<p>=] so i got into the lsp program also..</p>
<p>some questions:</p>
<p>-honestly, is it basically just two years of high school?
-do you have a major when you go into lsp?
-what are the benefits for lsp?
-how hard is it to fulfill the minimum requirements in order to finsih lsp in junior year?
-can i finish lsp early?
-will i graduate the same time as everyone else?</p>
<p>Every single one of the questions you asked was answered in my 1st post. To be perfectly blunt, if you're too lazy to read them and expected everyone to repeat the answers for you....well, good luck once you get to college and have to read 500 pages of Dante in a week.</p>
<p>If you're still confused after you read them or need something clarified, feel feel to ask.</p>
<p>heh sorry
i acutally did read all the other posts.</p>
<p>just a bit flustered cuz this was a bit of a curveball. </p>
<p>but heres a more specific question:</p>
<p>as a LSP student [wanting to major in journalism/political sci] would i take the same courses as these majors in CAS + the LSP courses,</p>
<p>or just the LSP courses and then take the journalism/polisci cources in junior year</p>
<p>ok sorry - well Journalism/Politics are both popular majors in CAS/LSP. As a freshman, you would only take LSP courses unless you really want to have a CAS class for some specific reason, but most people don't. The Soph year you will have a mixture of LSP and CAS classes, so you can explore your major more.</p>
<p>Is the English Program in NYU any good? I'm planning to major in that and a foreign language for law school. Can you double major and have a minor or would that be to stressful?</p>
<p>Also regarding AP credit, I was looking on the site and it says;</p>
<p>"NYU accepts AP credit if you receive a 4 or 5 on the AP test and accepts credit from most colleges if you receive a grade of B or better. Although advanced standing credits may be useful towards the overall 128 credits needed for the NYU degree, they generally do not satisfy specific NYU and Liberal Studies requirements. EXCEPTION: A 4 or 5 on the AP test for Calculus, Statistics, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry will meet the general math and science requirements. Students should also note that the several undergraduate schools of NYU have different policies on whether AP or Advanced Standing credit will be accepted in fulfillment of school and/or major requirements. "</p>
<p>I got a 5 in AP Bio and a 5 in AP English Language
does that exempt me from any of the required classes in LSP? which equals transferring out earlier?</p>
<p>Yea I had a similar question to supahcow ^^ I'm thinking taking Calc AB would exempt me from calc, but if i took the English Lit and Macro and English Language, will those exempt me from some courses as well?</p>
<p>btw, thanks for helping all of us out, your info has been really helpful =)</p>
<p>I have question too,</p>
<p>I'm taking AP Lit and Comp. Would that get me out of Writing the Essay or any other requirements?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Ninjabean - Nope, double-major + minor isn't too stressful, but it depends on how smart you are and what the majors are. 2 liberal arts majors shouldn't be hard to do. </p>
<p>supahcow - Nope you still have to take the required classes, but AP's will give you credits (otherwise you'd have to do more electives) so you can transfer out 1 semester earlier. I'm finishing LSP in 3 semesters instead of 4 since I took 9 AP's. 2 won't get you out 1 semester early, but I think you might be exempt from the Science requirement from your Bio grade.</p>
<p>ffatema and Cunkie927 - sorry the English won't get you out of anything. I got 5's in both AP Lit and Lang/Comp as well, you'll have to take the required classes like Writing I and II.</p>
<p>I initially applied to Stern and instead of an outright rejection, I was offered admission to the LS program. I subsequently phoned the university due to uncertainty (in part because of this chat room) and was told that I will be guaranteed a spot in stern after the 2 years in LSP. This contradicts your above theory that you so confidently reitterated.
Furthermore, on the LSP bulletin it states that one CAN in fact use economics electives towards one's major in EITHER CAS or stern.</p>
<p>Exit - Did you apply this year, or earlier? Because I'm in the class of 2012 and at an info session this year, one of my LSP classmates specifically asked if it was possible to go into Stern after 2 years in LSP and the professor specifically stated No it isn't, you can't go into Stern after 2 years in LSP. She made this very clear and repeated it later. So I'm very suprised a Stern applicant was placed into LSP - I'm guessing either you're graduating before 2012, or my professor has no clue what she's talking about lol. But thanks for the input as i'm not in Stern. </p>
<p>I know you can use Econ electives as your major in CAS/Stern, because I am an Econ double major and am taking Econ classes. Btw, to any prospective Econ majors - not only can you take Econ I and Econ II (respectively Intro Macro and Intro Micro) you can take Econ classes in CAS as well. Get a 4 or 5 on AP Econ and you can get credit and skip the Intro courses!</p>
<p>if i don't like the lsp program would it be fairly easy for me to transfer to a different school after the first year?</p>
<p>sophie, I don't think so unless you're in Tisch.</p>
<p>sophie, at the open house they said that LSP students have a fairly successful rate of transfer into different universities.</p>
<p>And on a random note, has anyone heard of NYU rescinding acceptances? My Econ class is taught by literally the most disorganized teacher I've ever had. I cannot learn from him or get extra help from him. My friends are always too busy to help me. So I have a C- :( I'm trying to bring it up. My other classes are B's, too >< I'm just not doing very well this marking period. Overall, my GPA went from a 3.8 to a 3.7 after the first semester, and I still got in...so, should I be worried?</p>
<p>as long as you don't drop your GPA to a 2.0 or something, you'll be fine. don't worry.</p>
<p>what does fairly successful mean? i mean if i try to transfer to a different university, will my enrollment in lsp be a stigma?</p>
<p>I think it's been established here that LSP is a great program. I think the "fairly" was in reference to the fact that transferring can be difficult and more competitive, no matter where you're coming from.</p>
<p>Sophie - LSP students have it the same as everyone else when it comes to transferring. NYU isn't considered an "easy" school so as long as you do well it should be fine. And if you transfer after Soph year, they'll only have 1 semester of college to go by, so your HS grades/SAT's will still be important. What schools you get into as a transfer depend on you, your grades/application, the school you're transferring from isn't a big factor.</p>
<p>ikatfabric - a 3.7 is nothing to worry about! if all your grades were C's, then that would be cause for concern.</p>
<p>I was chosen for LSP ( intitally applied as psychology major) and was offered both NYC campus and international sites, i chose Paris. What are the chances that i will be offered place at my first choice site? thanks :)</p>
<p>sorry, I can't really say, but I'd say it's likely since most people want to be in NYC first year rather than abroad...so yeah you'll probably get Paris.</p>
