I was wondering if you had to choose between New York University and Columbia University, where would go?

Both are good schools. NYU seems to be receiving a lot of press recently for its academic programs and its campus life. \n\nNYU counts 20 Nobel Prize laureates, 9 National Medal of Science recipients, 12 Pulitzer Prize winners, 19 Academy Award winners, several Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winners and many MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellowship holders among its past and present graduates and faculty.\n\nRecent rankings rate NYU programs among the best in the country.\n\nFor the last 2 years, NYU was ranked by the Princeton Review as America's #1 "dream school" (first choice when factors such as the price and the school's selectivity are not considered) among high school seniors.

Check to see if any professors who will be writing you a letter of recommendation have a suggestion as to what school is best for what you want to do.  (I have a friend who is in urban planning but is concerned also about human relations in urban settings and thus was recommended to NYU)\nTry the best you can to figure out what you want to do with your degree, many Universities have slightly different focuses in regards to the field of study so it is important to know whether you will be working in the public or private sector, small town or large, etc.

I daresay you will not get many responses in this forum.  My best advice to you is to check out the website below, search for Columbia, and check out their discussion boards.  There, prospective students, current students, and alumnae/i post questions and answers, and sometimes even chat in "real time."\n\nI did one of my Master's degrees at Columbia, and so did my brother (religion for me, poli sci for him).  It's the nicest campus in NYC.

You should check out Syracuse, although it's in upstate NY, and not very close to NYC. It's journalism/media studies program is superb, and it's theatre program is quite good.  NYU might also be a good choice for you; its Tisch school of the arts (including theatre) has an especially good reputation.  And of course, it's right in NYC.\n\nIf your GPA and SAT scores are really outstanding, Vassar and Yale might be worth looking into as well.  Both are just a very short train ride away from NYC.

Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York USA.\n\nIf I am not mistaken, it has the reputation of being the finest in the world.

Marketing is usually studied in a business school.  Advertising is usually a subarea -- rather than a major.\n\nThe best undergraduate business school in NYC is NYU.  The best graduate program is Columbia.

Fantastic.  I have a close friend who went there, then continued at NYU grad school for a PhD in Economics, and is now an Economist at the IMF (International Monetary Fund) in Washington DC.  The CAS is a great school.  The dean of students is fantastic.  My son is there majoring in English.  A million fascinating things happen at NYU and it is getting harder and harder to get in and it keeps going up in national rankings.  A huge part of the NYU undergrad experience has to do with living in the absolute coolest spot on Earth.  The housing department leaves much to be desired though....  But the kids don't seem to mind.

Cornell, Columbia and NYU are the best colleges in New York.  THE SUNYs are good for going fast, going cheap and getting your basic sciences out of the way - Binghamton, Albany, Buffalo.

The only thing good about New York state would be New York City. You could also talk about Colleges in NY, like Syracuse and NYU.

Both are great choices academically. One has to know other concerns you have in particular to give the precise answer. My suggestion is to visit both schools and meet the dept. liaison officers and ask them every thing you want to know for each school.

College admissions are by no means an exact science.  Your immigrant status may help you...  But NYU would be easier to get into.  Columbia, as an ivy league school, would be a struggle for anyone.\n\nThere are many people with 4.0 averages and SATs in the 1500s, or even perfect 1600s, who are rejected every year from ivy league schools.  There is no perfect formula.
