is gsp only an early decision thing?

<p>Does the gsp thing only apply to early decisions or to normal ones too?</p>

<p>to both.</p>

<p>i felt so sorry when i saw that noone has replied you! :(</p>

<p>Another post from the Admissions office on their bulletin board re: GSP possibility. Thought some of you might be interested. Good luck to all of you for those big envelopes you'll be looking for this week and next!</p>

<p>NYU received a record-breaking number of Early Decision applications this year, and many of those students who applied early applied to the College of Arts and Science (CAS).
We cannot obviously offer admission to all of our talented students, so the Admissions Committe determines if you meet the qualifications for CAS or for GSP (however only about 8% of students not offered admission into CAS are offered admission into GSP).
In answer to your concern about GSP being better or worse than getting admitted into your first choice division, there is no clear-cut answer for that revolves around your individual feelings. Ultimately, students who are admitted into GSP will complete their first two years in GSP liberal arts courses, and will then be guareenteed a transfer (if they maintain a 3.0 average) into their original division to which they applied for their remaining two years at NYU. Having that option is definitely a positive aspect of GSP!</p>

<p>Anybody wants to ask the average SAT, GPA, class rank of sterns on the sterns bulletin board, I forgot my password and dont feel like finding it lol</p>

<p>GSP is not only an early decision thing, its possible to get into GSP via RD as well. </p>

<p>However, ED seems to be much easier for getting into GSP than is RD....because GSP is relatively small and in RD, admissions is probably a lot more selective, which does not bode well for the lower part of the applicant pool trying to get into GSP.</p>

<p>Does anyone from sterns get deferred to GSP, my friend said it happened to a friend, but I thougtht it was impossible. Thanx</p>

<p>No, Matt, Stern applicants are no longer referred to GSP. Changes in the curriculum caused this change last year. And it's Stern, no <em>s</em> at the end. :)</p>
