  1. Last month I got into (and accepted the offer of) NYU's GSAS Computer Science MS program. Today, I checked the status of my NYU Poly application and saw that I got accepted there with a $6000 annual scholarship. Now, I don't know what to do. I'm transferring out of a pretty terrible program that I only decided to attend because it was cheap, so I don't want money to be to sole deciding factor here (even though it is still a factor). Also, I'm an international student, if that matters. Here are my thoughts. Feel free to correct my misconceptions. NYU GSAS pros: - Better ranked - Interesting-sounding classes that I'd like to take - It's a bigger school so I'd be able to find on-campus work fairly easily - Doesn't have the weird is-it-part-of-NYU-or-not stigma - Great career services cons: - If I'm transferring the maximum allowed number of credits (9), I won't be able to take an internship class next summer - More expensive NYU Poly pros: - Cheaper - Scholarship - I'd be able to intern - Supposedly has a really great career placement program cons: - Unclear as to how closely it's associated with NYU - Their website lacks a lot of information, which, to me, signifies a lot of red tape (my current school has the same problem so I'm, sadly, speaking from experience) I'd really appreciate any and all input!
  2. Thanks for the replies. I emailed the admission advisor and got a 2-week extension. They were really cool and understanding about it.
  3. I got accepted into 2 of the schools I've applied to, and I'm still waiting to hear on the rest. However, the reply deadline for one of them is April 1, and the other April 15. I doubt I'd hear back from the remaining school by then. What's the etiquette about asking for a reply-deadline extension? Thanks!
