The previous answerers are just plain wrong.
US News and World Report (as well as any college professor) will tell you that Columbia is ranked academically much more highly than NYU.
For example, Columbia is ranked #9 and NYU is ranked #37 in US News' ranking of best universities in the US (see the link below).
If you are interested in liberal arts colleges, Barnard is by far the best in NYC.
US News and World Report (and again, any college professor) knows this.
Barnard is ranked #27 among all liberal arts colleges nationwide.

The best universities in NYC are NYU and Columbia, but I doubt you could get into either one with those grades, unless you can really sell yourself in some other way. There are also the schools of the City University of New York (CUNY). The best CUNY schools are: Hunter College Queens College Brooklyn College CCNY You might also look into Pace, the Brooklyn campus of Long Island University, or the Lincoln Center campus of Fordham University.

NYU? No way. Columbia ranks higher than NYU.
After that (and arguably, within those two) it depends on what field you're talking about. NYC has some really strong schools:
Columbia, NYU, Fordham, Barnard, Parsons (for art and interior design), Mannes (for music), Pratt (for art), SVA (for art), FIT (for merchandising and interior design), The Cooper Union (art, architecture and engineering) and many others. Some are among the tops in their fields of expertise.

Columbia over NYU any day.
There are many good medical colleges in the city but I don't think you're referring to grad schools.

NYU is number one by far, but Columbia is also ranked very highly. "Professor X" is stupid.
