<p>Ok so here's the situation: I got rejected from all my other schools (i guess it was difficult this year, but i was aiming for the ivys - def. all reach schools, even as i thought i had a decent chance at cornell or brown =/ ) anyways, after all the rejections all I have left is NYU - the LSP not even CAS, and SBU, univeristy scholars not even honors or WISE. Right now all I'm thinking about is working my hardest in any of the two and trying to transfer sophmore yr to any ivy.
so here are some Q's:
Would it be easier to transfer to a top school from a decent one such as NYU or a state school - SBU?? I mean would it look better if i got a really good gpa from NYU rather than SBU??
Also, there is a dramatic difference in price to consider - comparing like $56,000 a yr (like 40,000 after FA) for NYU and $5,000 (2500 after FA) for SBU - HUGE difference. I live really close to SBU, so i'll def. commute but is NYU's experience worth that amount of money?<br>
At SBU, I wont get the college experience and all I'll be doing freshman yr is going to classes and coming home, not socializing much; plus i really dont like the campus and hear people are really unhappy there, it also seems pretty boring compared to be living in the city were I'm only a train-ride away from home but get to live at a dorm and make a social life.</p>
<p>What would you choose?</p>
