<p>hey guys; i got an invitation to attend gsp program a few weeks back, and was wondering something. is there any number or something that i and/or my counselor can call to talk to the admissions office about why i was referred...haha, i know i may sound ungrateful and all, but reading from previous posts about the people invited, im surprised</p>
<p>my stats are a 4.0 GPA in a compeitive massachusetts school ( ~94-96 gpa, or top 10%) and i have taken 10 ap classes. lastly, my sat scores are a 1360 (740 math, 620 verbal) and overall a 2060... according to college board, i am above average for sat scores, and other people in my school have gotten in with lower grades, so possibly it was some other factor they didnt like in me; one in which id really like to find out...</p>
<p>sorry, i misread; anyways, does anyone else think that these are at the extreme top end of gsp/ very close to CAS... or am i being incredibly cocky lol ?</p>
<p>Carmello - The best way to get information about your application decision is to speak to those individuals who actually reviewed your application, as opposed to other applicants or current NYU students. Please be in contact with the NYU Admissions Committee and a counselor will be happy to speak with you. The general information number is 212/998-4500.</p>
<p>"while this letter is not a formal offer of admission to the GSP, you do meet the requirements for admission to the program. If you would like to receive an official offer of admission to GSP, you must reply to this letter electronically, at <a href="http://www.blahblahblah.com%5B/url%5D">www.blahblahblah.com</a></p>
<p>please note that enrollment in GSP is limited. To ensure that your space is available, you must reply within two weeks of the date of this letter. When you receive your formal offer of admission, on or about April 1st, you will have until May 1st to decide if you wish to accept the offer of admission and confirm your place in the entering class by paying a tuition deposit."</p>
<p>so are they telling me that I have to make a decision within 2 weeks, or i may not get a spot? if so, that is ridiculous; the notification date of other colleges is early april.... or are they saying I need to reply to this letter electronically within 2 weeks to get my official offer, and that i have until may 1st from then?</p>
<p>Please let me reiterate that if you have questions about your offer to participate in the General Studies Program at NYU the best resource to getting your questions answered is speaking directly to a member of the NYU Admissions Committee. The letter that you have received should certainly have contact information to facilitate reaching the Admissions Office or you can refer to my previous post on this topic for the general information number.</p>
<p>Carmello- they are telling you to respond to hold the spot- then you will get your official letter April 1- then you have until May 1 to secure the spot in the incoming class for the gsp</p>
<p>haha well i called. they dont tell you anything at all; basically they read of a generic "we are competitive this year, and can not accept all the qualified students that we want to, you should be proud of ur accomplishment etc. " i really wish they would be up front about whether it was my gpa , sat scores or what that was not high enough for CAS... the guy said that i shuld be proud of my extracurric activites etc, so im assuming SAT was too low for CAS</p>
<p>oh well though, gsp sounds alright for nexst year</p>
<p>Carmello - Our Admissions Committee provides individualized information and application reviews for each of our applicants. The information you have received is not "generic," rather it is the truth. NYU received over 35,000 applications this year for an entering freshmen class of approximately 3,500 students. Unfortuntaely, we do not have space for every academically talented applicant that we review. More importantly, I recognize how frustrating it is for students who are looking for the ONE thing that prevented them from being offered admission (ie. test scores, GPA, quality of course work) but unfortunately this is not how our Committee conducts our reviews. Students are not offered admission or declined a spot based on just one component of their application. Rather we review an applicant's entire record and look at their collective strength. Again, I know that you want to know "what they didn't like in me." This is simply not how our Committee conducts an evaluation of an applicant.</p>
<p>When a person finishes two years of gsp and transfers to their choice of college...does that person have to spend another four years in that college or can they finish what they intended to finish in two years?</p>
