<p>93nykim,</p>
<p>You will not be given another chance in April. This is it. I have to stress, YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE GETTING IN THROUGH NYU LSP. You will become a part of CAS (or Gallatin, Steinhardt but no Stern and not sure about Tisch) if that is what you want after the first 2 years. I have read that some of the LSPers are generally a very competitive group as well.</p>
<p>Read my previous post under the thread “Is LSP included in the 30% acceptance rate for NYU?”</p>
<p>Evolving,</p>
<p>Thanks for you reply. I’ve read your previous post and it makes me feel better. Thank you. But I doubt I can afford to study abroad. But thanks anyways :D</p>
<p>oh goodness. I’m sorry you guys feel conflicted, I understand, but this means NYU wants you!! it’s better to know that than to know they rejected you. (which I’m terrified will be the case for me…but I guess I won’t know till April 1!) you still get to attend nyu and graduate from nyu and live in nyc (or any of those amazing locations)</p>
<p>you are SOOOO NOT failures. at all. don’t think that. CONGRATULATIONS!</p>
<p>I’m terrified now because my stats are iffy and now that I know I’m not offered LSP it’s either yes (miracle!!!) or no (end of the world.) haha ugh I wish April 1st would just come already!!</p>
<p>congrats everyone!! you got into NYU! Just because you got into a different program than your first choice doesn’t mean you are a failure or anything. You still got in!! :)</p>
<p>I was only offered London, Paris, Florence and Shanghai as options.
And I’m an international student who has lived in England, France and Italy so I was really looked forward to living in NY.
Can I request the NY campus?</p>
<p>alexis,</p>
<p>I would make the request as soon as possible. Present it the same way here that you have been to those other places and really want to come to NYC. (Maybe say something about why you may not feel ready for Shanghai, big leap with language or whatever).</p>
<p>You can ask nicely but assertively to be placed on the NYC waitlist if there are no immediate openings. You never know, some prefer to go to the places you do not and some offered NYC may not even accept NYU’s offer. So they may consider you, especially if they have a number of NYC LSP acceptances who do not accept them. Then you are bounced up over someone else who has yet to be accepted to NYU LSP.</p>
<p>Sorry, maybe they will pull from a LSP waitlist, but you should still be higher up than someone from a waitlist since you have been officially accepted into LSP.</p>
<p>As I said in a previous post, just make your request ASAP (and as persuasively as possible)!</p>
<p>lorrainedelis, I feel your pain! My stat’s seem to be LSP worthy, but I can’t seem to find someone who’s profile is exactly like mine. Which, go figure, we’re all individuals. lol</p>
<p>haha well good luck theresaax2 
I hope we get in! I wish we could just find out now!!</p>
<p>I know right, it’s killing me. haha What are your stats if you don’t mind me asking. Or if you want to pm me, that’s fine too.
Congrats to everyone who’s heard about LSP so far, good luck with your decision making!</p>
<p>hey i just was accepted too.</p>
<p>i was just wondering if y’all had to make a decision within 3 weeks of receiving your letter too. if so is it binding, because i still don’t know my financial aid situation, and i also haven’t heard back from some other schools. Any response would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>@tks1106 I was wondering that too and I called the school to find out and the girl I talked to said she was fairly sure it was non binding. If you go back a couple pages in the board posts a few people have said they responded and its non binding. But if you’re still nervous I would say call the school for yourself to double check. I’ll probably call one more time to be sure.</p>
<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I just got an email saying that I was accepted to LSP!
I’m super excited, but I’m wondering what this means about my chances at being accepted to other schools (namely Ivy Leagues). I studied abroad in high school and I intend to study linguistics, which is why I feel that I was offered a place in this school versus the general studies. I’ve been reading the forum and my GPA was higher than some of the other people’s who have been accepted. I was wondering if I was chosen for this program because it seemed to fit who I am from my application, or if others say, ‘I wasn’t good enough for the regular school so I was placed in here.’ Because if the latter is true, then should I give up hope of being accepted to an Ivy League (of course I should never give up yadda yadda blah blah blah)?</p>
<p>Thanks,
Lexie</p>
<p>So I got accepted, and now I’m worried about whether I’ll like it or not. Any comments?</p>
<p>hey guys</p>
<p>I got my LSP acceptance a week ago and honestly I jumped for joy because I didnt expect to get in NYU… </p>
<p>i have a question though. I was sent a reminder yesterday to accept or decline the offer online and the reminder said that London and Paris is full. But when i went to accept the offer today, i clicked on London just to check (since it was my first choice I was hoping that there might a place), and the acceptance went through. Nothing popped up to say ‘you know there aren’t any places left’.
