NYU is not an elite institution. It’s a local school with mediocre students.

  My only contact with NYU alumni was someone who had a master in ITP at NYU and was very proud of it. It's supposedly described as an art school for engineers and at the same time an engineering school for artists. I can't judge her art but I can definitely say resolutely that she was not an engineer nor did it bring enough engineering knowledge to talk to engineers in her role as a PM. The running gag among the team was that she would confidently say utter non-sense while making it sound technical. Enough to fool non-engineers but extremely funny to the actual engineers that worked with her.

    That's sad. Sounds like she didn't know that she didn't know.

    > It's supposedly described as an art school for engineers and at the same time an engineering school for artists. By detractors or publicity? Because as insults go that’s just brutal.
