<p>I was referred to GSP and wondering if I should go or not... I am wondering about academic at GSP. If you are a student at GSP, please help me out...</p>
<p>How difficult are classes at the GSP? Are workloads intense and high grades hard to maintain? Is it tough to maintain GPA higher than 3.8?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot in advance~! :)</p>
<p>well, it depends on where else are u accepted?</p>
<p>Classes in GSP are a joke. Workload is manageable. High grades? Depends on your teacher. It's difficult to maintain a GPA higher than 3.8 at any college.</p>
<p>GSP is not a joke. It's an intense course of study - lots of reading, lots of writing. GSP may have a reputation as the red-headed stepchild of NYU's undergraduate college, but I daresay that it's as challenging as coursework in Stern, Tisch, or CAS.</p>
<p>I love writing although I am not a good reader... Do I need to read more than 100 pages a day?</p>
<p>Challenging? Please. I learned over half the material I'm learning in GSP back in high school.</p>
<p>You don't need to much reading, IMO. I've only sat down and actually read my textbooks maybe....3-4 times this semester. You can coast and still get by...easily.</p>
<p>Can you tell me what grade you have now?</p>
<p>A, A, A, B or B-.</p>
<p>GSP is ridiculous at times. Their midterms include writing about what repetition is...they write essay's about Borat. For the most part, its a joke. The gsp kids i know all jsut sit around and hang out.</p>
<p>Do GSP kids get treated as lessers? also, does your transcipt say GSP or just NYU?</p>
<p>I've personally heard some really vicious things about the program, but disregard those people. When you graduate from NYU you get the same damn diploma as the rest of the CAS kids. Or whatever school you applied to.</p>
<p>^it'll be fun when one of those f ucks is working for a GSP alum. :)</p>
<p>Yeah. Those people need to be sent to a gulag and never be heard of again.</p>
<p>oh snap thaat's right!</p>
<p>My friend is only pulling a 2.7 in GSP right now which would eventually leave them w/ an associate's degree after two years. Then again, many people felt that person shouldn't have been accepted to NYU in the first place...</p>
<p>wut were his stats</p>
<p>His/her stats(they shall remain anonymous) included an 86 out of 100 avg (probably around a 3.3 gpa? w/ a DOWNWARD trend), not a URM, and 1360 SAT.</p>
<p>Your Highschool performance does not necisarily equate college. For instance, I did very little work in H.S., only worked when I absolutly HAD to. In college on the other hand, I became very responsible with deadlines and assignments as I began to realize that here I am taking exactly the courses that I want to take (gallatin). I love classes dealing with economics and politics, the classes i am primarily taking now. So you have to take into account not only how good the college you got into is, but what you will be studying. If reading Plato, studying history, etc isn't for you, then gsp might be a bad choice.</p>
<p>Not necessarily, yes, but I think he'll be fine.</p>
