<p>I got a letter from NYU saying that I got into the liberal studies program. Are the students that get into this program included in NYU's roughly 30% admission rate? Are is it it's own thing? Basically, if I choose to go into this program, can I call myself a full fledged NYU student?
Also, can you still do dual majors? And is there a specific list of majors that LSP students can choose from, or can they do any major in the college of arts and sciences?</p>

<p>I’ve been wondering this too…</p>
<p>Zoldberg,</p>
<p>I can only respond to a couple of your questions. </p>
<p>1) You are a bona fide NYU student when you go into the LSP. Just remember NYU is not an IVY school but still quite competitive, ranking #33 in the whole nation (according to USA News & Report college rankings). It has been pointed out that students accepted to LSP may be missing some thing in their profile, say a lower than the average CAS GPA, or lower SAT Is, ACTs, etc. You have to go with a core curriculum of required courses in the first 2 years, meaning fewer (but not 0) electives. You will be in smaller classes (much better for more intimate relations, class interaction and professor acknowledgement) and some of you actually get to have the study abroad experience early. Then by the third year, you join the rest of NYU, in the school you want to go to, except Stern (and Tisch or certain depts in Tisch?). Students from the LSP have commented here they feel no different from the rest of the student body at NYU.</p>
<p>So, I say, congratulations for getting into a very fine and exciting school (if you can afford it). Stroke yourself because you have done well. Don’t second guess this admission. You are part of the NYU student body, a selective group of students. </p>
<p>Again, Congrats LSP’ers. You have done a fine job. There are many who are envious of your status.</p>
<p>2) I think if you plan well and depending on the majors, it is possible to double major as a LSP student. Of course, it helps if you start off with accepted AP or other college credits. This is certainly something you want to discuss with an advisor asap. </p>
<p>3) By the way, I have not heard anything about LSP specific majors. Ultimately you can major in anything that is offered at the school you will move into after the first two years.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, now I’m pretty excited! 2015 Woot woot!</p>
