What's worse: LSP or Waitlist?

By the way, I think NYU can do a better job in explaining the type of program LSP is and what type of student they see as a match. It does not hurt for them to highlight the strengths of the program in a more emphatic manner. The same goes for the NYU-Poly program.

The school has pressures like any “business.” They are in the business of education. However, with that given, they can do a better job of defining to their customers what the intent of the various placements/ acceptances mean (besides as a way to “bring in money,” which is an underlying reason but, hopefully, not the only reason).

I see that the LSP will be a separate program students can apply to directly starting this coming year. I see that as a good thing and will help to make the program less of a “step-child” of the CAS program.
