<p>Please tell help me on the difference between those two.
Is it possible to be deferred from one school like... CAS and be sent to LSP or GSP?</p>
<p>LSP is a two year program that as of right now you cant directly apply to. After two years, you transfer into your school of choice (CAS, Tisch, ect…just not Stern). GSP is a four year program where you spend (I think) 2 years abroad. I dont know much about GSP, but Im in LSP. Basically, I didnt get into CAS, but they felt I would be a good match for NYU and so I was put in LSP. This happens for a few different reasons, and yes test scores and GPA factor into it, but its also demographics…Im a white female from NY, and they get a TON of white, female New Yorkers who want to go to NYU…they cant accept all of them, even if many are qualified.</p>
<p>They are the same thing- name change. Formerly GSP, now LSP. FRom their FB page:“This is the official page for alumni of the Liberal Studies Program (LS) at NYU, formerly known as the General Studies Program (GSP). Become a fan and reconnect with your fellow classmates!”</p>
<p>^There’s the global studies program which is referred to as gsp now.</p>
<p>Yes, I was referring to the Global Liberal Studies Program, not the former name of Liberal Studies Program.</p>
<p>I have two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If I apply early decision and get into GSP/LSP but not my school of choice (Gallatin), it becomes non binding right?</p></li>
<li><p>Will I still graduate in four years if I do it? I have no intention of spending six years getting my undergrad degree, even if I could afford it. I love NYU, not enough to spend $300,000 to go there for six years.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I don’t know the answer to question number 1, but you definitely would still graduate in 4 years. The two years in LSP/GSP would give you alot of the general req classes you need.</p>
