What these numbers mean
- The average and the bands describe first-years who enrolled in Fall 2024, not everyone who was admitted, and only those with a high school GPA on file (99.00% of the class).
- The Common Data Set does not say whether these GPAs are weighted or unweighted.
- NYU's 2025-2026 CDS file could not be opened when we checked (nyu.edu served a bot check), so this page uses NYU's 2024-2025 CDS, read from an Internet Archive copy of NYU's own PDF. It covers first-years who enrolled in Fall 2024.
