NYU: CAS vs LSP?

<p>NYU now allows students to directly apply to LSP. Should I do this? Or should I apply to CAS, and then hope that I either get accepted or deferred to LSP? </p>

<p>My GPA is a 3.57 unweighted. I have a 2040 super-scored SAT and have the AP Scholar with honors award. My senior schedule consists of 7 AP classes. I am of Bolivian descent, and my parents never attended college. I feel like I have a decent amount of extracurriculars and I have 210 hours of community service.</p>

<p>apply to cas, lsp is just a money-making gimmick, and the fact that you are a 1st generation hispanic should get you into cas</p>
