<p>I linked to the '08 pre-med page by mistake. Here's the correct link for '09ers (class of 2013): </p>
<p>Also for those of you entering in '09, make sure you look at the core requirements and program page, as the courses have changed slightly for the '09ers.</p>
<p>Program</a> Requirements</p>
<p>thanks londonb!
does anyone know if we get premed advisiors?</p>
<p>hahhah thanks for that
you made me feel better. i agree,. i totally had a rollercoaster of emotions...it was like </p>
<p>"wait i got rejected from cas...."
"huh? lbs"
":( what?!"</p>
<p>question: how do you get out of lsp in three semesters?</p>
<p>is it simply just, take more classes and cram it all in?
sorry if its a stupid question</p>
<p>so i was doing some reserach...and this is what i found</p>
<p>Reasons NOT to Attend NYU:
1. Looking for a neatly packaged community? Too bad.
2. Not a typical campus environment; there are 600 NYU-owned buildings and only 200 of them are joined by other NYU buildings.
3. Want a remote setting? NYU is not for you.
Reasons NOT to participate in LSP:
4. This is not a typical general education program.
5. Classes are not taught in large settings.
6. Like lectured learning? Leave.
7. Everyone participates in LSP, circle-seating.
8. No classes are taught by graduate assistants.
9. There are no "bubble tests" (scantrons). Very writing-intensive.
10. NYU promotes active dynamic learners, so if you think you can sit in the back of a 300-student lecture hall and fall asleep, you can't do that.</p>
<p>Q&A:
1. Paris--what is the faculty like? What is living like?
Faculty members of Paris, London, and Florence from LSP are actually FROM New York. In Paris, students do not share rooms. Very French-cultured. Have own kitchenettes and bathrooms.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Pre-health (Pre-med) LSP students finish their courses/requirements for the program by junior year, same time as CAS students.</p></li>
<li><p>Possible to transfer to a different school than your original choice. (For example, you originally wanted to go to CAS, but then you change your mind and want to go to Steinhardt. This is possible... except for Stern. 90% Stern will reject you.)</p></li>
<li><p>Limited seats in London/Paris/Florence LSP; ED students, however, get first pick.</p></li>
<li><p>International study is HIGHLY recommended for all students. But if you know you want to study abroad, you have to plan immediately and tell your advisor.</p></li>
<li><p>Criteria of LSP selection; admission process looks at you holistically. They thought you would thrive in this specific environment rather than a lecture hall.</p></li>
<li><p>Guaranteed housing for undergrads, all four years.</p></li>
<li><p>Teachers CARE about you, most professors who do recommendation letters ARE LSP professors.</p></li>
<li><p>Grades transfer over; wasn't always the case.</p></li>
<li><p>Why can't you directly apply to LSP? They actually don't know. It may change in the future years.</p></li>
<li><p>CAS has 1300 students. LSP has 1000.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>IMPORTANT NOTE: Office of Admissions WILL NOT send you financial aid info if you have not RSVP'd your seat online. You must call them and they will give you an extension.</p>
<p>So this would indicate that the sooner you RSVP'd, the better your FA package? I RSVP'd the day I got the letter...</p>

Mostly true, but there are some lecture classes, but those are the LSP/CAS classes. I know students in lecture classes with 300 kids who are in LSP, and they do skip and fall asleep.</p>
<p>So i got into LSP and everyone else I know either got into Stern or Tisch and I've been pretty embarrassed and have to mutter "LSP" every time someone asks me what college I've gotten accepted into. </p>
<p>It's kind of a back-handed compliment, I suppose. I mean, it's hard not to take into account all of the people saying that it's "NYU for 2nd rate students," etc. And the manner that they choose classes for me makes me feel like it's kind of going to be high school (I think this has been reiterated).</p>
