<p>@Vihzel - I think LSP mostly has CAS rejects, not Stern rejects.</p>
<p>Personally, I see no problem with LSP as a spin-off of NYU, but I think it can’t continue to be an integral part of the University. There needs to be a concrete distinction, not just a guaranteed flow through to CAS. The fact that LSP grads are not distinguishable from CAS grads, because they matriculate into CAS, cheapens the value of my CAS diploma, I think. When I compare NYU to USC (which does not have an LSP type program), I am struck by how similar the two universities are, except for the one without LSP (USC), is ranked 10 places higher.</p>
