NYU Liberal Studies Program

<p>I'm an NYU LSP freshman - feel free to PM me with any questions if you want - about the curriculum, professors, students, campus, NYU in general, anything...i'll try to answer them :) I remember when I was in your shoes last year, so nervous.</p>

<p>Hey... Yeah I got the same-- Accepted into LSP instead of CAS.
I was reading that there are some majors that are impossible (as in you cannopt meet the requirements) to complete if you go LSP.
Anyone know what majors these are?</p>

<p>i also just got in. whats the word on double majoring?</p>

<p>lt.milo- I'm wondering the same thing. If I don't get in to my top choice, my parents and I have agreed that (after visiting a few schools), NYU will probably be it. But I want to double major and do pre-law, so if anyone could answer that question for me as well, I'd appreciate it.</p>

<p>Has anyone been accepted to CAS initially for Pre-Med instead of LSP. Because it seems that most people that apply for Pre-Med get LSP instead...</p>

<p>Hey. I just got an email from NYU 2 weeks ago offering me LSP at London, Florence or Paris. when I went on the FAQs link, i found that they accept like 10% of their applicants into this program. even i applied to the CAS for economics, but i got this...I spoke to my friends brother who went to florence and he absolutely loved it!</p>

<p>hey everyone, i saw from another thread that stern applicants can't do LSP? is that true? (I applied to stern rd)</p>

<p>@ lax</p>

<p>NYU</a> > A & S > Frequently Asked Questions</p>

<p>it doesn't say explicitly on there. but honestly? i feel like if the applicant didn't make Stern, they would just outright reject them, because Stern is so competitive. but that's just my opinion, i don't know that for fact. all of the LSPers i've met have all been for the other schools, not Stern.</p>

<p>They've stopped putting Stern kids in LSP as of this year I believe. For Tisch, only film students are put in LSP, though only for a year. I'm not sure about the other schools, but LSP is largely CAS applicants and I've also seen a few Gallatin LSPers</p>

<p>Any Steinhardt LSPers?</p>

<p>@aparis</p>

<p>are you asking if there's any on this board, or if they exist in general?</p>

<p>cause i've met three women who successfully transferred into Steinhardt for media from LSP.</p>

<p>Well I was asking if they exist in general :) (I thought LSP was predominantly for people who got rejected from CAS...I guess its for everyone too!)
Did these women transfer in their sophmore year?</p>

<p>i think they transferred after their four semesters.</p>

<p>I don't believe they are taking Steinhardt applicants anymore and placing them in LSP.</p>

<p>From the NYU Admissions Bulletin Board:
"We select about 10% of the applicants to New York University for this program. We select students for Liberal Studies that have not been offered admission to their first choice school (predominantly due to our highly selective admissions process), but whom we believe to be excellent matches for NYU. They are typically liberal arts-minded, academically competitive, and independent thinkers. While the large majority of students offered admission to Liberal Studies have initially applied to the College of Arts and Science, we also select a few students from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study and the film program within the Tisch School of the Arts."</p>

<p>One would normally transfer into CAS, Gallatin or Tisch after the sophomore year. If you have AP/college credit, that may be a different story and you should talk to an advisor.</p>

<p>If you want to transfer to a school you didn't initially apply to:</p>

<p>"Liberal Studies students are certainly able to apply to internally transfer after two years to a school other than that to which they initially applied. However, we cannot guarantee to accommodate each of these requests; it is based on academic merit and space availability in the program to which they would like to transfer."</p>

<p>It seems like most of the LSP-ers got offer to international sites (London, Paris, Florence) for the freshmen year?</p>

<p>I got these three offers and i decided to go to London. Where is everyone planning to go?</p>

<p>If you're international, they'll only offer you the international sites.</p>

<p>I picked London as well. :)</p>

<p>They allowed me to choose between NYC and the international sites.
I decide to stay in New york for my freshman year.</p>

<p>I got the same mail from NYU but I'm kind of worried about the courses that I will take, the cultural and social foundation, I don't think its easy for me, because I am not from a English-speaking country... Even I took IB courses, but I am still worried... Any one who had finish their freshman year in London can give me any information about the courses there? Will it be very hard to achieve the 3.0 GPA? Anything will be appreciated~ Thank you guys~~</p>

<p>3.0 is not a hard GPA to maintain at all.</p>

<p>Unless you are severely not motivated, don't study, don't go to class...etc etc.</p>

<p>If you put your mind to it and make the necessary effort, 3.0 is attainable.</p>

<p>3.0 = B average.</p>

<p>Making it to that program means you're a pretty high caliber student that they just can't accept outright.</p>

<p>In another thread, I posted about LSP notification. When do they stop giving those out?</p>