If the London program was full the Albert Login program would tell me right away right?? I’m a bit worried that I messed the acceptance up…</p>
<p>By the way, this thread is extremely helpful!!</p>
<p>ILIK92,</p>
<p>If you got through with the London option clicked, it is possible they still have spots in London. Maybe some people withdrew from that location and freed up some spots. Best thing is to call the Admissions office to be sure at this point. Otherwise, you can assume you are in London.</p>
<p>Lucky you, if that turns out. There is something really wonderfully historical about London and villages in England. It will be a great year! Congrats!</p>
<p>Hi Mollly, I just got accepted to LSP and I was wondering what your experiences were. I am kind of confused about the whole idea. Is LSP kind of a lesser school at NYU where all the rejects are in? Do people look down at you because you aren’t in one of the main schools?</p>
<p>I just have been declined from CAS and got into LSP. Although I’m one of the few, what does this mean? I feel like this is a reject pile college. Is this program any less challenging than CAS? Because that’s what it feels like. If someone can please describe its rigor in comparison to CAS this would help a lot, thank youuu.</p>
<p>LSPers unite!</p>
<p>Important question: I’m only admitted to the LSP in Florence. I want to change to Paris. Is this possible?</p>
<p>counterpain, I think the spots are all filled for Paris (and London as well), from what a previous poster mentioned on this forum. However, the poster clicked on London and the choice appeared to have been accepted (though that may be a technological error and the school may correct that at a later point or maybe there was a spot opened up in London when she made her choice), despite the message about London and Paris having no more spots.</p>
<p>So, the point is you can try and see if your clicked choice will be accepted. If not, at least call the school and ask them to put you on a waitlist for Paris in case there are openings from students who change their mind.</p>
<p>butterfliess,
LSP acceptances seem to have credentials that are weaker in some areas compared to the CAS acceptances, maybe lower GPA but CAS level SAT/ ACT scores or vice versa.
However, don’t let this make you feel “less than.” There are different kinds of intelligence and I am glad that NYU has a wider range of criteria for students who can succeed at NYU.</p>
<p>You are stuck in a fixed core program (mimicking some of the CAS MAP core requirements but not identical) for the first two years, with limited ability to take electives. However, by third year, you are with other CAS students. The first two years will be better for you as a LSP student if you thrive in a smaller class setting providing more personal interactions with professors and peers. Also, keep in mind, the program can refine the person, but ultimately, it is the person who determines if and how success can be achieved. That is, the individual is greater than any one program. You will do well, whether you attend a community college, Harvard, NYU CAS, NYU LSP, NYU Gallatin, etc. if you have the drive, hardworking ethics, good study habits, etc. LSP students have been known to be achievers within NYU, e.g. one reportedly was President of his/her class at NYU. </p>
<p>So, congrats and take advantage of what NYU has to offer you through the LSP and then CAS later on.</p>
<p>I was just yesterday accepted to LSP after being denied to Wesleyan - at first I was really, really upset but after reading this thread I feel so much better! I applied to CAS as a Romance Languages Major.
Question though, I’m going this summer on a 10 month foreign exchange to Brazil through Rotary International. I applied to colleges at the same time as applying to this, knowing that a few friends of mine have gone in a gap year and successfully deferred admission to their schools. I was wondering how much of a chance there is that NYU would be fine with this, and if so, how I’d go about it. I hope I didn’t get excited about my acceptance too early!</p>
<p>Alright, I’ve read multiple pages and responses on this thread as well as the FAQs on the LSP website. I still can’t help but feel confused and slightly offended by being referred to LSP. I fully comprehend that it is almost the same as CAS except for the first 2 years, but I hate the fact that I got put into a program that I didn’t even apply for in the first place. I almost feel like they should have just outright rejected me. </p>
<p>I’ve read that usually they will put students who are strong applicants except for maybe in one area in LSP. I mean my SAT score wasn’t exceptional, but it wasn’t too far below NYU average either (1330 Math and Verbal, 2000 overall). I have a 4.0 out of 4.0 GPA. I scored over 700 in all 3 SAT subject tests I took, one of the three was even an 800. Not to mention, I’ve scored 5’s on all 5 of the AP tests I’ve taken so far and I’m also an IB diploma student. I feel like my ECs were strong, being an All State Band member, an All State Swimmer, a member of NHS and more.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m not here to blow my own horn. I don’t want to come off as cocky either, but I just don’t like all the negative stigma and ambiguity that comes with LSP. From what I’ve read, in articles posted on NYU’s Daily News Paper Washington Square News and NYUlocal.com, there are students who, even currently enrolled in the program, are confused about exactly what LSP is and how they got there. In the nyulocal.com article, it even says that LSP admittance stats are not included in the University’s overall admittance stats. It’s like NYU has something to hide when it comes to LSP.</p>
<p>I will say that there are some things that I like about LSP. A major draw is the smaller class sizes. I love discussion based learning, so that is the biggest selling point for me. I’m not sure if that will be a big enough draw for me to actually say yes to a program that no one can really explain clearly though.</p>

<p>Anyway…all this is just coming from me, a high school senior who’s still thoroughly confused about LSP. It’s nice to see that there are others in my situation as well. I guess I’ll never really know what it is unless I take a chance and try it. I’m not sure if I’m willing to take that risk though.</p>
