My son wasn’t particularly interested in prestige, but I’ve been suprised how known Gallatin is among people I’ve had casual conversations with in professional settings. “Hidden gem” is one phrase I’ve heard. It is very small (about 250 freshmen) and most applicants write a separate additional essay about their multi-disciplinary academic interests. It has nothing to do with LSP, which is very structured for two years. Gallatin is for those who are seeking to link the NYU resources across all schools to form an individualized area of study developed over four years. There are some courses taken wthin Gallatin as well, and senior presentation.
