@kker98 Yeah and that was my point, my friend quite literally called them “stupid” when I was talked to him about it. @waveycrocket asked about the stigma against LSP students, so i don’t think the views of another LSP would help as much as students from other schools. LSP will obviously face some negativity, that is a given. I don’t think most people if any at all who got accepted to their first choice school would say “I wish I would have got accepted by LSP instead”. This has only come up in conversation with two of my friends currently attending NYU(one Stern one CAS) so maybe I’m not the most qualified to comment on this, but then again, how many people on this thread are actual NYU students right now…Personally, I’ll base my opinion of you based on my first impression of you so LSP won’t matter unless you really are dumb.
@seeniebeenie So I need all 20,000+ applications of everyone in NYU right now to come to my own conclusion? Funny since I’ve been traveling to New York every week on and off for the past 2 years now so I don’t think I’ll be in for too much of a surprise.
You are right, I didn’t think I was smart enough to make it into stern. That is why I applied to CAS econ actually. Maybe I could have made it to stern, but I didn’t apply since I didn’t want to take a risk. Just about all the people I know who got in Stern are in fact smarter than me and have better applications, not all, but most. You are also correct about CAS econ in general being less qualified than Stern. Stern has a lower acceptance rate for a reason and attracts applicants that would otherwise go Ivy for a reason.
