<p>Xomom, I tend to agree with you. Its not only that LSP classes are a little different that the normal CAS core classes, but that the other students are different. It will not be as rigorous. That being said, if a student really wants to go to NYU, LPS may work. I think it also depends on the major. A journalism major requires a second major. An economics major requires math courses and has sequential courses. One can say the student should look at the major requirements, but bear in mind the student may want to change major. If the parents can accept the student taking more than 4 years to graduate and/or being restricted in choice of major, it may work.</p>
