Admissions Chances

New York Institute of Technology, which accepts just over three-quarters of applicants, has a competitive admissions pool with above average test scores. However, NYIT also has a holistic admissions process and admissions decisions are based on more than numbers. A strong application essay and glowing letters of recommendation can strengthen your application, as can participation in meaningful extracurricular activities and a rigorous course schedule. Note that some majors have additional admission requirements. The college is looking for students who will contribute to the campus community in meaningful ways, not just students who show promise in the classroom. Students with particularly compelling stories or achievements can still receive serious consideration even if their grades and scores are outside of NYIT's average range.

In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent students who were accepted to NYIT. Most had SAT scores (ERW+M) of 1000 or higher, an ACT composite of 20 or higher, and a high school average of a "B" or higher. Grades and test scores above these lower ranges will increase your chances, and you can see that many admitted students had high school GPAs in the "A" range.
