<p>While I applied to CAS, I was recently accepted into GSP. I am not completely bummed out (at least I did not get rejected and I don't exactly have stellar scores), but I just have a few inquiries about the program.</p>
<p>1) Do we take classes with other kids at NYU? Or is it just kids within the GSP. </p>
<p>2) Is it less likely that I will get financial aid?</p>
<p>3) Do Grad schools and prosprective employers look upon GSP students any differently from other NYU students? For example, who do they take, a 3.75 GPA student who started off as GSP or a 3.5-3.6 student who went right in? </p>
<p>4) Would I be better off enrolling at the honors program at another New York City School (the Jesuit one)?</p>
<p>5) Is it possible to excel and enter in my original school after only one year of GSP?</p>
<p>I'm not in GSP, but I have friends who are, and this is what I've seen:</p>
<p>1.) You have classes with GSP kids only (like Writing I instead of Writing the Essay), but other classes are taken with everyone else (languages classes, for example).</p>
<p>2.) I don't think so.</p>
<p>3.) This one is better answered by a GSP grad.</p>
<p>4.) Not sure what you mean by "the Jesuit one," but an NYU diploma is worth a lot, and it's the same diploma as everyone else's.</p>
<p>5.) Not sure...</p>
<p>Okay, I'm not much help, but it's a springboard for future answers. :)</p>
<p>1) You only have classes with other students within the first year, but I have a friend who in the second semester of her freshman year of GSP decided to just go ahead and register for a CAS politics class- her advisor didn't recommend doing so because he told her to finish all of her GSP requirments first, but she went ahead and did it anyway, so it's definitely allowed.</p>
<p>2) Not at all.</p>
<p>3) It depends on the student. You have a GPA for your first 2 years and GSP and then an entirely seperate one for your junior/senior year in CAS/any other school you're transferring into. I believe they would weigh the junior year GPA more than whether or not you went to GSP.</p>
<p>4) It depends on the reputation of the Jesuit school that you may want to go to. The name NYU rings a bell in NYC, but it isn't everything.</p>
<p>5) As far as I know, it's close to impossible to enter your original school (granted it's CAS, I'm not sure about the requirments of other schools) unless you have a 4/5 on AP Bio, Physics, or Chem (it may have to be 2 of them, not sure), and a 4/5 on AP Calculus (again, not positive), and if you decide to take summer and winter courses. It's difficult, because the requirements are panned out for both freshman and sophomore years.</p>
<p>By the way, I got into the honors program at Fordham (which is Jesuit). </p>
<p>I went to the GSP info session and I came out thinking it may be a blessing in disguise. I'll get all the benefits of NYU--world class professors, NYU resources, NYC, study abroad opportunities, and name recognition--, while also being in a program that will provide me with a good, well-rounded curriculum and classes that usually do not exceed 25.</p>
<p>Two more questions: Do GSP students have trouble graduating after four years?</p>
<p>and </p>
<p>As a GSP student, is it difficult to Double Major or get a Major and a Minor?</p>
<p>On the campus, is there a separation between GSP students and regular students? </p>
<p>and when you graduate... you can just say I went to NYU... blahblahblah its not like I did GSP at NYU.... so when you apply for a job wouldn't the people never no you went through GSP.
i just don't understand, you are still in the university, attending the university and taking classes... just a different program. you still say you go to the school.... whats so bad about it?</p>
<p>if the jesuit school you're talking about is Fordham, i've heard that the academics are really rigorous there... so if you're looking to do a lot of work, that would probably be the choice for you</p>
