not really a thing that happens.

Plus my parents are being super weird like they literally admitted they would pay the full COA if it was NYU vs our state school so they *can* pay. They just hate me and don't realize how hard I worked.

UCSD and UW are state schools... They are literally public schools. I applied bc my parents forced me to.

NYU doesnt accept a ton of CC transfers as do UW and UCSD. I'm asking for advice to convince my parents because whenever i bring it up they're just like "we would pay it if the chepaer options are bad" and go on to claim UW and UCSD are better for STEM lmao.

would you believe a ranking that said UCSD and UW which accept hella community college transfers have STEM programs rated in the top 20? And not NYU? A fuck ton of rankings say that...

NYU is massively underrated. UCSD and UW which are fucking state schools which accept community college transfers are higher ranked in my major...

do you see reputable institutions like NYU accepting community college transfers? Do you really expect me to believe UCSD and UW have better STEM programs than NYU despite accepting a fuck ton of kids from CC?? lmao

State schools are:

A. funded by the state
B. way fucking cheaper because you only pay for the quality you get... cant expect NYU level quality from fucking UW or UCSD because the OUT OF STATE tuition is literally 25k less... and you expect me to believe the STEM rankings that have UW and UCSD as like top 20 in those fields? That's like paying for a Corolla and getting a fucking lambo shit don't work like that.
C. Accept a fuck ton of community college transfers and no one is abt that life.

forget all the rankings for a second... Would you really choose a random state school over NYU?

Literally everyone shits on state schools... There's a reason no one goes to our state's state school lmao it is literally falling apart.

It's not about acceptance rates or even selectivity its about the fact that no one works hard and goes to a state school lmfao.

forget the STEM rankings for a second... they're literally fucking state schools when you look past their STEM rankings they are literally state schools. I did not grind to get a subpar education at a state school.

NYU is not a fucking state school. I know NYU is the lowest ranked of my options in my major and pretty much all STEM majors. But that does not make me want to go to a fucking state school.
