NYU's undergraduate business school checks in at #5, with only Wharton among the Ivies ahead of them. Current acceptance rate among undergrads is 7.7% so I'd say whatever they're doing is working. They have a healthy, vibrant athletics program, with WBB playing to capacity crowds (2,000) and an 86 game winning streak. MBB made the NCAA Tourney last year. I would think the administration is quite pleased with the combination of great athletics, high level academics and a vibrant campus life in Greenwich Village. One of the other aspects in forming the UAA with other like institutions (Emory, WashU, Chicago, Carnegie Mellon) is that undergraduate student-athletes would get to travel to other UAA schools and compete, essentially a campus visit if you're thinking about graduate school.

I think leapfrogging U of Chicago is out of reach given that they (like CalTech and MIT) are in a league of their own.

But there's no reason why NYU should be lagging behind WashU, Emory, or CMU.

To me, NYU is in a similar position as Northwestern. Just as Columbia is always going to be top dog in NYC, so will U of Chicago in the Windy City. Yet Northwestern is widely considered an elite national university (indeed, #7 in USN&WR).

As observer notes, Northwestern is doing something that NYU is not--playing in a high-profile athletic league. True, they haven't had tons of success. But they are getting their brand out there.

If NYU is truly content to remain where it is, then fine. But if NYU wants to really make a leap to improve their visibility, they should consider doing something similar as Northwestern.
