<p>Oh my gosh! I did not mean it like that. I would love to go to NYU, but $$$ Of course you should take college seriously. It's what will jump start your career. Take advantage of opportunities. I just meant don't take life in general too seriously, every second of every day. Take some time to breath and laugh. I just meant taking everything seriously and leaving no time time for anything else but college might make you go crazy, depressed, or stressed out of your mind! Just remember why you're working so hard in college, and keep your sanity in check =P Austin being a party school is one of the reasons I wanted to go to NYU. NYU is great! I got GSP'd. So it was b/t NYU GSP or UT Summer Freshmen Class. I'm still waiting on a finaid packet, but my UT summer housing contract is due by April 17th. This doesn't give me a lot of time. I don't know if I'm making the right decision in choosing UT. I don't know if I'm just "settleing for UT" instead of taking on the intense challenge that is loaning for NYU GSP. Maybe I could do my cores at UT, and when I find out what I want to do with my life and NYU is the place to get there, I might apply to transfer. I'm not saying it's a sure thing to get into NYU again, but it's still a possibility. </p>
<p>If you have any advice about the NYU GSP or UT Summer Freshmen Class, please reply or post or e-mail me! I don't know whether I am choosing the better choice, or if I am making the biggest mistake of my life.</p>
<p>Awesome! Go Longhorns! I'm going to go to UT so I can do my cores and see if it's the place for me; and if I don't fall in love with UT, I might apply to transfer into other colleges. So I'll see what happens. </p>
<p>One question still-are you keeping the option to apply to transfer to nyu in the future? Does anyone know someone who's actually been successful in transfering into nyu for sophomore or junior year of college, and if the admissions really look at hs gpa as opposed to just college gpa?</p>
<p>I decided to turn it down for Princeton University even though NYU gave me a 30k scholarship. (but princeton gave me a 34k grant, so it all works out)</p>
<p>i feel your pain...the financial situation is the biggest setback for me too...i might have to turn down NYU and USC to go to UC Davis for financial reasons...</p>
<p>ya..it's way too close to home since i live in the bay area...but i'll do everything in my power to try to go to USC (i want to be a journalism major..and that's the best school i have for that on my list).</p>
<p>I'm also considering going to UC Davis instead of NYU...however I'm still trying to decide between the two...if we factor out financial reasons altogether, would it be stupid to go to Davis instead of NYU??? I'm probably going to do a Chem major.</p>
<p>Davis is a really good choice for any science related major really. I don't know the specific rankings or differences between the programs, but I do know that Genentech does do a lot of recruiting at Davis, so if your looking for a hook, that is a very good one. =)</p>
<p>The area is pretty nice too, suburbia sort of, but it has a college feel.</p>
<p>i think uc davis' specialty is science, and therefore if you're a science major you might have more resources and opportunities at UC Davis. They also said they have a big career center, and they get alot of their students to do internships. </p>
<p>But since i'm a journalism major..i'm looking a little more at NYU and USC.</p>
<p>I don't know what I'm going to do. I want NYU as much as I have ever wanted anything, but a six figure debt scares the crap out of me. I thought getting in was the hard part...</p>
<p>Well, anywhere I go I'm going to be in debt. It's just a matter of how much.</p>
<p>sigh im right there with you bettyrides : (...are there any NYU alum on here that have major debt? how is it paying off the debt, does it really kill ur life after graduation?</p>
<p>Superman, that's what I really want to know. I don't want to hear from the kids that are freshmen or sophomores at NYU who still have a few years yet to worry about their loans. I want to hear from the kids that are paying for it now (literally and figuratively), and whether or not it was all worth it.</p>
<p>and see if anyone has asked the same question. If not, you can ask it yourself and see what responses you get. 99% of the posters there are students.</p>
<p>This data includes where our students work after graduation (both geographically and professionally.) Also, be encouraged to us the following link to see some of the services available to our students through the Career Services Office.</p>
<p>That first link has A LOT of useful data concerning how much graduates earn and stuff like that. Maybe that can help you out--it sure gives me hope.</p>
