<p>Happy holiday everyone! I am an international student from China. First thank all the warm hearted guys in CC, all of your advice and suggestions have been very very helpful to me, Thank you for guiding me on the road to college!</p>
<p>I got admitted into the Liberal Studies Program in NYU in ED, I knew that is a second rate program. And need to spend the first year abroad then come back to NY in the second year and transfer to the College of arts and science in Junior year. But I think there are many risks in this process, and not sure what will happen after I complete the two-year LSP study. And worry about how my diploma will look like after graduation and my isolation from the other directly-admitted NYU student body. I am going to major in international relations and my parents say that some time in the future I will have to go to NYC to pursue my career. So NYU still seem like a good choice. So I am very confused now.</p>
<p>I wish some friends who have attended this program or some people who know well about this program can give me some advice. Should I decline the offer of NYU LSP? I have to make the decision by Jan.15.2012.</p>
<p>I am also admitted by the UIUC in EA and the major is Political Science, and I am worry about the liberal arts in UIUC cause they may not be as strong as Engineering and Acounting in UIUC. </p>
<p>PS: the admission letter from NYU did not say that I am rejected by College of Arts and Sciences, they say that "in addition to considering you for the admission of CAS, we also consider you for admission in LSP, and we concluded that LSP is best for you to pursue your liberal arts bachelor" Does that mean I still have hope for CAS in NYU?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
