<p>Good? Bad? Pros? Con? Direct admission to any NYU College after 2 years?</p>
<p>Pretty easy to get into CAS after 2 years. I mean a lot of people ***** on LSP students but in the end they end up with a CAS degree so it’s all good. If you wanna transfer out of LSP to any other schools other than CAS (Stern, tisch) chances are slim.</p>
<p>pixieestick5, It depends on your MAJOR. What is your major?</p>
<p>If it is science related, avoid coming into NYU through LSP.</p>
<p>I’m a Bio major having a huge problem with finishing up with course requirements.</p>
<p>^
What about something like psychology? I heard finishing those course requirements through or after LSP isn’t too much of a problem…</p>
<p>I have heard that Econ majors may have issues after trasnferring from LSP though so major is important to consider.</p>
<p>Nah econ and psych majors won’t have much problems. I just answered this other person’s question about finishing an econ major in 4 years after 2 years in LSP. It’s not going to be a problem at all. I don’t know much about the science majors, you should probably listen to Stefan.</p>
<p>It is possible to go from LSP to econ major, but it is really up to the individual. Pay careful attention to math pre-reqs and sequential nature of program.</p>
<p>May I ask a semi-relevant question?
I got into the LSP London campus, but as it is May, do you think they would let me transfer from the London campus to the NYC campus in LSP? What are the chances? I really wanted to study in NYC freshman year. I really do not mind LSP at all.</p>
<p>Hmm that’s a question i’ve never heard of. I think you should try calling directly. Personally, i don’t think it’ll be that hard since you are not transferring between programs and all. But it might be difficult to register for school dorms. Call em up</p>
<p>I made a phone call and it seems the Wash. Square campus is full and is still waiting for students to decline admission. There is also a waiting list f students to study in the NY campus as well. wow.</p>
<p>CastoStern - So you graduated after 6 years…? I thought people graduated in 4 years! </p>
<p>What if I wanted to do Psych & Business at Gallatin? Would that be difficult? </p>
<p>Someone mentioned transferring into Stern… I think I remember the NYU website clearly saying that we couldn’t transfer into Stern (at least it said we could only transfer into Tisch, CAS, Gallatin… and never mentioned Stern). Is this because it’s a difficult program and they don’t want to advertise the fact that you CAN transfer into Stern?</p>
<p>Casto probably graduated in four. Just worded a little weirdly.</p>
<p>Yea sorry lol i meant 4 in total, first 2 years in LSP. To be honest i have no clue about how Gallatin works. And for transferring from LSP to Stern i’m pretty sure it’s possible, just harder than from CAS to Stern.</p>
<p>Thought I’d bump this to reflect a conversation I had tonight with the mom of a kid who just finished his freshman year at LSP. After just casually asking “How are things at NYU?” I got an earful–the son is very unhappy because he found the curriculum to be quite unchallenging. He’s trying to transfer within NYU, but it doesn’t look like he will be allowed to. (And I guess by the time he fully appreciated his situation, it was too late to apply to transfer to another school.) I realize a single anecdote doesn’t mean a whole lot, but I thought it might be of interest and spur some who are considering LSP to fully investigate the course rigor.</p>
<p>But @MommaJ, LSP students transfer within NYU after their sophomore year.
Did this son take any outside courses/electives?
Are you sure he isn’t in the GLS major program?</p>

<p>All I know is that he’s isn’t happy with the rigor of the required LSP curriculum and doesn’t want to continue for his sophomore year, so was looking for an escape hatch. Sounds like he didn’t really understand what he was getting into, which is his responsibility, but a shame. Very smart kid–I don’t really understand how he landed in LSP in the first place, but then no one seems to understand the process. I also don’t understand why NYU feels it has to have this transitional program, when other schools don’t. It seems so shrouded in mystery.</p>
<p>Are you guranteed a transfer to CAS after sophomore year, or do you mean it’s “pretty easy” as in we have to apply again? Also, what do you think of a journalism major for ISP?</p>
<p>Others schools do have a similar program. Boston University have a two-year CGS program, which is almost exactly the same thing as LSP.</p>
<p>MommaJ, the reason why NYU has this LSP program is to generate money ( i believe). I don’t remember the exact stats so i’m pulling this from the back of my head, but i believe 40-50% of freshman undergrads are LSP students. You are ALMOST guaranteed a transfer to CAS ( minimum 3.4 GPA req).</p>
<p>There are at least 1,000 LSP freshmen this year so it is a very large program…</p>
<p>Perhaps other schools within NYU cannot manage so many freshmen and sophomores until they specialize which tends to happen in junior year… I think that’s one of the purposes of LSP. To wait until students specialize so there are smaller classes which can take in those extra LSP kids.</p>
<p>I don’t understand the point of this program! I know what I want to do, and I don’t understand why I was placed in this program when it is being described to be for kids who are “confused.” My test scores and GPA are high and correlate well enough, and I go to a competitive private school. Does anyone have any advice? I can’t afford to spend two years coasting through college. Do students generally find this program challenging or not?</p>
