<p>I was accepted last year to NYU and wasn't really sure if I wanted the NYU experience as an undergrad. However, after being a student at W&M for a semester, I feel that it isn't quite right for me. I also became highly interested in economics after enrolling at W&M and NYU's outstanding econ program is a big draw. My application has improved dramatically in my opinion since enrolling at W&M but will NYU hold it against me that I turned them down last year? Also, I'm thinking about trying for Stern but I definitely want to go to NYU so I'm thinking I should be more conservative and apply for CAS econ.</p>
