<p>I was accepted by Stanford, but I can attend NYU for free. I am most interested in the kind of intelligent community that Stanford can provide, but I feel as though a full ride through NYU is too good of a deal to pass up. I’m curious as to what any of you might suggest regarding my decision :).</p>
<p>It depends… how much would you have to pay if you went to Stanford? If the cost isn’t that much I’d choose Stanford.</p>
<p>both schools are completely different and very good. if you went to NYU, maybe you would be the top of your class and gain more opportunities…</p>
<p>i think NYU…you are getting a full ride scholarship and it is extremeley prestigious…stanford is great annd all, but 200,000 dollars? seriously, it’d take you at least few years after you graduate to pay that off…</p>
<p>Just listen to the [NYU</a> fight song](<a href=“http://www.gonyuathletics.com/custompages/NYU_Fight_Song.mp3]NYU”>http://www.gonyuathletics.com/custompages/NYU_Fight_Song.mp3) all the way through. You’ll be opting for Stanford just to make it stop.</p>
<p>Really, if that is their fight song, what must the rest of the college experience be like?</p>
<p>Free??? You won’t find too many ppl on the Stanford thread saying it, but I’d take NYU!</p>
<p>NYU undergrad is strong, and Tisch, Stern, NYU law, etc are all great too so that even further increases NYU’s prestige.</p>
<p>Stanford is a slightly stronger undergrad imo, but def not worth $200k more. NO TUITION tips it in NYU’s favor. You’ll be at the top of your class; you’ll be out of debt; and you’ll still be able to get into the best grad schools.</p>
<p>NYU seems to be the way to go!
good luck making a decision</p>
<p>I would choose Stanford, but that’s simply because I’m in love…:D!</p>
<p>To the OP, </p>
<p>I got into NYU (MLK full merit scholarship) too, but was deferred and then rejected from Stanford. Just in case you were wondering, I would have chosen Stanford over NYU in a heartbeat (even if it meant I had to go into debt) had I been accepted. Go with your heart, not your pocket book, unless of course the financial stress of stanford tuition would negatively impact your family’s way of life - I’m headed to Duke/Columbia!</p>
