Hm, I’m not so sure NYU makes “100 millions a year in profits” from LSP. Can you substantiate this claim somehow?</p>

If NYU allowed transfers, that would effectively be giving rejects a “second chance” without potentially compromising admission statistics as much. *</p>

Your SAT score is that of one LSP student, which by itself doesn’t say much about the average scores of all LSP students, which is what I was discussing in my opening post. Btw, where are you finding this median score and how was it calculated? Whether or not this equals the official median (debatable depending on the method of determination), note that if the data used in calculating the median includes scores by other LSP students, such scores may (or may not) be “pulling down the median” in the sense that the median would (or would not) have been higher had the scores of LSP students been excluded. *</p>
<ul>
<li>I just want to reiterate that the belief that LSP students having lower SAT/ACT or GPA scores on average compared to the corresponding scores of other NYU students is based on what I’ve heard from various sources, but I have yet to find an authoritative source confirming this. It’s possible I’m wrong about the scores. Perhaps there would be clarification if NYU publicly provided definitive criteria for admission to LSP somewhere.</li>

It seems possible that there could be very little relation … or there could be a very significant relation. Also, it’s not the potential compromise of higher rankings that is of primary concern, but rather the average quality of the student body as measured by relevant factors such as academic scores.</p>
