<p>So I have become obsessed with NYU but unfortunately I don't think I can get into NYU CAS. I was thinking of applying to NYU GSP but don't know if it's possible to apply directly to GSP. </p>
<p>An insight on my stats and such:</p>
<p>So is it possible for a student to apply directly to GSP? Also if anyone goes, or knows someone who goes to GSP...how is it?</p>
<p>No, you can't. There really isn't a logic to applying straight towards GSP anyway. If NYU doesn't think you're ready for CAS then they'll just put you in GSP. </p>
<p>But uhh your scores are really look and look very solid for CAS. I don't understand why you're worrying.</p>
<p>they WERE planning to do it for next year, but I think they changed their minds last minute, so no direct LSP (or LSD, its code name during development) for next fall.</p>

<p>Im worrying because of my GPA. As you saw it's pretty low for NYU standards. Then again, I dont know if the stats on college board are for Stern, CAS, etc. </p>
<p>Does anyone have specific standards and requirements for each individual school within NYU.</p>
<p>NYU's admissions website has average stats somewhere, but if I were you, I wouldn't read a whole lot into them. Every year in the spring, there's at least one thread that's something like, "I HAD GREAT STATS WHY DIDN'T I GET IN THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!!" NYU is looking for more than just numbers, so it's really hard to predict who will or won't get in. One thing's for certain - not even a 2400 SAT score will guarentee you admission. Since you're concerned about your stats, make sure to play up your other important experiences and accomplishments on your application.</p>
<p>You can't apply directly to gsp.
My gpa and SAT scores were higher than yours, and I took more AP classes, and I got gsp'd. That doesn't automatically mean you will, but I'm just trying to give you an idea of what to expect.</p>
<p>I had pretty poor stats- 1900/3.3UW/2APs, no 3 or 4 or 5s</p>
<p>but I got in to steinhardt.... after being wait listed though</p>
<p>don't assume from my post that steinhardt is easier though... I didn't include my subjective stats, but it really is about being a good fit</p>

Out of curiosity, do you go to NYU? Also, what would you say are there other primary focuses? I have pretty good ECs and a pretty kick a** essay as well. BTW if you or anyone else whose in NYU doesn't mind reading my essay and giving me your BRUTAL feedback, I would really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Oh, lol. I didn't realize that your GPA was low. Well, I think you will probably make GSP and a small maybe for CAS. I've noticed that most GSP students are those who have relatively high SAT scores but lower GPAs. </p>
<p>You can send me your essay my way if you'd like. I'm going to NYU in the fall and I think that my essay was what actually got me in.</p>

<p>I graduated from NYU CAS in 2007. I'm in medical school now.</p>
<p>NYU tries to admit all sorts of people - that's why numbers aren't enough. Having good essays and ECs is important.</p>
<p>I say you have a great shot at CAS. You need to first have confidence in yourself, and hope for the best.</p>
