<p>if not accepted u should get gsped</p>

<p>What's gsped?</p>

<p>You think it's easier to get into than Stern's Business, right?</p>

4

<p>any more guesses? thanks!</p>

5

<p>much easier than stern</p>

<p>gsp is what people get if they dont get acepted or rejected or waitlisted</p>

<p>basically
if ur a solid applicant (but there are like a million solid other applicants.)
some get referreed to gsp</p>

<p>its a 2 yeqar program with small classes.</p>

<p>You basically finish off core requirements
adn if u maintain a 3.0 or higher for both years
you transfer to the original school that u applied to.</p>

<p>Its kinda like a Junior college with great teachers...and then you transfer out 2 years later</p>

<p>really? that's interesting, I've never heard of it.</p>

<p>I'll look more into it for sure.</p>

<p>think I got a decent chance for at least GSP?</p>
