<p>I applied to CAS but was accepted into the Core Program. I've done research so I technically know what it is, but does anyone have any personal experience with it? Do (did) you like it?</p>
<p>Hannahabbe, did u check off any place on the app that you would be interested in another program or were you just placed in the core program?</p>
<p>I just reviewed my common app, and yes, I did. I applied to CAS but said I would like to be considered for another option if my first didn’t work out. I’m guessing this is a “you’re good enough to be here, just not good enough for CAS” situation??</p>
<p>I’m also very interested.
I applied for Tisch School of the Arts Film, but was put into the Liberal Arts program. I am definitely grateful that I got into NYU. It’s just that it’s sort of unfortunate that I couldn’t get into the intended major as a freshmen.</p>
<p>The online info sounds great, but I want to know how easy it is to transfer to my intended major after 2 years.</p>
<p>I am not an LSP student, but my roommate is. I believe LSP is a wonderful program because all you do is get your requirements done in a smaller class setting. You also have some time to decide on what you want to major in. After your 2 years you transfer into to your intended major-No transfer application, you just jump in.</p>
<p>Also, for LSP, I think it’s 3 required courses for your first 2 semesters, then one more for your second two, then you go to your college that you originally applied to.</p>
<p>Why is it an exception for Film and TV applicants that we only have to take a year of Liberal Arts courses? I just thought it was interesting.</p>
<p>I believe it’s shorter for Tisch students because they have more classes to take for their majors than major in other schools.</p>
<p>i thought LSP is required for all students for first two years (except tisch maybe) and then, in your junior year you study your intended major</p>
<p>I got into LSP as well!! I’m actually really excited, since it’s the program I applied to in the first place. I have a couple questions that I’ve been having trouble finding on their website:
1–Can you double major?
2–Do they give AP/IB credit?</p>
<p>What if you don’t exactly know what you want to study yet? </p>
<p>I have also gotten into LSP when I originally applied for CAS. But I know that the core programs are REQUIRED and are based on the liberal studies. </p>
<p>But let’s say I wanted to do something in the medical/business/economics/etc intended major. Would taking this core program be a waste of time and money? Because the 2 years of the core programs are mandatory, and if I wanted to go into Economics for example, there are math requirements to make. </p>
<p>I’m sorry for the jumbled up question, basically I’m just worried about how rigid LSP is on LIBERAL studies only. Thank you!</p>
<p>I’m worried as well. When I was doing my initial research before applying to NYU, I understood the core as something all freshman go through. I was accepted into it and am now starting to get nervous. I am already certain about my major and fully intend to go to medical school. Will the core be more “harmful” in this case? I read that the core is somewhat of a placement that students who didn’t fit the bill for other NYU colleges get…</p>
<p>I want to study journalism, so I guess LSP is something I would have to anyways. Right?</p>
<p>No, they are two different things. </p>
