<p>OK I know that the WHOLE point of LSP is to get you into another NYU school, but if for some weird reason I wanted to go to another university after 2 years, is this possible. Does LSP for 2 years in ANY way limit my options to transfer after sophomore year?</p>
<p>**I was thinking it would because the LSP required courses wouldn't allow me to take the courses required for the major at the transfer university. (not enough time/space)</p>
<p>This is the exact same question I have been asking and no one can come up with a definite answer. I’m an LSPer too and I’ve sent my deposit in so I guess regardless I’ve made the commitmet, but if I don’t like it I would like to know I have other options, right?</p>
<p>I would really appreciate it if someone could give us some insight on this, please?</p>
<p>there are no “required” courses to transfer anywhere, at least the colleges i looked at. </p>
<p>i refused to take a foreign language, math or science at my other college. i knew that those would bring my GPA down and i wanted it as high as possible. it was the 300 level politics course that brought my GPA down to a 3.4. </p>
<p>since what you’re doing at LSP is basically a liberal arts core, you should be able to transfer out. it’s the sheer number of credits (preferably at least one full year at NYU) that will hold you back from transferring.</p>
<p>Again this is all hypothetical (like if I really dislike NYU or it becomes too expensive). But are you saying I can’t apply as a fall transfer next year? I would finish my freshman year with 32 credits right? I thought most schools require around 20-24 to transfer or do you actually have to complete 20-24 to even be considered? eeehhh I’m still confused. lol</p>
<p>you CAN but you’ll be much less competitive than sophomores applying for their junior year. you’ll be at a disadvantage. they’ll have more internships, more ECs, better recommendations and they might even have a better GPA. why take the chance?</p>
<p>This is what they told me when i emailed them.</p>
<p>“Liberal Studies credits are fully transferable to other accredited universities. I cannot speak to whether or not your grade point average from LS will transfer (i doubt it will), but your courses will certainly count toward a degree at another college.”</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>when i came here to NYU, my GPA reset to zero, which can be a blessing and curse. (that damn 300-level politics course i got an A+ in means nothing, but so does that C- in pre-calc.)</p>
<p>Ok that’s what I wanted to know. thanks that at least puts me at ease to know I can transfer if I have to.</p>
<p>LSP is a really awesome school. Your first year you feel a little restricted because your classes are basically chosen for you (besides 1 elective) but TRUST ME for anyone going into CAS or Gallatin this school is absolutely unparalleled. You get the ‘great books’ curriculum with classes that are capped at 20 (unlike CAS classes which have 40+). LSP feels more like a tight knit liberal arts education which I absolutely love. I’ve learned so much more then I could have ever imagined even though the curriculum ****ed me off at first. Give it some time and you will see very quickly how people in LSP are some of the happiest NYU-ers around!</p>
<p>Feel free to message me with anymore questions!</p>
<p>ps i just said “p i s s e d” not some dirty curse word lol</p>
<p>sickofschool, what did you mean “i doubt the GPA will transfer?”</p>
<p>some colleges “clear” your GPA when you transfer. </p>
<p>on my transcript, for example, every class i took at CUNY all just say “PASS” “PASS” “PASS” on them. my gpa was as if i was a freshman when i arrived here.</p>
<p>so the only classes that have letter grades on my transcript are the classes i took here at NYU.</p>
<p>so a 3.7 at NYU might not equal 3.7 at your next university. it may, but it may not.</p>
<p>But as far as getting admitted, the transfer college looks at your NYU GPA. obviously, I don’t even know why I asked this.</p>
