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.