<p>I was just at the open house for LSP, and they said they accepted somewhere around 6% of rejected students into the program. I don't think it's a joke, sophiegoesto. Plus, pushing aside all "man, this is such a great program!" comments that I heard while I was there, I overheard an admissions officer for LSP telling a student that he usually admitted kids who he thought were extremely qualified to attend NYU but maybe had lower SAT scores or some other weakness. Either way, I'm proud to have gotten in.</p>
<p>@sophie</p>
<p>this has been reiterated as well, but i'm going to say it again. you're an NYUer. you're a Bobcat. a Violet. no one really cares after the first day what school you're in. i don't go around asking people i meet what school they're in. maybe their major. but then i don't give it a second thought. </p>
<p>if someone thought you were a "second-rate" NYUer, would you want to hang around them anyway? they're probably just closed-minded elitists, which you'll find in any school, Stern or Tisch or SCPS be damned. </p>
<p>please don't be embarrassed. you beat the odds getting into NYU. over 37k people applied for the seats in the class of 2013. there are people across the country who would do anything to be in the seat you're in. </p>
<p>besides, in may 2013, when you're graduating and throwing the purple mortarboard in the air, no one is going to care that you were in LSP.</p>
<p>Re: the 300 student classes:They really aren't LSP/CAS classes, they're CAS classes in which LSP students may register while they are still in the LSP program. Correct? </p>
<p>Also all LSP classes are not set up with circular seating. Generally only the Writing classes. </p>
<p>"No classes are taught by graduate students" - No disrespect to graduate students, as I have been taught by some excellent ones, but why would this be a negative? </p>
<p>Definitely agree with "very writing-intensive." Lots of papers, but varies with the professor.</p>
<p>From my understanding, freshmen in the LSP do not receive merit scholarships, at what time are we eligible for these?</p>
<p>Almost nobody receives merit scholarships from NYU anyway. Most scholarship is based on a combination of need/merit. The only pure merit scholarships are the ones offered through the special scholars programs that a very very small percentage of students are invited to.</p>
<p>I got rejected from CAS but was accepted into LSP via email. I’ve heard back from all my colleges and it’s between NYU (but I didn’t hear back for financial aid) and GW. I want to study journalism, anthropology, and maybe international relations. If I go to NYU, can I transfer into Steinhardt to pursue communications but study anthropology as well?</p>
<p>hi im sorry if my question has already been answered or sounds stupid, but do LSP students graduate with the same degree as CAS students (ie a B.A?)</p>
<p>yes. you transfer into an NYU school and you receive either a B.A or a B.S</p>
<p>thanks, missamericanpie. also, do you know the difference between ‘global liberal studies’ and just liberal studies. and wat is an A.A degree?</p>
<p>AA = associates degree, a two year degree.</p>
<p>Liberal Studies - NYU places selected applicants into this after rejecting you from your intended school. Transfer into your intended school or apply to another after 1-2 years - [The</a> Liberal Studies Program](<a href=“http://ls.nyu.edu/page/home]The”>http://ls.nyu.edu/page/home) -</p>
<p>Global Liberal Studies - a four year program you apply to -
[Global</a> Liberal Studies](<a href=“http://www.gls.nyu.edu/page/home]Global”>http://www.gls.nyu.edu/page/home)</p>
<p>FA package arrived and included a “LSP Scholarship.” NYU FA website states:</p>
<p>"Typically you will continue to receive for subsequent academic years the amount of scholarship you received for your first year, as long as the following criteria are met: </p>
<p>You are a full-time student (at least 12 points).
You applied for financial aid on time.
You are meeting the Satisfactory Academic Progress standards.
You have approximately the same amount of financial need that you had in prior years."</p>
<p>Does anyone know whether the LSP Scholarship is merit-based or need-based, and assuming the criteria is met, can this be renewed for all four years (i.e. after transfer into CAS as a junior), or is it only for the two years of LSP?</p>
<p>It’s a combination of need and merit. Once you’ve completed LSP, it’ll probably turn into a CAS scholarship of the same amount.</p>
