Ds, just graduate and dont rob a bank.

has anyone actually seen nyu rescind for anything?

Are grades due on albert by professors today? Is it normal that some professors still haven’t given grades out even though the final was legit during the final week of classes??? 😭

Hey everyone, I’m doing a small market research project around the NYU / Washington Square area and I’m trying to understand how students actually eat during the day.
I’m not trying to promote anything, just trying to get honest answers from people who are actually around campus.
A few questions:
Where do you usually grab lunch or a quick snack around NYU?
How much do you normally spend for lunch?
Do you prefer something quick to-go, or a place where you can sit for a bit?
Are there any food spots around campus that you feel are missing?
Would you ever buy something like a fresh crêpe / dessert / coffee-style snack between classes or later in the day?
What would be a fair price for that kind of thing?
Which streets or corners around NYU do you think get the most student traffic?
Any honest opinion helps. Thanks!

Hi guys was thinking about having a layover at abu Dhabi to China and was wondering how safe it is?

Hello everyone. Recently, I just got off the waitlist for NYU Stern’s Khubani BTE program. I’ve already committed to UMich Ann Arbor for Engineering, and frankly, I’m already really satisfied and excited about it, but am now wondering whether I should go to NYU instead (the cost will be around the same for both). To be honest, I’m still rather unsure of what I want to do in the future career-wise, and though I’ve always had a liking for tinkering with different things such as legos and 3D printing (hence choosing Engineering at UMich), when I was applying, Stern’s prestige stood out to me, and I wasn’t against getting a degree in business as well. 

Short Summary: Head says NYU heart says UMich. I’ve really grown to like Mich, but feel like NYU will have better career outcomes (People who’ve graduated from college, I’d also love it if you could advise on how much I should prioritize a school based on my emotional liking for it and wage outcomes + prestige from your time at college)

Considerations for UMich:

• Like its setting within a great college town 
• Love its campus and the better social life because of this (correct me if I’m wrong)
• I’ve been conditioned to the fact I’m going to UMich that I’m almost already starting to get attached to it…?(I’ve barely done any research about it and haven’t visited tho)
• Larger student body (better social life?)
• Strong programs across all fields (I feel like Mich in general is higher ranked than NYU and this would help if I ever decide on changing my major, as other majors would be really strong too)
• Large alumni body (assuming that this helps with employment)
• Median/Avg wage outcomes for Mich Engineering (approx. 85k) are much lower than NYU Stern but I’m hoping the two aforementioned reasons will offset this
• Less interdisciplinary as I’ll only be focused on engineering and will have less time to discover my interests

Considerations for NYU (Will NYU actually bring better career outcomes tho?):

• Stern’s prestige (assuming that this will give me a leg up in employment even if it's not on the same level as other business schools such as Wharton and other M7 schools)
• Stern’s harder to get in -> Meet more remarkable people
• High employment rates post-graduation (95% in 3 months)
• High wage outcomes post-grad (100k+ median)
• I like the versatility of the BTE program and how it blends STEM with tech and entrepreneurship (esp. as I’m currently unsure about what I want to do)
• Better resource availability being a private school
• Tough GPA curve (only up to 35% of students can get an A from what I recall)
• The lack of a campus just isn’t for me and I feel like the student body will feel more separated as a result
• The (extremely) urban setting of NYC feels too crowded and hectic
• I feel like I’ll be missing out significantly on my life in college in NYU due the 2 aforementioned factors (Further worsened by how much I think I’ll enjoy life at Mich)

Another alternative would be to just do a cross-campus transfer at Mich into Ross freshman year (I’m rather intrigued by the Integrated Business and Engineering at Michigan program tbh), but with an approx. 30% acceptance rate, I’m not extremely confident that it’ll work out. Getting a graduate degree after finishing my bachelor's is also an option for me. Thanks for helping in advance! 

I’m going to NYU this upcoming fall as a junior transfer student and have no friends nor family there🥲🥲

Is it likely to get housing if I applied earlier on? Or do transfers usually have to find an off-campus apartment?

Pls lmk ur advice & experiences!!

I’m an honors maths major and I ended up with a 3.5 cumulative gpa for my first year. I don’t understand why it is so hard to get an A here. I know it’s my fault bc sometimes I got too lazy and forgot to do the homework so even if I get all As in my exams I still end up with a B+…

I want to do AI phd in the future, I just want to know does this gpa means I am saying goodbye to most top cs phd programs or is it still possible.

Also a quick question those stem majors with a 3.9, how hard do yall study? I feel like I need to lock myself in bobst all day if I genuinely want to bump it up.

Hi, Im planning to go to NYU for mathematics in engineering at tandon. I wanted to do the emphasis on computer engineering, along with a minor in data science, and I’m curious about what the job scene/internships would look like by doing this. I’m planning to do NYU’s accelerated BS/MS financial engineering at tandon, but I’m just wondering if Tandon’s math is good, considering all the math courses are sourced from courant.

Recently got accepted to NYU. Gonna be a 2nd semester sophomore or junior depending on how many credits are accepted. My major prerequisite class and discussion section are completely full and have a small wait list, but I need it to be able to take almost all other major classes. Could emailing the professor and CAS director of undergraduate studies get me approved?
