  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!
