<p>Can anyone from ED I and ED II who had their "Program" change before decisions came out from their intended major to "Liberal Studies Core" please post whether or not you got into your intended school (CAS, Stern, etc) or if you were admitted to LSP? My daughter's application status for RD changed from her intended major in CAS to Liberal Studies, so we want to know if that pretty much means she's been rejected to CAS and put into LSP. Her stats are pretty high (she just got in to UCLA), and although NYU is her number 1 school ( and number 2 and number 3, etc) she may not go if she's put into LSP. Thanks!</p>
<p>The evidence from ED II showed that people who saw the change all got in.</p>

<p>Again, if you get LSPed, it basically means you take a few different classes from CAS students, and then if you maintain a 2.0 gpa, you basically transfer to CAS in third year, and graduate with a CAS degree.</p>
<p>Thanks, I’ve read that, I just want to know if anyone who had the change got into their intended school instead of being admitted to LSP. I personally don’t think LSP is worth the money.</p>
<p>But doesn’t it also mean that you don’t get any electives in the first two years, and that it’s harder to complete the major in CAS, because you have much less time to do so. Also, especially if you go abroad junior year doesn’t that also give you less time to establish a relationship with a department, faculty members in your dept. etc. If the FA status theory proves true, I’ll be glad D got in, but the LSP switch makes me very worried about the quality of education she’ll get, and whether it will be worth the tuition, perhaps especially in light if all the recent revelations, questions re NYU finances,</p>
<p>Also does anyone know how often people in LSP get their first choice campus?</p>
<p>@Patti17 I completely agree. That’s why we’re asking the question. My daughter only wants to go to NYU, but she probably won’t go if she’s in LSP. Her academics got her into UCLA, so I’m not sure how they figure she can’t do CAS.</p>
<p>Xomom, NYU is becoming more selective every year and is the most applied to private university in the US, with CAS being the most applied to college. There may be many qualified candidates who apply to NYU, but NYU simply does not have enough room to accept them.</p>
<p>Additionally, being in LSP isn’t as disadvantageous as you think. Remember, NYU has quite a large list of required gen Ed classes, called ‘the map program’. During your time in LSP you fulfill your MAP requirements. </p>
<p>A major is only about… 8 to 10 classes at NYU. After one finishes LSP, they still have 16 classes to take in whatever college they continue on into. At 4 classes per semester, that’s plenty of time to finish a major and a minor pretty easily.</p>
<p>xomom11,</p>
<p>While I understand your concern in seeing a potential switch from CAS to LSP, I encourage you to do a bit more research into the program. If you haven’t already, call and speak to the dean and ask to be put in touch with some of the LSP students and instructors. My son applied directly to LSP (Paris) and was thrilled to be accepted. NYU is clearly his dream school and LSP is exactly what he’s looking for. The small class size and classical education approach is unique but not for everyone. It’s particularly suited for students interested in a global perspective and the language immersion opportunity is wonderful. He has the academic record to have been admitted into any of the NYU colleges, but LSP is perfect for him.</p>
<p>Xomom, I tend to agree with you. Its not only that LSP classes are a little different that the normal CAS core classes, but that the other students are different. It will not be as rigorous. That being said, if a student really wants to go to NYU, LPS may work. I think it also depends on the major. A journalism major requires a second major. An economics major requires math courses and has sequential courses. One can say the student should look at the major requirements, but bear in mind the student may want to change major. If the parents can accept the student taking more than 4 years to graduate and/or being restricted in choice of major, it may work.</p>
<p>Xomom, so did your daughter end up getting into NYU/LSP?</p>
