<p>I've had a sort of unique high school career from a care-free freshman year to one of the top students in my class in my last three years. I've taken 8 APs in my past 2 years to try to get into NYU by showing that I changed. My whole transformation was really credited to NYU because I wanted to go here so bad. I knew the path I was headed on was not going to get me there. So, here's where I need your help! I was accepted at: American U, Boston U (15k), U of Delaware, Fairfield, Fordham (10k), Loyola (Md.), Northeastern (25k), Villanova and Rutgers. I applied to Business schools every where except NYU, for obvious reasons. But, at NYU I plan to do Pre-Law/Economics and Mathematics. This way I'm hoping I can have a business career along with one as an attorney. I am so sketchy about this NYU GSP whole deal now, but there's really no turning back since I'm committed. I keep reading online that everyone at NYU views GSP as a backdoor acceptance and they are outcasts for being in the program. Basically, I just wanted to know, straight up, did I make the wrong decision? I chose NYU because I figured NYU is getting harder to get into every year so my degree from there 10 years down the road will pay off. But, maybe I was mistaken. I just was looking for someone from NYU to give it to me straight by basically telling me is GSP is going to inhibit me from my goals as compared to a CAS student. Or, is there no difference?
PLEASE ANYONE WHO CAN GIVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT .. PLEASE DO!!!</p>
<p>Are you worried about not being socially accepted because you are a GSP student? If so, there's no need for it. I have a friend who just finished her first year as a NYU-GSP student and she loved it there. According to her, she made lots of friends and nobody made her feel inferior to other NYU students just because she was a GSP admit. If you really like NYU, i think you should go for it =)</p>
<p>yeah it's definitely not a big deal at all. I heard somewhere that GSP is like the 2nd or 3rd biggest program so there's alot in your boat to avoid the social outcast thing. However, I would be more concerned about giving up what you originally wanted to do--business.</p>
<p>how about your going to a great school, you will graduate with a great education, and you'll have a great time while you're there. FOCUS! its all good.</p>
