Will I be at a competitive disadvantage in gaining admission?
Applicants residing outside of New York State are at no competitive disadvantage in the admissions process. We place a high value on diversity, including students from different backgrounds and from different geographic regions. We do not have quotas as to how many students we can admit from out-of-state, nor do we have quotas mandating the number of students we must admit from New York State. In fact, we even offer a special $2,500 housing grant to qualified non-New York State residents to lower their cost of attendance.
