CAS and Stern are NOT the only kids with intellectuals. And it's not like all of the CAS students are really smart, I've met some pretty dumb ones to be honest. I remember the first student I met at NYU - a CAS student, who came up to me and goes, "Wait...if I have to be in room 660, does that mean it's like...on the sixth floor?" She's not dumb, but based on the couple of conversations I've had with her, she's not smart either. Most CAS students are no smarter than students in Steinhardt, Gallatin, School of Social Work, Nursing, etc. SCPS and Gallatin are not retarded. Many grow up to be successful and end up earning a lot more than CAS students who major in things like Art History, Africana Studies, and other liberal artsy crap which usually results in massive loans that can't be paid off. Gallatin students seem to be very motivated and it's not easy to formulate your own major.

OP:
1) Stern is highly elite and prestigious. SCPS is the easiest to get into at NYU.
2) Potential employers will not be turned off by SCPS, your diploma will say NYU.
3) Don't know but doubt it.
