<p>Nobody’s debating the merits of each school or which school is “better”. Everyone knows that’s heavily subjective and is only valid on a person to person basis. But you did a good job beating a strawman to death. The OP wanted to know the selectivity of the respective schools. Presumably because he/she really wants to go to NYU, and doesn’t care so much about the specific program. He/she probably just wants to know how much more risk there is in applying to Stern.</p>
<p>So yes, sitting on a moral high horse and trying to lecture us on how our argument is petty and childish may sound good. But it really doesn’t help the OP make a decision whatsoever.</p>
<p>A moral high horse? Right… Clearly morality is involved in this… </p>
<p>Secondly, you aren’t one to talk about what’s helpful for the OP - I’ve provided numbers with sources - you’ve provided “Well, I don’t think that those numbers are right because I said so!”</p>
<p>Its not about morals, jeez. These are all moral choices. Its about what degees have what values (at least in part). That the LSP kids end up with CAS degrees (for the most part) means to me at least that the CAS degrees have significantly less value.</p>
<p>NYU2013 - I never said morality was involved… reading comprehension ITT. As for your numbers, I’ve clearly already pointed out why they’re faulty. Unless you think non-Stern, Tisch and CAS programs have a 45% acceptance rate, then one or both of the points of data you’re using are wrong. It’s simple algebra, not rocket science.</p>
<p>Kayf - My comment on moral high horses had nothing to do with school choice. And I don’t know that CAS degrees have significantly less value. Less advantageous for finance and accounting, sure. Not so much elsewhere.</p>
<p>So NYU 2013, which one did you end up applying to, and did you get in? I’m just asking because my stats are quite similar to yours and I was debating between CAS and Stern as well…heh</p>
