<p>Anyone applying or attending NYU-
If you don't get invited into the General Studies Program and your "stats" (even though there really is no true way of comparing them besides your GPA, APs and SATs) seem to be "above" the students accepted into GSP, but not incredibly beyond and above would you think that it's a good indicator you've been accepted into CAS? How does NYU choose students for GSP and still just flat out reject them from CAS without inviting them into GSP even if their stats seeeeeeeeem good enough? </p>
<p>This is a really vague and stupid question but if you have any input, it'd be appreciated =)</p>
<p>Yeah. I had 1280 SAT, no SAT II, and a pretty decent GPA. I'm not in top 10% at my school, but I am a swimmer and I'm in the recruit system. I got accepted through GSP. There's really no surefire way of telling weither or not you're getting accepted or rejected until you get the letter. All kinds of kids get rejected from all kinds of schools. But there are all kinds of kids that get accepted to all kinds of schools. Good luck.</p>

<p>-Not by any means. People with stats beter than the GSP average get rejected from CAS all the time. </p>

<p>-A very small percentage of applicants are even considered for GSP, let alone invited to it (its not a means by which one should ever plan on getting into NYU). Kids who got into GSP would ordinarily have been rejected on stats alone. People usually referred to GSP have something going for them-athletic recruit, legacy, urm, talented artist/musician, etc. or just some real academic potential that NYU sees in them.</p>
