<p>Yesterday I got my acceptance into GSP and at first I was really upset because I was pretty much under the opinion that it was community college for kids there to get to say they go to NYU. And I seriously thought I stood a good chance of getting onto CAS (1360 SAT, 4.9 GPA, top 5%, Pres of Spanish Honor Society, VP of Student Council, etc) and i had heard GSP SATs were generally around the early to mid 1200s. Then i went online and looked around on the site and it started to sound more interesting and I was going to major in English anyway. So now I’m thinking of asking for the London campus thing they have with those other two colleges. Is that a new thing for next year or just started this year? If it is something someone experienced before, would you/he/she recommend it? Would it be weird coming back as a sophmore to NYC with the mentality (like knowing where things are/ knowing few ppl) of a Freshman? Do the other NYU students have some sort of superiority complex over the GSP students? This is all stuff I’m just wondering even though I’m still waiting to hear back fom BU, Emerson College, Fordham, and Geneseo.</p>
<p>1360 SAT, 4.9 GPA, top 5%…and you got GSPed? Holy ****.</p>
<p>I can’t wait to see the c/o 2011 stats…that’s ridiculous.</p>
<p>This year must’ve been SUPER competitive…holy crap.</p>
<p>Hopefully this will translate into a bump in the USNEWS rankings ;)</p>
<p>yeh, it is really competitive this year. My mom called up to ask why I didn’t get into CAS and they said they had over 35000 applicants this year and that it was super competitive and that anyone who got into GSP should be ecstatic that they did.</p>
<p>glad to see we’re all in the same boat… it’s been frustrating me a little.</p>
<p>Wait, let me get this straight:
If I applied RD to Stern, I might be accepted into GSP instead? I don’t want to offend anyone, but is GSP then like the “overflow” for those who couldn’t get into their top-choice NYU school?</p>
<p>Wait, let me get this straight:

<p>why would it be more competitive if they had a decrease in applications?</p>
<p>It’s possible the actual quality of the student body improved, albeit with a smaller applicant population than my class (2010). Still a good outcome, if you ask me.</p>
<p>from your scores my chances dont look good.</p>
<p>I hope being a double legacy helps amidst all this competition…</p>
<p>Does anyone know if its possible to do GSP the first year and then apply as a transfer into CAS as a sophmore if I keep my grades really high?</p>
<p>Reading back through the older pages, I found somone saying that someone DID transfer as a sophomore.</p>
<p>diehldun:</p>
<p>About the whole “overflow” thing… I’ve been tending to think the same way at some points… but then again, would you rather take your chances at being waitlisted? It’s well known that they rarely accept anyone on the waiting list, so if NYU is one of your top choices, I see no harm in GSP. I’ve been struggling with my case because NYU isn’t one of my top choices. I don’t look down on GSP at all, but imagine spending all that money at NYU for two years, just to decide to transfer out? Basically all you’d walk out of there with is an associates degree, and that’s a hell of a lot of money for something you can get at a community college.</p>
<p>Wow, I didn’t know what GSP was until this thread, and it’s completely different than what I thought (did some research). I don’t think I’d be any better off in GSP, compared to Stern.</p>
<p>diehldun, very few Stern applicants get referred to GSP so I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you.</p>
<p>hmm, so i guess for stern it’s either accept or reject.</p>
<p>I just recieved my acceptance letter to GSP yesterday, and I have been reading up on the forums, and websites but I still don’t really get the program…</p>
<p>I mean I have the statistical info. down as well as ‘what’ it is by definition but…</p>
<p>my main question is How would my first two years in CAS versus my two years in GSP be different? Simply the courses? What would the courses in CAS be like?</p>
<p>If GSP is “second-tier” or however you want to put it why do the GSP information booklets state that its class sizes are smaller and the students can become closer to faculty…isn’t that an advantage that should be awarded to “higher-level” students?</p>
<p>What percentage of students meet the 3.0 min. gpa requirements by the end of their sophomore year? What happens if you don’t meet those requirements?</p>
<p>I’m so conflicted. I’m super excited that I got into NYU but it’s also very expensive…is GSP worth it?</p>
<p>well, congratulations!
Could you give your stats?</p>
<p>If i were to be put in gsp i wouldn’t attend because although NYU is my top choice, i don’t want another two years of high school…but that’s just me.</p>
<p>i would definally go.</p>
