<p>Your chances are excellent. You will definitely be accepted into CAS. Also, just so you know, LSP does not mean your stats were not as good as CAS; it is just means that admissions think you are a good fit for LSP. Also, NYU only looks at one teacher letter of rec. They accept two, but they only look at one unless if it is between you and someone else, which is unlikely with your stats.</p>

<p>Thank you for your optimism. Oh, but i’ve decided to pick no to the option of being placed into any other program as i can’t imagine having to do required coursed for such a long time in the case of LSP. Would the fact that i am an international student decrease my chances though? Also what do you think my chances are at Tufts, U Michigan, Boston University and the UCs -Berkeley, LA, San Diego. </p>

<p>Thanks again for your reply</p>
