@barcodeIlIl That’s great that you and your friend can tell exactly how qualified every single student at NYU is. My roommate was accepted into Tisch with NO portfolio; she just wrote killer essays. Isn’t that “lacking in some way”? NYU’s admissions are not wholly focused on stats, even though everyone I know in LSP had amazing stats. I’m so glad that you know everything about my program after being accepted into CAS. If you come to New York with this attitude, you’re in for a surprise. The general rule when talking about the different schools is that you should stay in your lane. I could easily say that CAS Econ majors are people that aren’t smart enough to make it to Stern, but I wouldn’t because I don’t know anything really about CAS Econ or Stern. See how that works out?
@waveycrocket I’m confused as how you were offered admission to both? Also, were you put in the Core Program or the Global Liberal Studies Program? The two are different; LS Core is a two-year program after which you transfer into the school of your choice while GLS is a four-year program that you can transfer out of like any other school at NYU. I made a whole thread about housing [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/1862161-first-year-housing-2016-2017.html%5Dhere%5B/url”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/1862161-first-year-housing-2016-2017.html]here[/url], but I’m more than willing to talk more in-depth about the options with you. As for social life, I made friends with people on Facebook over the summer and they’ve become my best friends (post in the FB groups over the summer asking if anyone likes something you really like and start talking to them), and I joined a sorority at the very beginning of the fall semester, so I’ve had a great support network to fall back on. It’s a strange adjustment to get used to NYU/NYC, but you’ll figure it out after a while. Feel free to PM me!
