<p>Haha, true that.</p>
<p>salem1, your sarcasm is funny for all the wrong reasons. Maybe, instead of quoting me and laughing like it’s obvious, you should try to refute my points as you have yet to declare yourself independant of the all-venerated state of retardation.</p>
<p>You wrote, “Perhaps it’s the term “whore”??? not really very sensitive or politically correct as it’s offensive to the majority of women.”</p>
<p>And after I pointed out that you are being stupid, and that this has nothing to do with women, your witty retort was, “oh really…I thought you were actually calling her a hooker…thanks for setting me straight.” </p>
<p>If you didn’t think I was calling her a hooker, and understood whoring/prostitution to be as I defined it (or oh-so-obviously ‘set you straight’), please elaborate on what, exactly, the hell you are talking about. Oh, and thanks for quoting me without making a point in your ruthless wit. If you’d like lessons on how to use sarcasm, I’ll let you take notes as I continue pointing out how dumb you are. But since you’re not yet prepared for greatness, I’ll put you in my “General School of Sarcasm,” and hopefully you’ll turn it down because you’re nothing more than a prestige whore.</p>
<p>RacPaime, did you just say that going to NYU GSP is ‘self degradation’?</p>
<p>Thank you vercingetorix and kezbies for helping people put GSP in perspective as a great opportunity.</p>
<p>Hi guys, I have a question. I got into GSP but am waiting on other schools. I was notified by email.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Does this mean I can tell them what place I would like (i.e. Paris) and still accept another school’s offer (April 1st ish) and turn down GSP then?</p>
<p>never nada nope… gsp means rejection to the original school you applied to</p>
<p>I’m talking about a different univeristy. If I get in to a uni that I want. can I then turn down GSP after confirming which place I would like for first year abroad?</p>
<p>oh yeah, GSP is non-binding</p>
<p>but… you might wanna check with the admission officers… post here [Freshman</a> Admissions - Forum Powered by eve community](<a href=“http://nyu.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/9834033161]Freshman”>http://nyu.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/9834033161)</p>
<p>kezbies…you’re the poster who makes fun of the NYU applicants without money right? Ryan mac you should be proud to have such a fan. BTW, I am plenty calm, as are the other several posters you have told to “relax”</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with GSP…probably would have taken the offer myself. I thought the point we were discussing was a cc members ability to voice their opinions or worries without being called “spineless” and “to get over yourself” or the very friendly “I wish you would have gotten rejected”</p>
<p>I apologize for using wit and sarcasm as opposed to random rants and insults. Better get used to it, lots of wit around Washington Square, lot’s of tolerance too.</p>
<p>Best to all NYU 2008 applicants, it is an honor to be accepted GSP and from what I see on the boards very few of you have anything to worry about in APril…see you there</p>
<p>Damsel - thanks for the reassurance. I think this whole GSP thing just isn’t worth my energy worrying over anymore.</p>
<p>I applaud you for confessing. Funny thing is, my parents aren’t prestige freaks, but I am (or maybe they are, but won’t admit it, whatever) I try not to be, but with typical Asian relatives and neighbors, it’s bit hard not to be one. I applied to NYU as a safe match, so I must admit, receiving that email was a complete disappointment. Yes, I might be a bit bitter. I won’t name names here, but with all seriousness, I do understand that the GSP is a completely acceptable program, it just might not be for everyone. I’m glad I still got into NYU, but my school broadcasts college acceptances everyday, so when people ask me the details of my acceptance, explaining to my classmates that I was semi-rejected from CAS is just a bit embarrassing, especially when they’ve got a look of pity on their faces. Nonetheless, life goes on, and if I don’t get accepted to any of my top schools, I suppose I’ll always have UMich, who actually accepted me into their CAS with enthusiasm.</p>
<p>Clandestine, U of M (I’m envious) well done, plenty of prestige there, no doubt about it. I don’t see why anyone who gets into GSP would have to explain anything. You got into NYU…nuff said (plus you got into Michigan???) That’s better then 98% of your classmates will fair. Don’t ask…don’t tell, NYU is NYU baby</p>
<p>I don’t think people not thinking GSP as the honor they were expecting is worthy of being called “spoiled little idiots”…again not nice Ryan, not nice.</p>
<p>That’s my intellectual argument…that what your’e looking for? Thought I’d made that clear, maybe I should write a cut and paste a definition of “tolerance” for you…you seem to respond to that kind of reasoning. </p>
<p>I don’t think I need to defend my style of critical thinking as not being able to “argue anything”. More than that I try to pride myself on not being a bully or mean spirited. You get pi<strong><em>ed at people you think are spoiled and spineless. I get pi</em></strong>ed when collegues on the board get called names.</p>
