<p>@mojo111: that is correct. if you read the letter your D received, it clearly says that they will not be offering admission to the school she applied to (in her case, CAS; in my D’s case, GLS). If your D does not respond to the LSP letter within 3 weeks, she also will not receive an admit to LSP – action is required so it is important to read the materials that you received.</p>
<p>Hey , I have a quick question.
Can we defer a year if we get into LSP in Paris?
Thanks for helping,</p>
<p>Hey NYU Applicants, </p>
<p>I am currently a freshman on the LSP Program and a member of the NYU Global Studies Student Council. I know how difficult and anxious the whole college application experience can be, and getting into LSP does complicate things for some. Therefore if you have any general questions, please do not hesitate in contacting me. I will be more than happy to respond where I can - although sometimes it may take a few days to reply.</p>
<p>@ walych629: I believe you can defer entry just as you could to any NYU school. However, it is at the discretion of the university whether they allow you to do so. It’s probably a case by case answer.</p>
<p>SweetBeatz1,Thanks
But I just saw sth in the forum, the NYU forum or, FAQ section for LSP, it says we can’t defer a year. Anyways, I will call them on Monday.
Thanks, I might have further questions later,hehe~</p>
<p>at what point do they tell you you are going to one of the alternate sites? is it in the initial acceptance notice??</p>
<p>hi molly
i have one question
i am from colombia and i received a letter saying that i was selected for the liberal studies program, however they dont specify if i was just offered admission to study abroad or if i could study at nyc.
do you know if they offer international students the chance to study at nyc?
thanks :)</p>
<p>@ helpme48: No it’s not in the initial acceptance letters. What happens is that you will get an e-mail 2-3 weeks before April 1 from NYU saying they want you to join the LSP program instead. They will ask you to respond to whether you want to attend NYC, London, Paris or Florence (some candidates don’t get all four cities). If you accept then NYU will send you an LSP acceptance letter.</p>
<p>Is there any chance that I may not be able to study in NYC because there is no space left?</p>
<p>okay so i read the entire thread! and im really excited to go to NYU! the only thing im worried about is I am more of a math person and did literature and history a few years back. will it be easy to mantain a 3.0 GPA? Also what is the annual cost of attending NYU? just want an approx. figure. Thanks</p>
<p>@ oneguy21: If you leave it too late to reply then yes there is a chance. Normally NYC and London are first to fill up, followed by both Paris and Florence. </p>
<p>@ Zoya1991: Well no matter if you do MAP or LSP there are a lot of writing classes you will have to do. It is the same for most colleges in America so NYU is not different from the rest of the pack. 3.0 is very easy to maintain given you work a bit and pay attention in class. It’s about what most people get ( somewhere between 3.0 and 3.4). Cost is $52000 a year and then probably another $6000 for personal expenses and books.</p>
<p>hey by any chance do u noe wat would be teh difference if i was accepted to CAS instead of LAS</p>
<p>I got admitted to LSP this year and I chose London. I really want to go to NYU but I’m worried about what happens if I don’t get 3.0 at the end of two years. Do you know the percentage of LSP students admitted to CAS (or whatever college they applied for) ? 80%? 95%? 99%?</p>
<p>It can’t be too hard to maintain a B average and I heard people at LSP tend to do fairly well, due to the smaller classrooms, etc.</p>
<p>Hey! I got into LSP too, is there any chance for me to switch during my sophomore year? Or maybe switch to stern on my 3rd year?</p>
<p>I got into LSP (my initial choice was journalism major in CAS). I have pretty decent grades; about 93 GPA, 1290 on SATs, 700 and 620 on my subjects… just wondering, does anyone know what the deal is with why you’re accepted into LSP as opposed to where you wanted to go to begin with? </p>
<p>I mean, I went to an info session where they touted how selective LSP is and whatnot, making it sound almost honors-like, but… why not just put you in CAS if they think you’re such a great student? I almost feel like it’s quite the opposite of an honors-type program. </p>
<p>I’m just confused as to how/why people get chosen. Any insight would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Hey anyone heading to Paris for LSP this year? Or has anyone been? Would love to know a little more about the whole experience, like the boarding, the classes, the food…</p>
<p>A couple of things I’ve heard:
One, if you are really “lopsided,” that is, if your scores and grades are strong on one side and weak on another.
Two, if you are undecided as to a major.
Three, yeah, they can talk it up all they want, but LSP collects their maybe choices.
It’s important that it is “maybe” not rejects, so yes, it is still an admission, it is still selective and all.</p>
<p>Yes, it is possible to switch from LSP sooner than your junior year, but it is fussy to do, so go ask about it in your first term to see what you’d need to do.
Yes, you can enter a college other than the one you applied to.
You are guaranteed entrance to your initial choice, there is no guarantee that the other choice will admit you.
But you can try, and I think a lot of people do this.
Again, go talk with the student advisors to get on track for it.</p>
<p>Hi-
I believe they ask incoming foreign students to attend the first year at an overseas campus, not NYC.
It should be in the materials they sent you, or you could email them and ask.
They are very good about getting back to you if you have any questions.</p>
