<p>Can I appeal my decision if I got into GSP so I can get into CAS as a freshmen? Is GSP for the kids that werent really good enough or something? My stats are better than my friend and she got into CAS.</p>
<p>I'm wondering about this too. </p>
<p>While this is mean-hearted, I am going to issue a pre-emptive FU to anyone who tells me that I should be complacent.</p>
<p>on the forum I asked about this, and the administrator said that GSP is your only choice</p>
<p>here's a pragmatic answer...</p>
<p>GSP is for students whom NYU deems as fit for the university and would greatly benefit from a structured and mentored program for the first 2 years of collegiate life.. :)</p>
<p>frankly..that appeals to me..</p>
<p>now if we could only get passed their crappy aid...... hihi</p>
<p>Pretty much what Binghamton looks like. <a href="http://www.ploung.com/IMG_2400.JPG%5B/url%5D">http://www.ploung.com/IMG_2400.JPG</a></p>
<p>Not the school itself just the outside town. I thought it was 18th century Russia when I passed by. It was around 2pm in the afternoon and not even one person on the streets. Good school though, not so much the area.</p>
<p>^...what? binghamton? nyu? gsp?</p>

<p>Me: I am beginning to think I am stupid. I got into GSP at BOTH Boston University and NYU! LOL I applied to CAS for both. I'm thinking Boston though, I know a couple people who did the GSP at Boston their first two years and they excelled.</p>
<p>It's possible to appeal to nyu, right?
Is there any exact deadline for it?</p>
<p>lol what would you do? write them a letter?</p>
<p>haha my bf wants to appeal to NYU....and go to GSP...</p>
<p>If you got into GSP, they expect that you can do the work. You should speak to an admissions counselor. General Studies Program is for students who well quite do not get the ideology of the school they are applying for. For example, you want to go into business and talks about business. Okay, but you applied to CAS because it is considered easier to get in. However, your business ideology does not fit the ideas of an liberal arts education in CAS. If your scores are up to their standards and you sound like a great guy, you will be accepted. However, you probably placed in general studies to give you more time to think whether the NYU school or NYU as whole really fits you. If it does, you stay. Otherwise you get an associate degree and transfer out. By the way, that example above is just an example not referring to anyone specifically.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure you can't appeal your way in. I don't understand how appealing would even work with a private school...they don't have to take you seriously at all. I mean, if you were placed into gsp, it's for a reason, they actually hand pick the kids. I actually talked to an admissions counselor about why I got placed into gsp instead of CAS, and she said that the fact I'm undecided and have no clue what I want to do probably factored a lot into it. Because if I went into CAS, I would really have no clue what I'm doing lol. I'm not planning on declaring a major until at least a year anyway. </p>
<p>oh and binghamtonrocks...aren't you transferring to another school after a year anyhow? I mean I guess it's your choice but I wish I had GT to that school soooo bad...you're really lucky :) another great thing about gsp is that the professors get to know you really well so I'll have a good reccommendation.</p>
<p>Well that post was before I found out about the GT. But still, being in CAS would give me a lot more flexibility when it comes to fulfilling the required courses (even though there are barely any). And also, I may stay at NYU if I'm doing extremely well socially and academically.</p>
