<p>I'm a high school senior applicant who applied to the CAS and got put in GSP (no surprise considering my gpa). Anyway I heard from a friend (she's also a high school senior and got accepted to Tisch) that NYU has a cutoff SAT score, and that GSP students usually don't meet this score? I don't think this is true, but I figured I'd ask...I saw another post on this board where someone claimed the cutoff was 1350ish but I got 1390...is this cutoff score thing as bs as it sounds?</p>
<p>I really don't think that at a university such as NYU has cutoffs no matter what school it is. There are people with 2000+ who got deferred to GSP. The admissions at NYU especially this year is crazy so to my knowledge, they don't really have cutoffs</p>
<p>Thanks, I figured the cutoff thing sounded like bs. I got over 2100 and still got rejected from CAS. Don't think I'm going to NYU though, but I have to hear from other schools. The GSP thing sounds like high school for another 2 years (some will argue against that, but I've read the numerous things they've sent me and that's just what it sounds like).</p>
<p>Theres no cutoffs. Each applicant is evaluated on a whole list of different criteria. Some kids with high scores simply get declined from all of NYU, while some lucky kids with lower gpas get into GSP. It is hit or miss, depending on whether NYU feels you would be a good fit for the program.</p>
<p>Same thing happened to me. I got into GSP rather than CAS. I'm so disappointed, but I had an 1850 SAT score with a 4.0UW. -_- That SAT score just keeps biting me in the booty.</p>
<p>Are you going to NYU GSP next year nickel?
my parents really like the school, but me not so much, im a suburban sort of girl. I mean, i grew up on long island 40 mins away from the city so I go there all the time, but not sure if i want to live there
Plus I don't really like the sound of GSP...its better than rejection though. I have a 2150 SAT but my gpa is not high...but I go to a really good public school on LI and I took a lot of AP's so I was hoping it would make up for it. </p>
<p>I don't want high school for two more years</p>
<p>I took 14 APs. -_- I'm tenth in class of like 500. =/ I guess it's better than rejection, but I don't like the sound of GSP either. I'd rather go to USC, though. I've always liked USC over NYU and I guess I just have to wait and see if I get rejected from there or not. xD I don't mind large cities. I was born in Los Angeles and now I live in Dallas.</p>
<p>I don't think I will be doing GSP (applied to CAS as a Journalism major) but I'm probably the opposite. I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA but my SAT score was only about 2090. Unfortunately for me I scored terribly on the Math section, but got a 780 in the Writing. I wish they would consider that I'm a Journalism major with NO interest in Math - but GSP is better than rejection.</p>
<p>I scores a lot higher on my subject tests. A 610 in US History, 760 in Spanish, and 680 in Lit. For SAT I my scores were a 600 Math, 630 Reading, and 620 writing. I think I did kind of average. I don't think I'm really interested in this program, but it's an option. I'm just waiting to hear back from USC now.</p>
<p>i got a 2010, 1350. I got into CAS SAT IIs were 680 and 640. So haha no cutoff I assume.</p>
<p>my sat subject tests were 790 writing and 680 world history...I took 4 ap classes and got all 5's (but they don't see ap scores) and i'm taking 5 more this year...14 is a LOT nickel. The most I've heard anyone take is 11. good luck with USC btw.</p>
<p>Sounds like no one's really interested in GSP. We're all Generally Stupid People =) jk of course</p>
<p>aww c'mon guys.</p>
<p>i haer GSP is pretty awesome. </p>
<p>i mean, u get to actually talk and communicate with ur professors, which is very valuable cuz they could write you future recommendations for jobs/internships.</p>
<p>and its like... ur really fining tuning ur learning n stuff.
wat sucks is that u dont start ur major until ur jr. year. =(.</p>
<p>so i'm surprised i wasn't gsped.</p>
<p>gpa-3.3 downward trend (from 3.8 to a plummeting drop until 2.8)
sat-1880; 1300
act-30</p>
<p>thanks coolrena... you gave me hope</p>
<p>really? I hear GSP is pretty sucky (the generally sucky program lol) but thanks for the perspective coolrena.</p>
<p>The thing is - having your classes picked out for you sounds like high school. Plus the limited electives. And I don't do well in small classes, and I wanted to try the experience of a huge lecture class. I know that's the opposite of what most kids want. Plus you can't pick your major for two years, and I don't want a broad liberal arts education for 2 years straight...I figued in CAS I would take the required courses and then move on.
Plus, maybe it's just me, but the letter they sent home basically sounded like "Sorry, you're not good enough for our CAS but we still want your money, so it's GSP for you!"</p>
<p>I don't like the program either. I'd like to pick my own classes thank you very much. And I do badly in small classes. I'd rather be left alone. =/ </p>
<p>Thanks Molly, by the way. I know I'm not amazing compared to some of the other people on here, but I never felt I needed help. -_-</p>
<p>blah. Hate to tell ya Guys but to succeed with your jobs you're going to need to excel and do well in ALL SORTS of environments. large, small, crowded, desolate, etc. etc. Part of going to college is about working on your weaknesses ya know.</p>
<p>Yeah but we can still pick and choose. We don't have to go. ^_~</p>
<p>GSP required classes are much like the required classes in CAS.</p>
<p>You have to take 2 semesters of writing, a cultures class...etc either way.</p>
<p>If you dont want to take any required classes than CAS is not for you either. The fact is nearly all major schools in the US have required classes if you are in an "arts and sciences" school.</p>
<p>Sure, GSP has a few more required classes, but its not really a big deal.</p>
<p>The biggest problem with GSP is the lack of information they provide on the program and the negative spotlight they cast on it, by making it seem "shady."</p>
<p>Also, you can take a class for your major second semester of freshman year. You cannot formally declare your major until you get into CAS, but this really doesnt matter. You can still take CAS classes while in GSP which will be towards your major.</p>
<p>i suggest that you guys who so eloquently lambast GSP as for "generally Stupid People" attend an information session.. perhaps it will answer some of the questions or erase some of these fallacies that you seem to have..</p>
<p>i was a little skeptical of going to GSP.. but after hearing what the dean had to say...well... all i can say is.. IM SOLD :)</p>
<p>well OF COURSE the dean is going to make GSP sound the best as possible..duh he obviously wants you to attend there! He's not going to talk negative about the program</p>
