<p>What do you study?
Are you looked down on by the other students (for example in Stern)?
What are the classes?
How are the teachers?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Okay, darling, calm down. You're getting your abbreviations mixed and it's probably contributing to your lack of responses. What you're talking about is GSP (the General Studies Program) not CAS (College of Arts and Sciences). </p>
<p>Info on GSP ---->>>> <a href="http://gsp.nyu.edu/page/GSPhome%5B/url%5D">http://gsp.nyu.edu/page/GSPhome</a></p>
<p>Info on CAS (in case there's an off chance in hell that I'm wrong and you do fully mean the college of arts and sciences ) ----> <a href="http://cas.nyu.edu/page/ugHome%5B/url%5D">http://cas.nyu.edu/page/ugHome</a></p>
<p>Please, breathe. Your last couple of posts have been asking the same thing, and though there's nothing wrong with being either eager or anxious, there is such a thing as doing an independent search. </p>
<p>Best of luck.</p>
<p>Can you apply to GSP on the application?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>no (10 char)</p>
<p>No you can't. It seems like you want to apply to Stern, right? So on your application, you indicate that. My understanding is that if you don't necessarily have some of the stats required for the school but the admissions counsel really feels like you would add to the NYU campus (and they would get this feeling from your EC's, service work, essays and recommendations), then they can GSP you: put you in the General Studies Program for two years before you switch over to the school housing your intended major.</p>
<p>Take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, though, I'm not a current NYU student; in fact, I'll be applying with you this year (so fingers crossed for the both of us.) Everything I'm posting I've garnered from info sessions, NYU's website, and the fine folks on this board.</p>
<p>Ahh, sorry Lindsey, didn't mean to echo you there. We must have posted at the same time :D</p>
<p>Any input will be well appreciated, thanks!</p>

<p>Sorry you have a very very small chance for Stern and even for CAS your chances arent looking too good. If you really want to go, you might want to apply early anyway because you never know. Otherwise look into some lower ranked business schools like CUNY Baruch</p>
<p>At this point your app. fee would be little more than a donation to NYU.</p>
<p>how do you have projected 1st semester senior grades already? Regardless, NYU doesn't look at Senior level grades. For Stern the average SAT of your class is going to be above 1450ish for M/V, with a 1070 you have no shot, regardless of tennis skills. You will need to study your @$$ off for the next few months and get your SAT up to atleast a 2000/2400 1400/1600. The math on the SATs is at a 10th grade level, if you cant get above a 700 on math, you'd get destroyed at Stern anyways. </p>
<p>You're GPA is also low, and your EC's are good but not outstanding. </p>
<p>I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but I don't understand how people screw around in HS, and think they'll magically get into their dream school because they went to a "top public school." The fact you went to a top public school means you had a good education which means you should be doing BETTER on the SATs.</p>
<p>could I get in raising my SAT 100 pts in October, and applying to CAS ED?</p>
<p>btw I am hopefully playing tennis at NYU, their team is my #1 choice. I have been talking to the coach.</p>
<p>Honestly- I think that you definitely have a fair chance of getting in, especially if you will play tennis. As far as I know, all athletes submit applications through coaches, and their applications are read as athletes' apps.</p>
<p>We're a divison 3 school, I don't know why we'd be the number 1 tennis choice. Sometimes the coaches can get students into GSP, but NYU isn't going to let in a 1070. 1200 and if you apply to CAS you could possibly get GSP'ed.</p>
<p>Mistletoe we have conferred before and disagreed ( with respect noted ), however to give this student false hope of getting in might be a disservice</p>
<p>Well, for outstanding athletes they do sometimes lessen the requirements. I know of person with a 1050ish on his SATs who got into GSP because he was ranked like 1 in his state in wrestling. Likewise, in my class a few people with 1200-1300 got into GSP from Stern because of sports (I think stern only does GSP for sports recruits actually, in my class atleast). That being said, the sports accomplishments are generally greater than being a captain of a schools team. He did say he's in contact with the coach though, so if he can get his SAT up 150 points or so, the coach might be able to get him GSP'ed.</p>
<p>Don't underestimate his chances if he is contact with the tennis coach. NYU may be a DIII schoool, but recruiting is done just like anywhere else. Being good enough to play on a varsity team is still a huge advantage, and can get him in to the NYU school of his choice. Varsity athletes normally do not get GSPed unless they are really really borderline, they usually get put into the school they applied to.</p>
<p>Without the tennis, I agree, he has no shot.</p>
<p>That might be true in Nebraska but wake up skippy, this student is not going to NYU Stern unless he is visiting someone.</p>
<p>I am talking CAS...
CAS ED...</p>
<p>Ellock: Are you in college or high school? I don't think you understand how things work. Those who can play on a varsity sports team, whether it be for DI state school like Nebraska or a DIII private school like NYU, do in fact get an edge in admissions. Indeed, there are a ton of people, even at NYU who wouldn't have gotten in if it had not been for an athletic talent. </p>
<p>Does this mean an academic focused school like NYU is going to let in anyone with a pulse who can play a sport? Of course not. However, it does mean I wouldn't count out a person with decent stats, esp, if he is contact with the coach. A coach would never vouch for someone who otherwise has a zero chance of getting in. I also don't know any varsity team members at NYU in GSP (most I know are in CAS, and the others I know are in either Stern or Gallatin).</p>
<p>Sure, you might get in for tennis, if you're really good, but would you really want to go to a school that's at a higher academic level than your demonstrated ability?</p>
