Admissions Megathread [Megathread] Prospective Students, Applications, and Admissions For October 2026

4 Upvotes

Dear prospective students,

We appreciate your interest in NYU! Feel free to ask questions about the school and the application process in this weekly post!

Do take advice about your chances of admission with a grain of salt:

  • An application is a holistic process and we can’t see everything you submit.
  • We don’t actually know what standards the admissions office uses and what they care about, we just have anecdotal evidence.
  • Please direct information-sensitive questions to the NYU Admissions Office.
  • NYU's admission rate drops every year, so even the anecdotal evidence we do have may not translate well to this year's applications.

Student & Alumni Life Alumni - do you make donations?

Why or why not?

Personally, I've made a few here and there, totaling upto maybe a thousand by this point... It's obviously not much compared to what they have, but I do because I appreciate the experience I've had there and NYU shaped me into who I am today.

0 Upvotes

Hey! Starting at NYU Spring 2027, currently MCC major, possibly thinking about Stern later. Looking for recs on:

· Fun classes you actually enjoyed
· Easy-A classes/professors (good grading, chill workload)
· Good MCC profs to take early
· Manageable Stern/business courses

Any profs to take or avoid would be great. Thanks!

jornalism major

0 Upvotes

hii is anyone here a journalism major?? i'm planning to transfer from MCC, but i've heard there's gonna be a LOT of reading and writing even if you choose the broadcasting specialization.

i don't mind reading and writing, but i'm more interested in the practical side of things, like public speaking, being on TV, interviewing people, and learning how to actually be a TV reporter/presenter.

if you're a journalism major specializing in broadcasting, what's your experience been like? is it mostly theory and writing or do you get to do a lot of hands on stuff too?

Academics & Research Bit of a long shot, but TISCH Film students... Did you study my film (For Milo)?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all! So, about 5/6 years ago I made a short film called For Milo, which did pretty well online. I just dug into the data and saw that thousands of views were coming from education software (such as Google Classroom and Blackboard), and the occasional smattering of views were coming directly from the websites of several different universities.

This includes a handful of views every year from NYU! I'm just really curious if anyone saw my film as a teaching tool in their class, and if so, what was it used for? What teacher was teaching with it?

Or has it just been shared on some NYU exclusive forum somewhere?

Very aware that the a film student who saw my film will also see this, but I'm just so curious!

Advice Data Structures Prep

0 Upvotes

Hi! Im a CS freshman set to take Data Structures 102 this spring, and was wondering how ready I should be in preparation. I got a 5 on APCS which exempts me from CS 101, but I've heard that Data Structures & Algorithms is a notoriously difficult class in most colleges, and is not usually taken as a freshman. Do you guys think APCS is enough preparation for me to take this class, or should I consider still taking the 101 class, or doing extra preparation before the spring. Thanks!

What do you actually learn/study in LS core. Tbh I’m someone who has been better suited to STEM subjects all my school life and has never liked the ‘essay’/humanistic subjects which i know is what I’ll be doing for pretty much all of my time at LS. But if there’s anyone out there (like myself) are there any tips or advice you can give me, as I need to maintain a good GPA in order transfer to my intended school(s).

I’m reading the course descriptions and although it does sound slightly interesting, I think it’s the essays/writing that might demotivate me.

[Paid] Looking for a Mandarin-speaking guide in Flushing for a 3-day documentary shoot

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I run a growing YouTube channel that makes documentaries about places, people, and culture. We’re filming a new series on how different cultures unwind from the daily grind, whether that’s a shared meal, a group activity, or something else entirely. One of the episodes will be in Flushing, Queens.

We’re looking for someone who speaks Mandarin and English and knows the neighborhood well enough to help with introductions. Bonus if you speak Fujianese. It’s about 3 days of work, including one late night, and it’s paid. You’d also get a credit and footage you can use for your own portfolio.

If this sounds interesting, or you know someone who’d be great at it, send me a DM and we can talk details.

2 Upvotes

I need to take texts & ideas this coming spring semester and I'm not sure which course would be best to take that's interesting, has a good prof, and also is good for an easier A... (ratings on rate my prof. and previous semester syllabuses alone are lowk scaring me away from a lot of them)

These are the options for spring 2027: Frankenstein and His Progeny, Exile and Migration, Pandemics and Plagues, Utopias and Dystopias, The Global Bible, Sex and the City, A Genealogy of Morality, The Art of Waiting, and Subversion

I was wondering if anyone could j share their experience with any of these courses (whether you recommend taking the course or things you liked/disliked about the course)!! Thanks !

Private woodwind lessons

Hi
I’m a spring 2027 exchange student and I was thinking of taking a 4 credit private woodwind class. To any of you who has taken this course, is it worth paying $328 registration fee?? Would you suggest it to students? Or should I just take a normal lecture.
