<p>What is the average stats for GSP and is it really worth attending?
Is it even worth applying to? </p>
<p>Please explain this program for me.</p>
<p>I don’t know anything about stats, but I’m under the impression that GSP students graduate from the school of their choice with the major they want? You’d still be a fully-fledged NYU student.</p>
<p>There are plenty of threads around here discussing LSP in great detail. </p>
<p>But most simply, LSP is not a program you can apply to. The admissions committee refers a select group of candidates to LSP. </p>
<p>It is an intensive two year liberal arts foundational core which, upon successful completion, results in an a guaranteed transfer into the school originally applied to (CAS, Tisch, Steinhardt, Gallatin). It is considered more restrictive than a typical CAS program because of the required classes during freshman and sophomore year. However, all other NYU students still have to take MAP courses, so essentially, LSP is a program where you get almost all of your requirements out of the way so when you finish it, you can focus solely on your major. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a stigma with being in LSP because other students might think you don’t deserve to be there. This is completely false though. LSP students are every bit as smart as their counterparts in other schools, but maybe had one lacking aspect of their applications, like either GPA or SAT score (but usually not both). That said, LSP students are in every way full NYU students.</p>
<p>It’s hard to say if it’s worth attending or not because everyone has different circumstances. I would say it is, but for a lot of people the answer might be no.</p>
