@gazettenyc: Getting into New York City's top universities could become even more competitive as Columbia, Fordham, and NYU attract growing interest from applicants nationwide and around the world. Rising applications, limited freshman seats, and NYC's reputation as a global hub for finance, business, and career opportunities could drive acceptance rates even lower. The New York Gazette projects that acceptance rates could fall to approximately 3.9% at Columbia, 36% at Fordham, and 8% at NYU for Fall 2027. Fordham, in particular, has experienced a significant surge in applications, raising questions about just how selective the university could become. These figures are independent estimates, not official university forecasts. #ColumbiaUniversity #FordhamUniversity #NYU #CollegeAdmissions #NewYorkCity
