<p>Hi and congrats for getting accepted to NYU. Yes, NYU because those are the only three letters that will appear on your diploma. That said, my daughter who also was accepted to UMich and her friend (accepted to Vasser) are GSP freshman and are happy and love NY and NYU. The courses are based on the Great Books program initiated at UChicago, Yale and Columbia U. These schools still use the program and one professor we know teaches the curric at C as well as GSP and says that the profs think highly of the program and the high caliber of the students. You get to skip the huge lecture classes for smaller rooms and far fewer people. You get to go to an incredible mansion in Florence in your Soph year if you like. My D takes a CAS elective in her Frosh year. In soph year you can start taking more electives and figure out your major if your haven’t already. If most kids were presented with a choice between standard CAS and GSP, after a quick review, I think they’d pick GSP for the smaller class size and personal attention. And there’s more good stuff. Enjoy!!!</p>
