Can you be considered for GSP if you applied to Steinhardt?

<p>Just wondering.. thanks!</p>

<p>I believe so, but it's more likely for CAS applicants to be GSP'd. I myself applied to Steinhardt as well and am waiting to hear back.</p>

<p>No, GSP is reserved for mainly CAS, considering it is a subdivision of CAS, and then Tisch for film studies. They stopped admitting Stern students into GSP this year. Actually, there might be a film studies major in Steinhardt, but that would be the only major they would place in GSP. Gallatin is very rare, but possible.</p>

<p>Where did you hear this about no more Stern GSP?</p>

<p>it is on the NYU website, in the admissions forums posted by NYU staff. sorry if i shattered any dreams here =(</p>

<p>"Starting this year, we will no longer refer Stern applicants to the General Studies program."
"The vast majority of students referred to GSP are College of Arts and Science applicants. Each year, we do refer a small number of Gallatin and Tisch film majors."</p>

<p>straight from the admissions officer's mouth. or post rather. the whole reason GSP is reserved for CAS is because it is a liberal arts program, and this curriculum doesn't really fit in with any of the other schools. so OP no, GSP is not an option for steinhardt applicants.</p>

<p>:/ alright. Steinhardt is known to be a little easier on admissions though right?</p>

<p>i have absolutely no idea. i would assume it's just as competitive as any other school at NYU, with maybe the exception of Stern. what's your intended major? stats?</p>

<p>Well I actually wanted to apply to cas at first but then i was told i had absolutely not chance at all so I should apply to steinhardt because they care more about the portfolio and put less weight on grades and test scores. so i decided to take that route.. im just not sure i made the right decision because no im wondering if it will be even more selective etc etc</p>

<p>i would do studio art at steinhardt</p>

<p>haha, well, that was a lot more than expected.
don't regret anything, it gets you nowhere. i mean, i kick myself everyday in the butt for not applying ED, but hey, there's nothing i can do about it now.
and who is this "someone" who told you your chances were better in steinhardt rather than CAS? you should apply where you want to study, and i suggest next time research the school more extensively so you don't run into problems like this i.e. finding out steinhardt doesn't GSP</p>

<p>all you can do now is hope for the best, and if you don't get in, there is always transfer.</p>

<p>and i really think NYU as a whole is a highly selective university. one school isn't labeled "the dumb" school or "the easy" school. they are all very difficult to be accepted into and lie on the same advanced academic level.</p>

<p>ah crap, so that means I can stop checking my mail everyday for GSP now? I applied as a nutritional science major to steinhardt (even though it sounds more like a CAS major)</p>

<p>again, GSP is mainly for CAS students. on rare occasions, Gallatin and only the FILM STUDIES tisch students. NO stern, NO steinhardt, NO social work etc.</p>

<p>eskimo, since your portfolio is a big part of your application, and I don't think CAS allows them...applying to Steinhardt was the right choice for you. I wouldn't second guess it. SOme kids who have gotten their GSP letters have UW GPA's of 3.8, so you can't assume that GSP was your only shot at NYU, with your EC's and creative portfolio, I think Steinhardt was the right route for you (what major you looking at?)</p>
