<p>I just found out today that I was offered GSP. I was actually a little surprised, in a good way though, because I knew NYU was a reach school for me. </p>
<p>My stats: Jersey girl not a minority
SAT: 660V 570M 630W
SAT II: 710 USHIS 650Lit
GPA: 97
Rank: 8/100</p>
<p>But yeah, I’m a little uncomfortable with it. It’s sort of like “I kinda got into NYU” lol So I don’t know, is getting offered GSP still getting NYU…would it be fair for me to say “I got into NYU”?</p>
<p>Congrats, to everyone who got into GSP, the stats are pretty amazing this year!</p>
<p>i tell everyone i got into NYU. because in the end, that’s where i’m going. gsp is just NYU with low SAT scores and a ****load of required courses</p>
<p>I applied to CAS and got deferred to GSP and I DID RSVP. However, i’m still trying to decide if I really want to go there. I am from a small town in Minnesota and even though I only applied to schools far from home- being in one of the biggest cities in the world is a little worrisome. I have also been accepted to Smith and waitlisted at Wellesley: I am waiting to hear back from Williams and Amherst. Has anyone else come from the same background and attended NYU- if so why did you decide to go there and what were the other schools you applied to?
Thanks for ur help, Kelsey.</p>
<p>Which is better for pre-health, aka where should I go: NYU GSP (transfer to CAS), University of Rochester, or Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)? Thoughs/comments are appreciated, thanks.</p>
<p>hey guys! i got accepted to NYU GSP and Fordham University…its a tough decision. I don’t want to take all those unneccesary classes in my first 2 years of college at NYU. Plus, where is pre-med best, NYU GSP or Fordham ? thanks for your help.</p>
<p>AllieP I’m having a similarly tough decision btwn fordham (LC), nyu and bu.
I was a little discouraged about the being GSP’d but I talked to my college counselor about it and she said for me (as a tischie after only 1 year in GSP) it is a good option for my personality.</p>
<p>as for NYU vs UR…i dont like NYU. its a commuter school and its got no real campus - I should know, I live in nyc.
Its overrated and overly selective. the GSP program is a sad excuse for the real CAS school - its just a way for them to keep their stats up.</p>
<p>NYU’s premed tho is rather impressive, but then again so is UR’s. I think you should take a step back and consider what kinda atmosphere ur looking for before u look into the premeds.</p>
<p>Urban? (UR)
or Super-Urban aka metropolitan (NYU)</p>
<p>Campus? (UR)
or no campus (NYU)</p>
<p>Relatively Small Student Body? (UR)
Super Big Student Body? (NYU - nyu’s complete campus is THE largest student body in the country)</p>
<p>i live in Hong Kong and I got put into GSP … it sorta feels like the reject path for people who didnt get put into CAS :(. I doubt I will go, because… i am not into the whole social/cultural foundations thing… and so currently deciding between pepperdine and USC. </p>
<p>my stats
SAT :1850
SAT II: Chinese with Listening 800<br>
Literature 550<br>
Mathematics Level 1 610
good recs
good ECs…</p>
<p>i think you should go to USC. they have a great alumni association (great for jobs) and a lot of their programs are really great (Annenberg for Communications, Film/Television, Marshall for Business) and its in LA. not some beach near LA. And Pepperdine is very religiously affiliated so if you’re not religious…that might be a minus in your book…</p>
<p>is there anyone who has actually been in GSP who can tell me whetehr its fun? or worth it to go? what is there to do in Florence? according to most of my friends, it gets boring?</p>
<p>i got into gsp and decided to go. nyu has been my first choice and i really just want to experience ny…the program seems like it offers a lot, and there seems to be a lot of benefits. i guess we’ll see. so who else here is for sure in going into gsp?</p>
<p>hii…i’m going to be going to nyu gsp too…for pre-med but majoring in Communications and Media studies…i’m not dorming tho…so commuting from queens is going to b a pain…im going to try to take my classes in just 3 days a wk…hope it works</p>
<p>hey guys,
i just finished my first year of GSP at nyu last week and i have to say, i really enjoyed it! you guys probably think like its the “reject path” but it really isnt because most GSP students are to-be CAS students and the courses part of GSP’s curriculum is nearly the same as the MAP curriculum which CAS kids and even stern kids are required to fulfill. The only real difference between GSP and CAS is that CAS is a bit harder and less rigid than GSP (but be happy bc you wont have to ‘writing the essay’- the class from hell; instead you’ll happily fulfill your expository writing credit by taking prose comp). During your soph year, you’re allowed to take CAS courses so you’re virtually a CAS student. Im not saying GSP is easy because I definitely struggled. Many many many gsp students are extremely talented and I hate it when other students look down upon us as if we dont deserve to be at NYU but dont take that personally. I know im a bit late but for those of you who accepted your seat at gsp, i can try to answer any questions regarding the program. Just email be at <a href=“mailto:d12n2@nyu.edu”>d12n2@nyu.edu</a></p>
<p>Hey guys! I just graduated from gsp last week! I’m planning to transfer to usc since it’s closer to home and since i can start focusing on my major requirements. however, gsp was one of the most incredible experiences i’ve ever had in my life! the classes are small (my gsp classes had no more than 15 students on average) and the professors CARE about you. They want you to do well, and they also want you to have a life outside of classes, instead of studying 24/7 =) Also, one of the best parts of being in gsp are the teacher recommendations. Whether you want to transfer to a different college, or whether you want to get an internship, since your professors know you, they can write EXTREMELY personal recommendations, which is a plus. I can go on talking about how awesome gsp is, but unless you take the initiative and try it out, you’ll never understand how wonderful it is =)</p>
and a ****load of required courses</p>
