<p>fyi- i am an nyu grad class of '96. i originally applied to and was accepted to cas. my sister is also an nyu grad, class of 2000 and she also graduated from cas, but was originally accepted to gsp. gsp doesn’t differ from the other schools on campus. you’re not separated in any way. you live in the same dorms, take classes in the same buildings, belong to the same student clubs, etc. it’s just like one student going to stern and another being in cas- you still go to nyu. gsp is just a 2 year detour before you finish your major in the last 2 years. and i wouldn’t consider time spent at gsp wasted in any way- you spend that time fulfilling your requirements which you’d have to do in any other school at nyu anyway. i found this thread because our much younger sister was just accepted to gsp (she thought it was the idiot’s version of nyu, haha) but it is not.</p>
<p>I understand that after the two years (assuming the gpa was kept up) you are admitted into the bachelor program to which you originally applied to. What happens if you applied undeclared?</p>
<p>you can’t apply to nyu without picking a school</p>
<p>****, i got into the gsp crap. i hoped i would get into nyu. got 2090 sat and top 5 % of class. great ec’s and rec’s… what’s up with this? am i not qualified for nyu? hopefully ill get into berkeley…</p>
<p>“why would it be more competitive if they had a decrease in applications?”</p>
<p>They said that they were expecting a drop in applications because of the new SAT II policy, but it wasn’t as bad as they thought it was going to be.</p>
<p>i just got into GSP, too.
i’m actually pretty disappointed, though i was a slight reach for cas.
blah.</p>
<p>I agree, Papercuts. It was disappointing.</p>
<p>qwerty1012 and papercuts, would you guys mind posting your stats?</p>
<p>coffeetoffe: I said “bachelor program,” not school. I applied to CAS undeclared.</p>
<p>yea, nyu is prettty tougher than i thought. i got into gsp with a 1390 old scale and i called them and an admissions officer told me that the avg sat score of those that were admitted had a 1410 old scale…</p>
<p>qwerty1012, was that (avg. SAT score) for NYU in general, or just GSP?</p>
<p>thats nuts. how are they going to find 10,000 kids with 1410+ old score sat to g o to a non-ivy league</p>
<p>hard to believe. i find that average score they told you as an excuse for your admissions to gsp.</p>
<p>amen.</p>
<p>how weird would it be if we all went through with this and all met up at orientation or whatever? CC pals… anyone want a roomie? haha… jk.</p>
<p>i got an acceptance from gsp yesterday. i applied to cas for journalism but didnt get in. i really did not realize how competitive nyu was. i thot my stats were pretty good but after lookin at everyone else, i gues i was lucky to even get into gsp.</p>
<p>So, I applied to CAS with a major in history and got pushed to GSP. </p>
<p>I get that I will have a spot in CAS by my junior year and blah blah blah, but is it worth going to? I think that’s what I’m most concerned about. I don’t want to be in an ass program for two years and spending an incredible amount of money when I can just apply to transfer in the same amount of years…</p>
<p>History? Don’t waste your money. The only way I’d recommend a student spending exorbitant amounts of money here is if they applied as a econ/finance/film major. Basically anything in Stern or Tisch. Anything else? Save that 100,000 and put in a mutual fund. Or however you’d like to spend it.</p>
<p>
she said it was the average for nyu (not gsp), meaning there are some people with higher scores and some with lower scores that got in
maybe but im just telling you what they told me. i found it hard to believe too. the people that got into nyu with a 1410+ probably just applied there as a safety school. i actually wanted to attend. im not trying to be conceited but i thought i had good stats to get into nyu. when i found out i got into gsp, i was confused.</p>
<p>when you guys say that the cut off was 1360…</p>
<p>is that old scale sat I?</p>
<p>or is it just math + reading?</p>
<p>why leave out writing? NYU doesn’t care about writing?</p>
<p>
<em>shakes head</em>
nobody ever said there was a cut off.<br>
here is the definition for
AVERAGE-
- the mean obtained by adding several quantities together and dividing the sum by the number of quantities
- typical; common; ordinary</p>
<p>
…funny… i applied as a history major…
that’s cute…</p>
