Hi! I was recently accepted into NYU class of 2024. I placed CAS as my first choice and LS as my second. I was admitted into LS. What does this mean? I hope to major in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. Will I still be able to take creative writing classes? Does being accepted in LS mean I’m on the bottom tier of students? Just seeking some clarification about LS! Thank you!
I also had CAS as my first choice and got accepted into LS. If you go to Meet NYU site you can find more about LS. There will also be Videos that you can register to attend online that can explain about LS. From what I know, in LS you study the core curriculum for two years and then on your junior year you can transfer to NYU’s other schools, such as CAS and choose your major (of course if you are accepted). I don’t think you should see it as the bottom tier, NYU is suuper competitive, a lot of ppl with great stats and applications were rejected or waitlisted, the fact that you got accepted should be more than enough, you were qualified enough to be accepted and that’s awesome! Don’t worry about it.
My son applied CAS and accepted into LS core, got a feeling of let down. On the bright side, received 22K LS scholarship which won’t happen if got in CAS!
