AP credit w/GSP

<p>Do you get any AP credit with the GSP program?
I got 5's on 4 AP exams, and am taking 5 more ap exams this year and plan to do well - probably four more 5's and one 4. Do GSP kids even get credit/advanced standing, or is it all a waste?</p>

<p>It will help you transfer out of GSP earlier. You should be able to transfer out one semester early, and you might be able to graduate CAS early as well.</p>

<p>AP credits are NOT a waste.</p>

<p>You need 4's or 5's though for credit.</p>

<p>I thought GSP was required for two years...can you really switch out early? If I get 5's on eight AP exams, would I be able to leave a semester early from GSP?</p>

<p>Depending on what exams you are taking, NYU will potentially give you 32 credits for those 8 exams (8 x 4). 32 credits is a full year of study (16 credits a semester).</p>

<p>Not only will this allow you to switch out of GSP a semester early, but you should have no problem getting your Bachelors from NYU in 3 years if you take the classes you need and do not take excess classes that will not be needed for your major/minor/required.</p>

<p>thanks for all the info
Are you a current student or alumnus, just wondering?
So if I get the 32 credits w/my 8 AP's, does that mean I can switch out of GSP a year early?
I guess I can technically get my bachelors 3 years early this way, but I really want to take a lot of classes unrelated to my major/minor...I'd rather graduate in 4 years to be honest, I want to study abroad a lot and enjoy my college years.</p>

<p>Molly,</p>

<p>I am a current student. The AP credits will allow you to transfer out of GSP ONE SEMESTER early. Not two.</p>

<p>You do not have to pursue the early CAS graduation, it was just a thought.</p>

<p>that's too bad, I was hoping 32 credits would get me out a year early. I'm not sold on the GSP thing yet but the pamphlets put it in a sketchy light so I'm trying to find out more about it, since the more I find out the better it seems.</p>
