Boston University vs New York University?
Don’t believe everything you hear. 68% of those admitted to NYU went to public schools. See the link below for more details. Both schools are great schools (though BU is overpriced). NYU is the higher ranked school. If you are thinking about these schools, you should be thinking of other high quality schools as well. Columbia University would be a better school for journalism. Also — many of the better state universities like Texas and Minnesota have great J-Schools.
