got rejected by NYU. considering this option...

I was rejected by NYU Wagner. :(. However, I was accepted into Rutgers University. Great school! I just found out NYU has a continuing education school, School of Professional Studies. Do you think it’s advantageous to apply for that program considering it hails the NYU name? Honest feedback please. Thanks!

I don’t think continuing ed can lead to a degree.

If you are in the NY area? No. Employers will know that School of Professional Studies is a continuing education school and not a normal undergrad institution.

there are degree programs through continuing education. I wasn’t sure if the diploma, transcript, indicated any difference.

The difference is it’s from the School of Professional Studies. Also, you’d have to take all your classes most likely on nights and weekends, and there would be no dorm. And almost all of your classmates will be working adults. The dating scene would be abysmal.

did you get rejected as a transfer or first-year student?
