<p>one's closer to 1400 the other closer to 1300.....</p>
<p>.....we are such obsessed losers that we actually see a difference in 60 points on the SAT....:)</p>
<p>Stern and University of Texas at Austin's business school are ranked joint 5 on US News survey for the current year. But Stern is far more well known and prestigious than University of Texas at Austin's business school. US news is not the most reliable source.</p>
<p>actually im not sure about that. i live in texas and you live in new york, so both of us, obviously, hear more about the school we live closer to. i for one had never even heard of stern until i decided to applied to nyu and didnt realize it was prominent until around nov/dec 2005 (but then again im not applying to business school so i dont claim to know much about them)</p>
<p>hmmm interesting. I was really wondering at all that. thanks :) Perhaps both schools have specific strengths.....</p>
<p>likely. (although personally, although im from texas, if i was doing business, i would probably choose nyu even if only because of the location. i mean, right next to wall street? cmon :D but really, great internship opportunities, eh?)</p>
<p>that's what i was thinking. if i decided to do business. all though, with me being in the GSP and having originally applied to CAS, I'd need to start working towards it around now....</p>

<p>Is GSP a part of NYU's CAS or is it its own seperate school? If GSP is in fact a seperate school, it's not even mentioned on that site.</p>
<p>its part of the school of continuing professional studies, correct?</p>
<p>for the person who started this post. BE DAMN PROUD OF YOURSELF. really, you should be. im sure you already know this but less than 29% of 35k applicants get accepted. be not depressed you blessed child~ i only wish i got gsped.</p>
<p>it all depends on your standard and what your expectations are... GSP is great for some people, and disappointing for some</p>
<p>your safety school could be someone elses reach school, and they may glad to get in, but it deosnt necesarily mean you will be</p>
<p>i'm in gsp, and here is what i have to say about it:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>if you actually want to know your professor personally, this is the program for you. most classes in gsp have enrollment limited to under 30 students, allowing students to interact with their professors more. considering the massive student population at nyu, this is a great boon. i personally am very good friends with my writing professor, whom i wouldn't have had a chance to get to know if i was in a huge 200+ person lecture.</p></li>
<li><p>GSP is the second largest program at nyu, with my freshman class topping 800 students. you are not alone here, so don't think that you'll be isolated from other students. most people don't care that you're in GSP...the school that you're in is the last factor anyone would take into account when making friends.</p></li>
<li><p>you don't have to take "Writing the Essay." GSP students take a two semester program called Prose Composition, which is a hell of a lot more fun and engaging than "Writing the Essay." For those of you in the other schools, sorry. WtE sucks.</p></li>
<li><p>As a clarification, your GSP gpa does not carry over into the school that you are transfering into. BUT the courses that you take outside of GSP (electives, like Intro Psych or Calculus I) DO COUNT when you transfer. There is the incentive to work. </p></li>
<li><p>Professors are readily available to answer your concerns and queries. They also provide valuable life advice, like where the best sushi restaurants are. Oh, and there is a ski trip that GSP sponsors every year...FOR FREE. bus, lift ticket, rental, lessons, all free. </p></li>
<li><p>GSP students are by no means "dumb," "retarded," "idiotic," or "stupid." There are a lot of very intelligent people here. having said that, there are a fair share of people that don't belong here, and you will find that this is the case in any school at nyu, including stern, or any college in america for that matter. that just happens to be the way the cookie crumbles. i think i have met more people in stern that definitely did not deserve to be there than in any other school at nyu. not to bash or anything, but so many sternies do not have any business sense at all - but they have very good grades, which mean nothing in the long run.</p></li>
<li><p>Sure, GSP gets made fun of once in a while, but defintely not as much as stern. its just too easy. </p></li>
</ol>
<p>GSP is not without its own flaws. it can be difficult to register for courses outside of GSP your freshman year, but like anything at nyu, if you bother them enough, they'll just let you do it to get you off their backs.</p>
<p>I can admit that it was difficult choosing to attend GSP, but if the above statements make you tingle inside in the good way, the program may be right for you. i don't regret the decision at all, and remember, at the end of 4 years, everyone's degree will say the same thing: that you graduated from nyu, and nothing else.</p>
<p>gsp is perfect for you, because you see: dumb questions like yours, are typically asked by dumb people, like yourself. therefore, its perfect for you = )</p>
<p>whoa, it looks like we should all back off, there is a master of wit among us.</p>
<p>Just chiming in on the Stern vs Texas debate, Texas does not even come close to Stern in terms of reputation, at least on the international level. </p>
<p>I am an international student and most people in my country know Stern (but they don't know places like Williams or Dartmouth.), whereas not many know Texas. Of course, prestige isn't indicative of the school's academic quality...</p>
<p>okay i stand corrected =) as i said....i know very little about business schools....and id like to keep it that way! (my parents keep pushing me to go into business. no thank you, film for me please!)</p>
<p>hm....interesting. my friend was telling me that in some magazine, U of Texas was ranked #11ish on the World's top schools, NYU wasn't higher. </p>
<p>:) i'm still sold to NYU though.</p>
<p>the_nightboy...what are ur stats??</p>
<p>wait so grades dont count for transfering? it says on the gsp website, all grades WILL be noted on your nyu final trasncript...</p>
<p>they're actually very ambiguous about that. if you read carefully. you'll notice they don't say your "GPA". what they DO mean, however, is that those few elective classes taken at CAS while in GSP will be transferred. but then again, those electives won't be aplenty since GSP books us for all the required courses. if you look in all the other GSP threads, you'll also see that a certain GSP GPA is needed to be guarenteed to the school you originally applied to...</p>
<p>hmm yeah, this could be the deciding factor for me. i personally cant succeed unless i have an incentive to work hard ( maintaining a 3.0 isnt enough for me, since at the back of my mind ill know that once i get into CAS, none of that counts)</p>
