<p>DS1 got into NYU Core. This is the first year a student could apply to Core, it was his second choice. After reading the article, I discussed Core with a senior in GLS. She will attend grad school at Kings College in England.</p>

<p>I asked her about the “Master Teachers” who teach in Core, who are not tenured profs at NYU. She said that they were great, because they are working professionals who also teach, and are able to bring their real world experience into the classroom. That was great news. Then she said that they were better than her NYU profs, which was not great news.</p>

<p>She said that Core is a GPA Booster because students get a lot more support and perform better in a small seminar style class. Perhaps there were other reasons she mentioned, but I can’t remember them.</p>

<p>She also said that there are pre meds and science majors in Core, which is hard for me to grasp, given the rigid course requirements.</p>

<p>Generally, I feel good about Core. However, the article is mind blowing for several reasons. In it, NYU more than lives up to its impecunious reputation. Perhaps not surprisingly, they are also gaming their stats. </p>

<p>If I understand CC etiquette properly, a post regarding the DS1’s NYU FA offer is the province of another thread. Suffice it to say that the offer is not generous.</p>

<p>Here’s a website for Core/LS students wishing to pursue the Pre-health (Pre-Med) track [NYU</a> > A & S > Liberal Studies Curriculum Guidelines for Pre-Health Students](<a href=“http://core.ls.nyu.edu/object/guidelinesprehealth]NYU”>http://core.ls.nyu.edu/object/guidelinesprehealth)</p>

<p>Seeking, feel free to PM me if you like. I’m a parent of a soon to be graduate, former LSP’er.</p>

343

<p>If you get LSP scholarship, then would u transition in CAS, do you still have that scholarship? Or is it taken away or the amount of money decreases? I wont be able to afford NYU if it does :/</p>

<p>I have accepted the offer for the Core Program in the London Campus. I have two questions:

  1. I am aware we are still in the Core Program when we return to the NY campus but are we enrolled in a college there such as CAS? Or do we transfer to CAS or any other college our junior year?
  2. What is the general total population of the NYU Campus in London, or at least the freshmen class there? </p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>^Cricket 123 answered you on your other thread
#2 is answered on the main page for the NYU London global academic center:</p>

<p>“350 per semester, including 100 freshman”</p>

346

<p>Did anyone else get an invitation for the receptions?</p>

<p>I’m confused about the ones for global academic centers. Do they really expect us to travel to these centers for a reception?!</p>

347

<p>Its an invitation, not a command performance. Some kids have parents overseas, etc.</p>

348

<p>@kayf,
I understand that it is just an invitation, I was just confused by the wording of the invitation.</p>

349

<p>Has anyone who accepted the NYU in London LSP offer gotten any new information through email about housing or other significant news besides the Weekend in the Square advert?</p>

<p>Hi, I was recently accepted into the Liberal Studies program after applying for the Film and Television Production program at Tisch. I’m thrilled but a little confused. How does the LSP differ for those going into film and television production? What are the reasons for being placed in LSP? What percentage were placed in LSP out of those accepted into tisch for film? Any experiences in the program on the track for film would be greatly appreciated, as it seems there are not many in my position.</p>

351

<p>Also, does the LSP hinder ones ability to graduate in four years with a film major? The website said something about needing to study during the summer. Could someone elaborate on this?</p>

352

<p>vdag94-
You might only have to do LSP for one year, then transfer to Tisch for your sophomore year. You can check with your admissions counselor.
The reasons for getting put in LSP aren’t crystal clear, but many people say it’s because an applicant was lacking in either test scores or GPA. However, I don’t know if this is true as a lot of people who are at or above NYU’s averages have been admitted to LSP. If you talked about being an independent thinker or wanting a global education in your essays, that may have led to your being placed in LSP.
I’d e-mail your admissions counselor with questions you have about how LSP would affect your film/television production classes/major.</p>

353

<p>If I apply ED1 CAS, can I still get into the LSP program?</p>

354

<p>I found a really good thread about pros and cons for LSP
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/612275-lsp-pros-cons-lets-weigh-em.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/new-york-university/612275-lsp-pros-cons-lets-weigh-em.html&lt;/a&gt;
It’s a little old so some of the information is outdated but otherwise, it’s helpful.</p>

355

<p>^ There’s no longer an NYU Admissions Bulletin Board nor is there a list of majors that won’t be picked for LSP. </p>

<p>You might want to pick out the valid stuff and post it here. The thread is 3 years old.</p>

356

<p>I don’t think LSP has to do with your grades or scores. I think it has to do with what you said in your essays about what you wanted to gain from NYU. For example, I want to be an attorney so I mentioned that a lot… & also mentioned I was unsure of the best major for me. From what I read, LSP is writing intensive which would be good for me considering my chosen career path.</p>

<p>Hopefully this helps explain some of the questions. Helped me a lot!</p>

358

<p>Some LSP students were notified ahead of the regular decision date and were allowed to choose a campus, and others were notified on that date and were not allowed to choose a campus. Maybe that says something about why someone was placed in LSP.</p>

359

<p>What do you mean, @erin94?</p>

360

<p>Some LSP students were not notified early and did not get to choose a campus. Maybe that says something about how much NYU wants a particular student.</p>
