NYU has released offers of admission to the Class of 2028. Offers of admission to NYU’s New York campus were made to just 8% of those submitting 118,000 applications to be members of next fall’s entering undergraduate class. Three of NYU’s undergraduate colleges offered admission to fewer than 5% of applicants.
This cycle, NYU witnessed its largest early decision applicant pool in history, comprising over 22,000 applications, marking a 56%-surge in Early Decision applications across NYU’s degree-granting campuses over the past five years. Over 60% of the applications to NYU were from public schools, with almost 9,000 of them from students who work with non-profit organizations such as OppNet, Bottom Line, College Advising Corps (CAC), Minds Matter, and the Charles Hayden Foundation, among others, who partner with NYU to create new pathways to increase educational access.
NYU anticipates that 20% of the class will be Pell Grant recipients and 20% will be First-Generation students. This year’s cohort represents over 103 countries, 49 states (all but North Dakota), several US territories, and approximately 1,000 students from New York City public schools.
The NYU Promise: The NYU Promise is President Linda G. Mills’ expanded commitment to affordability. More than 1,000 students are recipients of the NYU Promise, which offers free tuition for students with family incomes under $100,000. In addition, the NYU Promise includes meeting students’ demonstrated need if it is beyond tuition and increasing aid annually to keep pace with increases in tuition.
“NYU’s admitted class of 2028 is made up of students who represent the best of us,” said Jonathan Williams, Associate Vice President of Undergraduate Admissions, Pre-College Access and Pathways. “Throughout their high school journey, these remarkable young individuals hail from various corners of the United States and the globe. They have proven themselves to be exemplary bridgebuilders, striving to connect diverse perspectives and foster understanding. Their unwavering perseverance in the face of myriad challenges showcases their dedication to creating a better world – together. They are shining examples of good listeners, global citizens, and future leaders. Their presence will undoubtedly enrich the NYU community and contribute to a brighter future for all.”
