<p>Well, if you are going to be an English major, then I guess you might have to worry a little about getting a high paying job. I would consider maybe going to a UC school in your case, and you should explain to your father that NYU is better than Columbia for undergraduate studies in a variety of circumstances, such as there undergraduate business program, and acting and so on and so forth. But I guess that doesn’t matter for you because Columbia has better Liberal Art majors I guess you can say. UC’s are not terrible to go to, and honestly, in my sole opinion, NYU CAS is a rip-off because you just pay so much money, expecting that you will be catered to in the city, and every wish will come true, and boom, it doesn’t happen. ( That is why it is the #1 dream school.) Don’t go for CAS, stick to UCs they are great too.</p>
