<p>i got into GSP but is worth it compared to a state school</p>
<p>I think it depends on the state school. XD</p>
<p>^^^i agree</p>
<p>(however, i will say that i’m choosing my state u over nyu 
$$$)</p>
<p>I picked a nearby university over NYU. University of Dallas. I get to study in Rome for a semester, so that’s cool.</p>
<p>how do you know which location you got. I just got my admissions packet and I selected the Washington Square location on the original rsvp, but this new packet is a little confusing</p>
<p>Hey-- could someone help me out?</p>
<p>What would your schedule look like if you wanted to get out of GSP early? I will have already fulfilled the math/science requirement with AP credit, I’m just wondering how your schedule would be structured, and what you should take when.</p>
<p>Thank youuu</p>
<p>If you want to get out of gsp earlier, I think it really depends on what your major is. I mean if you want to got to medical school, I checked once on the website and they don’t really like if you use your calc ap credit.</p>
<p>You can always try calling nyu admissions or a gsp student on the hotline number they mailed in the admissions packet.</p>
<p>Why is GSP considered “the ■■■■■■ school of NYU” Im really confused because I keep hearing conflicting view points about it. What is so bad about GSP? Are there any advantages? I got selected for GSP even though I have a 4.3, a million extracurriculars, a 30 on my ACT, 6 AP courses, and extensive community service, however my best friend got into gallatin and she has a 3.8, a 29 on her ACT, minimal extracurriculars and very little community service, and I dont think she has ever even taken an AP course, except for one semester of psych…
I’m confused as to the criteria for entering into GSP and why it puts me at a disadvantage…
oh and im also ranked 40 out of a class of 800 and shes closer to 140…</p>
<p>Also… GSP or USC?</p>
<p>Did you apply to CAS? Because if you did, CAS is a more academically rigorous program. If you didn’t, I don’t know for sure.</p>
<p>GSP, as has been explained many times, is for students that NYU feels would benefit from smaller classrooms and a more liberal-arts-oriented education during their first 1-2 years of university. </p>
<p>The “■■■■■■” aspect comes from the idea that students aren’t “ready” for the colleges they applied for. Usually the students that get into the school are those that are very lopsided on their applications (ie have a perfect verbal but low math score on the SAT) or seem to have very little idea of what they want to do in university.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got into GSP, but I declined it. I really tried hard for the school because it was where I wanted to go before, but I didn’t like the General Studies Program aspect. It wasn’t my thing.</p>

<p>If you wanna see my full stats, it’s up there!</p>
<p>I got an email from NYU yesterday (2/12) saying I have been admitted to GSP.
I still don’t know if I should go or not, any suggestions? thanks</p>
<p>Holly, I’m super jealous. Just thought you should know. What are your stats?</p>
<p>everyone i know who went to GSP really liked it, and they were able to keep up their grades enough to get into the program of their choice. the first two years don’t really matter since they would all be liberal arts core classes anyway. plus, you get to get out of some of the boring MAP classes. i say do it, if you really want to go to NYU. no one will care if you’re in GSP and you’ll be in the program of your choice, eventually.</p>
<p>GSP doesn’t exist anymore…it’s LSP now. How did they email you so soon?</p>
<p>Past years’ threads indicate that GSP (now LSP) invites were sent out as early as February and continued through March. </p>
<p>My daughter (a freshman) said she would be glad to answer any questions. If you want to batch them up, she can reply on this thread on Sunday. She’s very happy, feels she made the right decision, and had a terrific first semester. Doesn’t feel like people look down on LSP. In fact, she’s met other students who didn’t even know what LSP is.</p>
<p>I just received my LSP invitation and requested my formal admissions packet. I’m really excited! I have a good friend in the program so I called her and she assured me that it was perfect for me. I’m so excited to learn more and to have this option!</p>
<p>You guys are receiving LSP invitations through email?</p>
<p>Congratulations mp153! Try to make it to one of the LSP Info programs. It’s very informative and you’ll probably get a chance to see some of the freshmen dorms. </p>
<p>Chris, at least last year, the initial LSP invite letter came in the mail. I’m very surprised that the initial contact would be through e-mail.</p>