<p>But yes part of tolerance is accepting people who don’t share your opinion (whether it’s the “right” way to respond to a GSP letter, or a poster like you whose manner I might not like…at least on this thread) </p>
<p>SO yes, I will tolerate you, cause you have the right to an opinion, and yes we do agree on most of the important stuff. (Not the lest of which NYU is a most awesome place) and GSp is an honor. No hard feelings</p>
<p>got an appearence to make at a party now, best of luck (I mean it)</p>
<p>RyanMac- I thank you for personally addressing me-how very kind of you. I am sorry if those people with higher qualifications than you are disappointed with getting accepted to GSP. I wish you well in your future endeavors, whether it is at NYU or wherever. Perhaps I am spineless, but I don’t need some ■■■■■■ bag to point that out to me. I would rather take pride in being spineless than being a bitter, name-calling ■■■■■■■ who enjoys insulting people on an online message board. I mean really you should get a life.</p>
<p>GSP is basically acceptance into NYU. Unless you have a poor GPA after two years under GSP (under 3.0 GPA), then no. But then again, you need a decent GPA ( 3.0 GPA) for a career. So no worries. At least NYU is in Manhattan! My college is in the Bronx ugh!</p>
<p>True, but I think GSP is generally reserved for candidates with undecided major, since GSP students take the core classes required by NYU for graduation. Most CAS students likely will go to their major courses first, leaving the core classes less filled. I am assuming this. </p>
<p>Did anyone with GSP wrote down a major? If so, what was it?</p>
<p>I deleted my post, salem, because minutes after I posted it I realized that I didn’t want to continue this stupid dicussion. So now that you are clear, I know where we differ because I don’t think being nice to people who complain about getting into NYU (yes, that is what they are doing) is right. And now that you’ve proved to me that you go to parties, you have made yourself that much cooler. Thanks for that little nugget.</p>
<p>nac889, I didn’t get GSP’d and I didn’t get rejected. Thanks for being able to read. But seriously, why should I ‘get a life’ when I can have your parents make one for me? It has seemed to work out phenomenally well for you. Also remember that you are the one who began this when you called what I said BS instead of actually explaining your opinion.</p>
<p>Here is the thing, and you can check out my post history if you’d like: I am nice. I am nice to people who don’t act like absolute idiots and in two years looking at this board, this is the first time I have come across absolute idiocy. Yes, people who want to go to NYU not going because of “prestige issues” of GSP is absolute idiocy. I’m not posting here anymore, but I hope you contiue to support people who moan about getting into NYU. I hope you continue to feed the fire of spoiled kids upset because they aren’t as good as they think they are. So, now that we’ve got that out of the way, good luck with your futures as well.</p>
<p>RyanMac, I appreciate your response. You don’t know my situation, so don’t you dare pretend that you are so self-righteous and all-knowing. Please, continue in your condescending and arrogant manner. Wow, you have really taken a blow to my self-esteem. I am so hurt. How about you do me a big favor, and go screw yourself. Have a grand day.</p>
<p>NAC…maybe we should be more understanding to Ryan…poor guy, you’re in… and he’s not, and he’s a teensy nervous you see, questioning himself and his own ego… if he get’s GSPed and what everyone would say??? </p>
<p>Here he is writing his redundant rants that sound so darn articulate at the time, just to post them…read the responses…feel foolish, maybe embarassed, so he erases them. Then he responds saying “he wasn’t going to continue the stupid discussion” (you see Nac…he was ABOVE it cause he’s so damn insightful and we’re so damn stupid) BUT then low and behold…HE RESPONDS to the stupid discussion after all.</p>
<p>Let him call us “■■■■■■■■” or “dumb”, it works in 2nd grade on the playground doesn’t it? You wanna really have fun…e-mail his brilliantly argued posts to some of your friends for a laugh. I suggest we don’t stoop to his level (not to insult you and say that’s even remotely possible, you seem quite bright)</p>
<p>Let’s just send happy thoughts and warm wishes to Ryan…don’t worry buddy, no one will call you “■■■■■■■■ or dumb” (your words) if you don’t get in, we know that’s flat out not nice.</p>
<p>sorry to hijack this thread but i’ve read in too many places abt “superscoring” SAT… what is this?</p>
<p>Some schools pick the SAT scores from your best test date. Superscoring means they will pick the highest CR from one date, the highest M from another and highest writing from a third, instead of insisting that CR, math and writing are all from a single date.</p>
<p>is there anyone else on cc who thinks that they should have received a GSP letter but has yet to receive one?</p>
