<p>Haha not at all. I do the exact same thing, it's a horrible way to live life.</p>
<p>I got my acceptance letter for GSP today too! Unfortuantely, my sister opened it before I got home, so seeing the pamphlet and the letter neatly on the table wasn't nearly as suspenseful or thrilling as it should've been.
My stats are:
SAT: 1240 (hey, i'm a horrible test taker)
GPA: 3.9
630w,640lit,560m
I won a poetry contest, wrote an article, and was nominated for leadership of tomorrow lottery scholarship.
Also founded a club, and have several leadership positions.</p>
<p>NyU's my second choice, so it will probably depend on whther the finaid nyu offer is more than my first.
To everyone else, good luck.</p>
<p>What's ur club? I'm presenting to the school board my Future Doctors of American club and possibly a Gay Straight Alliance (big gay population and very gay friendly, which is ironic cause my school's a jock central)</p>
<p>It's a multicultural club, and we've done pretty much a lot of good projects to garner the admiration of our principal and her budgetted allotment of $600 to our cause for next year.</p>
<p>EDIT: oh, and your proposals are very remarkable. Good luck.</p>
<p>That's horrible that you're sister opened the letter before you got home. The first thing I made sure of after sending all my applications was telling my parents not to open any mail that comes for me. Then again, how old is your sister?</p>
<p>Heh, she's actually my twin. I guess she was just as eager as me to know whether I got accepted or not. Not that she was applying to NYU or anything. But I made sure that whatever else come, I'm opening it.</p>
<p>Really disappointed although I got into GSP. I mean it's like the "alternative", hence not the real thing. </p>

<p>Do only those students who applied to CAS get into GSP....if i applied to a different college such as SCPS could i still be put into general studies</p>
<p>Yes. Its not only CAS, but mostly CAS applicants who get referred to GSP.</p>
<p>hey, i applied to CAS regular and got accepted to GSP in Florence. Now this is a really crap deal right?
Please someone.. if you know info on this..... give me the lowdown!</p>
<p>as far as i understand, all NYU students have to do GSP.. right?</p>
<p>"Students may not apply to the General Studies Program. Instead, the NYU admissions committee selects highly-qualified students to refer to GSP -- students they believe are worthy of admission to the university and who will benefit from the experience."</p>
<p>no not really...GSP isn't another name for core classes its a program for students who don't qualify to be in the normal NYU program...it is true though that GSP students take a lot of the same classes as the regular students</p>
<p>i believe the classes gsp students take are core classes that other nyu-ers have to take to satisfy nyu's core curriculum.</p>
<p>yeh that's what i thought.
all nyu students take core classes. and gsp-ers just do all of that in 2 years as opposed to across 4 years.
so gsp-ers aren't any different or "less qualified" right?</p>
<p>silver-wavez, if you read back through some of the other threads, you'll get more info on gsp. Kids who are referred to gsp are those who are not quite 'right' for admission into their intended program, so NYU accepts them into gsp and if they maintain a certain gpa, they're guaranteed entrance into their intended program in junior year. Generally their stats are a little lower, although not always. The overwhelming majority are CAS applicants. Did you get into gsp?</p>
<p>just got my gsp letter in the mail, referred from stern. dated march 17th</p>
<p>I have one word for this programme: sketchy.</p>
