Hey guys this is my first time creating a new discussion so bear with me!
I was (still am) so overjoyed to be admitted into NYU 23, but when I saw my letter I wasn’t sure what LSC was at all. There weren’t many CC posts about it, so I have some questions about LSC and NYU in general too.
-What exactly is the difference/selling point between LSC and NYU (CAS, which I applied to)?
-Any idea why I was put in LSC and not CAS? Was I below the mark for CAS? (34 ACT, 3.85 UW, 4.32 W, IB 3HL 3SL, self-reported 6-7 AP’s, National Merit finalist, strong community service in a program for 3 years, however I was rejected from Barnard and USC, waitlisted at Wellesley, Tulane, Vandy.)
-I know LSC students can opt to spend their freshman year abroad in London, Florence, etc. My letter says that I was accepted with the expectation that I will spend my first year in Florence (guess it’s because I put art history + classics as intended major). Does anyone know if I have to go there, or can I stay in NY or go somewhere else?
-First year abroad: worth it? How are the classes? Will I be able to fit into “regular” NYU junior year after LSC ends?
and some general NYU questions:
-How are the dorms? Food? …and dorm rules, etc.? Safety on campus?
-General cost of living, I didn’t get much aid but I plan on negotiating, will I go broke anyways?
Thanks so much if you even read to here. Sorry about the wall of text. I’m just in a place of like, extreme happiness and also anxiety. (But congrats to everyone in my boat. So excited to meet you guys!!)
