<p>Help!</p>
<p>I was accepted to both Mcgill and NYU and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to decide between them. I'm looking to study political science, and the various things that go with it.</p>
<p>I got into NYU's GLS program (global liberal studies) which is supposed to be this up and coming program, but I'm unsure if its exactly what i want. It sometimes sounds more like an extended high school curriculum.</p>
<p>Also i know that Mcgill was rated higher than NYU. So would that mean it would be better to go there since the reputation is more recognized. IS the reputation even really that more recognized? ...its always seemed to me that NYU would be higher. No offense.</p>
<p>Any thoughts would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>your decision will be Montreal vs. New York.
Unless you got into Stern, prestige is irrelevant here.</p>
<p>NYU until recently was not considered very prestigious at all. (Or at least to all the people here who live within an hour of it.) Unless you are attending Stern or Tisch, I think that prestige is irrelevant. In the US, for grad school, your McGill degree will be regarded just as highly if not more so than one from NYU.
It’s really a matter of cost (sidenote: my NYU fin aid package gave me a $5,000 scholarship and “awarded” me $49,491 per year in loans) and location.</p>
<p>(Personally, I would be wary of GLS, though; at my information session, it sounded somewhat pointless and unfocused.)</p>
<p>Ya i’m not a fan of gls either. But i don’t know what school that makes me apart of, and if i can just ditch the program so to speak. Or do i have to transfer from the gls program to say the college of arts and science?</p>
<p>haha i had the same decision. i chose mcgill cuz its sciences are better and its wayy cheaper. (since im canadian there is zero fin aid to NYU)</p>
