<p>How many classes per week? 4 per semester right? Do they meet twice a week? Thanks for any help.</p>
<p>bumpppppppppppp</p>
<p>4 classes that meet twice a week.</p>
<p>What's the schedule like for most of them?</p>
<p>And how long are the classes? Anyone?</p>
<p>GSP is a waist for two years...
Go Somewhere else.</p>
<p>jokr95--you spelled "waste" wrong.</p>
<p>jokr-Why are you so against GSP? Also, can anyone answer my question?</p>
<p>I think it might be because he got waitlisted on his way to Stern.</p>
<p>Oh ok. How sad.</p>
<p>classes are an hour and 15 minutes each and the classes are mostly scheduled Monday - Thursday whatever time of day you choose.</p>
<p>Well Stern is one thing.
But it makes more sense to think about the true intentions of GSP.
C'mon. No other school is a program that is close to GSP. You are enrolled in GSP for two years. Low SAT scores, fine. Give a summer program designed to help students get better at writing, or what ever it is in 2 months, between the end of the hgih school senior year to the beganning of Fall classes, rather than wasting 2 years on pointless classes. </p>
<p>At first when I did find out I had been enrolled in GSP, I was glad. But the more I thought about it, it just made more sense to think that they are keeping these kids just to make a profit out of them. If the truly believed that this kid has "potential", as it states on the GSP letters, then they would enroll him or her into the perferred school of choice.</p>
<p>And you talking about almost $100,000...for two years...and your not even enrolled in Stern or CAS or whatever it may be.</p>
<p>Being told that its the second largest enterting class at NYU is just to make you feel proud and better...when in reality you'd be better off at another school. And if you want to go there so bad, and its your "Dream" school, then GSP is exactly for you, because it does just that. Its keeps the kids that want to go to NYU by not letting them sort of enter the true teaching arena. I bet you most kids in the ED round prolly didnt get rejected, but rather were told to go to GSP.</p>
<p>Jokr95, you sound jealous. GSP is NYU! You get the same NYU degree as anyone else and after you take the required classes, you can start taking classes in whatever field you would like (second year). Lastly, many schools have GSP. Boston University, for one has the same exact program.</p>
<p>I totally agree with Jokr95. It doesn't make any sense to me why they would make GSP students take unnecessary classes for two years, regardless of whether they cover the MAP requirements or not. Especially for pre-med students in GSP who need to take like 8 required courses before the spring of their junior year? With the first year being so restricted, it must be difficult.</p>
<p>Is it true that GSP students get priority over other students junior year b/c they would already have finished their core classes already? I read that somewhere on cc but wasn't sure if it was true. Is anyone going to do GSP for sure?</p>
<p>There are many disadvantages for GSP. But if NYU is definately his top choice, I think it's worth sacrificing the ability to choose classes for 2 years so he could go to NYU.</p>
<p>There ya go Phoenix. You said it yourself. "If NYU is deinately his top choice" then he should go to NYU. </p>
<p>GSP is designed exactly for these types of kids. This way...NYU keeps the kids that want to attend, give them crappy scholarships and financial aid because THEY know that students want to come there so bad, and at the same time, offer merely 400 Merit scholarships to like the top of the top kids in order to bring them into their system. This way...they get to have their cake and eat it too.</p>
<p>I'm not jealous. Thats absurd. I rather go to a university where I am accepted on an immediate basis rather than be shaped into something I'm not. It accepting a student for who he or she is. Its more than just academics. Its feeling comfortable.</p>
<p>NYU has repeatedly said that for exceptions like pre-med and other business type majors, they do everything they can for you to take as many needed classes.</p>
