<p>If you have been accepted into the NYU LSP program:</p>
<p>What were your stats? How did your app look? This could give us a better idea of our chances if we haven't gotten a letter yet. So if anyone is willing to share it'd be great. :)</p>

<p>havent heard anything… i would so prefer CAS to LSP that i’m having a big internal complex over whether or not i want a letter. I like this thread, sharing is caring people</p>
<p>I was accepted into NYU LSP. I have a 4.0 GPA, but the SAT scores I sent were average. (1800 total) (620 math level I subject test, 600 U.S. History subject test). I also sent in a composite score of a 30 on the ACT, but they may or may not have used that in the decision since it was fairly late. My app was pretty well rounded. I play sports and do quite a bit of volunteer work.</p>
<p>Anything in specific you were looking for?</p>
<p>I have not received a letter yet. But, my scores were a lot lower than yours (1710 total, 24 ACT)… bad i know. But, I make it up with my excellent resume with politics (politics major). So either I’m rejected, or they really love what I’ve done with my time outside of class lol.</p>
<p>From what I’ve heard, they usually give LSP offers to students who seem fit in many categories, but maybe lacking in one (i.e. standardized test scores).</p>
<p>@holtzal</p>
<p>Idk cause my friend had a 22 ACT last year and got accepted ED to CAS. Lol.</p>
<p>Thanks holtz</p>
<p>holtzal, 1800 is way below average for NYU. Goddamn LSP students bringing our stats down.</p>
<p>It is not only LSP people… Lol. People with a 1600 and 22 on the ACT have gotten in before thru ED and Reg.</p>
<p>If that’s true, that’s pretty terrible. Maybe there were other factors that justified their admittance. Tisch maybe?</p>
<p>Edit:
Oh wait, you said your friend with a 22 ACT got accepted ED to CAS. LOL. Why?</p>
<p>Well NYU looks for all factors… I guess they didnt see the 22 as a reason to give up on an applicant who excelled in soooo many other ways. NYU is so strange with their choosings lol.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Those must’ve been some impressive things. Like what?</p>
<p>Not sure. I’ll have to ask.
Truly, I feel that a low test score shows nothing of ones intelligence.</p>
<p>But, I assume great essay and strong academic classes during high school.</p>
<p>I think test scores are generally not reliable indicators of overall intelligence either, but my surprise over a 22 ACT scorer being accepted ED to NYU CAS is expressed not over the fact that this may deem lower than average intelligence for this school, but rather over the simple fact that this is way below the school’s average.</p>
<p>I would assume that most admitted students had good/great essays and took strong academic classes. My guess is either the 22 ACT scorer’s essay(s) and/or classes were much better than “great” and/or “strong”, and/or their ECs were phenomenal.</p>
<p>Yeah, Idk. but 2% of the student body have less than or equal to a 23 on the ACT… granted some may be in Tisch.</p>
<p>since standardized test scores seem to be a factor in lsping someone… what if I had the opposite? low gpa, and decent sat’s? but very low sat 2’s
2130 super score
620 us 670 math2
88.6uw 92.7w
a lot of clubs/music/debate</p>
<p>would this mean I’d either be lsped or rejected? rather than accepted to cas ed?</p>
<p>hmm… depends on ur essay I would say. And that is a good sat and now BAD satII’s lol. just normal.</p>
<p>but it’ll depend on ur essay and rec probably.</p>
<p>I was placed in liberal studies 2 years ago with a 2150 and 3.6ish uw and like a ton of ap’s…and my SAT was slightly higher than my boyfriend who’s in Stern lol (but he had much better grades and EC’s).</p>
<p>idk, it seems almost like decisions are random but they must make sense in Admissions somehow. They take a lot of factors into account, not just gpa or sat/act. </p>
<p>for example, I went to a HS with about 120 students, and at least 80 applied to NYU, and at least 30 of those were accepted - many of us were placed in lsp as well (for ED and RD). I think the fact that they didn’t want 30 kids from 1 HS all headed into cas definitely had something to do with it.</p>
<p>My boyfriend went to a larger HS in the South where not as many people apply to private Northern colleges like nyu…so it was less competitive in that sense. Plus he’s like a perfect fit for Stern and had business internships, etc.</p>
