The quality of the candidacy pool is about the same for the fall and spring intake. An institution like NYU is not going to compromise the quality of its students based on the timing of admissions so it is just as difficult/easy to get into the program for each intake. The one difference we have seen is that the spring intake class is a bit older than the fall intake.
Good luck.
