Natra,

Well, with the LSP you are in for sure at NYU CAS. However, you are not guaranteed a transfer after two years at Rutgers.

Also, NYU gave you a very nice aid package if 27K is your merit/ grant money. You will probably not get that amount as a transfer. I think the FA may be tougher to get as a transfer. So you would be full pay at $60K for the last two years of NYU CAS (assuming you will not get anythng from NYU later as a transfer), if you get in as a transfer. So, the positive is that the money works out to be the same whether you start off in NYU LSP or transfer into NYU after 2 years (based on your known FA package now). The negatives of transferring from Rutgers are the unknowns of getting into NYU as a transfer and getting a generous FA package as a transfer student into NYU.
