<p>does anyone know the % of people who apply ED and are placed into the GSP program?</p>
<p>you can call admissions and find out though i don't see how that's relevant. seriously, if everyone just asked the people who actually make the admission decision then you would be more informed. good luck.</p>
<p>edit: looks like there are ppl here who have attempted this. there is a very informative featured discussion:</p>

Ok. I spoke to an admission rep of GSP. NYU received 35,000 applications this year for 4,000 undergrad spots (which includes the 750-800 spots for GSP). GSP is the second largest program/school next to CAS. According to the rep, this was the most competitive applicant pool they have ever seen (which seems to be the case with every school, yay end of the Baby Boomers!). The cut off for CAS SAT scores was around 1360. Students accepted to GSP have scores ranging from 1200-1350.</p>
<p>I guess I'll share everything I learned from the phone conversation...</p>
<p>If I do not like GSP, am I able to transfer to another university?</p>
<p>Yes, like any other student you can transfer out of GSP/NYU. GSP is a liberal arts education.</p>
<p>I applied to CAS. What occurs if I want to enroll into [Stern] my Jr. year?</p>
<p>You are guaranteed a spot in CAS following your sophomore year. If you would like to enroll into a different NYU school, you must follow the traditional transfer process.</p>
<p>Will I be able to double major?</p>
<p>Yes. Several GSP students graduate with two majors. You and your advisor will develop a plan in which you can do so.</p>
<p>Will I be behind in my major requirements once Jr. year arrives?</p>
<p>No. You will be fulfilling the same amount of liberal arts requirements as all CAS students.</p>
<p>Ok. So, what is the major difference between GSP and CAS?</p>
<p>In the end, there is really no difference. There are two paths in the road that meet at a midpoint; from there, it is one path to a degree. Many GSP students will inform you that they felt more prepared during their Jr year v. a CAS Jr. year student.</p>
<p>Why does this program exist? Why not accept an additional 750 students to CAS?</p>
<p>GSP exists because NYU recognizes that several bright ambitious students are overlooked because they did not score super high on their SATs. NYU wants these students. They deserve to go to NYU. Thus, GSP was formed.</p>
<p><strong><em>So for all of the students who are receiving GSP letters...you are in NYU! You will graduate from NYU! GSP, in fact, may be an inadvertent gift to us all.</em></strong>

<p>damn. gsp is only if you apply ed? :(</p>
<p>"The cut off for CAS SAT scores was around 1360" Does that mean if you have a 1320 and apply, you have a low shot at making CAS?</p>
<p>there is no cut off score. i know someone(asian) got in to stern with 1300 sat score.</p>
<p>"The cut off for CAS SAT scores was around 1360" whats that mean then?</p>
<p>you can still make it into stern/cas with scores lower than that, though rare for stern..it's possible. the 1360 was just a general rule of thumb..score lower than that..you have more to prove as to why NYU is your ultimate choice in order to avoied getting GSPed.</p>
<p>so if im applying to nyu stern ed...and i do not get in, will they still send me an acceptance letter if i got into GSP? Does the deffering to GSP automatic or do you have to reapply reg. decision or something? and also, since i am applying ed, and it is binding, if i got into the gsp and not stern...would i still be obligated to go to gsp since its binding??</p>
<p>btw...i have a 1410/1600 (780 M, 630 cr) with some activities and a gpa of 3.82 unweighted. based on these stats alone do you think i have a good shot at stern ed...and if not the GSP prgram? (i kno there are other factors in the applying process) are</p>
<p>"damn. gsp is only if you apply ed?"
**** No. Both ED and RD can be offered GSP.</p>
<p>"so if im applying to nyu stern ed...and i do not get in, will they still send me an acceptance letter if i got into GSP?"
**** It won't be an "acceptance" letter, but will offer you the option of accepting GSP"</p>
<p>"if i got into the gsp and not stern...would i still be obligated to go to gsp since its binding??"
**** No it is not binding. Since you were not offered the school of your choice, you may decline GSP without penalty. Same is true for any other NYU school.</p>
<p>It is important to note that the transfer to your original school after two years is contingent upon you achieving a GPA of 3.0 in GSP.</p>
