Here's what the GSP package/letter looks like...:)

Colleges & Universities A-Z New York University

<p>there is no "Congratulations" message on anywhere on the outside of the package. It does however read " First Class" in medium-large size letters on the front, bottom right hand corner. The actual letter/package is white, with a purple border. There is a small transparent window on the top left corner on the front. It's about as big as the regular manila letter/packages...<a href="http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/426188/2/Office_Supplies.jpg%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/426188/2/Office_Supplies.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>When you open it, the first item is the letter, the main part goes like this "...We have just completed our review of your application and I must inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to the College of Arts and Science. However, I am delighted to tell you that your application has been selected for the General Studies Program (GSP). I congratulate you on your selection!..." The next item is a catalog that describes what the GSP is. Its about the size of the informational catalogs that you received previously. The next item is a 2 page flyer with a FAQ on the program.</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you who got accepted to your intended program or GSP!</p>

<p>NYU CLASS OF 2010!!!!!</p>

<p>For early decision applicants, does getting into GSP instead of CAS mean that the binding contract is off? Because technically applicants signed to attend NYU's CAS and nothing else...right??</p>

3

<p>It does in fact mean that the contract is off. You are not bound to GSP.</p>

4

<p>To clarify: it is still a binding agreement. When you meet for your interview you are given a chance to decline the offer... but after that, it is exactly like any other acceptance.</p>

5

<p>Are you sure? Why is it a binding agreement? You didn't get accepted into the program you apply for. Besides, going to Florence vs. studying at NYC for your first year are two completely different environment.</p>

<p>Btw, do you mean interview before the decision or after? What if you never had an interview?</p>

<p>GoBlue, To clarify em0008's clarification (which wasn't very clear ;)), when you are offered GSP as an E.D. applicant, you have the choice whether or not to accept. However, once you DO accept, it is a binding agreement and you must withdraw all other applications just like all other E.D. acceptees.</p>
