Wait list vs GSP

<p>i am a bit confused. How does NYU decide between offering a spot on the wait list, or an admission to GSP? It is impossible to tell from the stats listed.</p>

<p>I'm going to NYU next year as a GSP student. When I accepted to GSP I was confused because I'd never heard of it. My parents and I attended an information session for accepted GSP students (this was in November, I did ED). They told us that the reason they have GSP in the first place is because they don't have a waitlist.
Basically this guy's explanation was that at any other college, they select which students they want at their school and accept maybe three-quarters of those students and put the bottom quarter on the waitlist. At NYU the bottom quarter gets admitted to GSP.
However, I don't know what to tell you because apparently NYU actually does have a waitlist.</p>

<p>Well, they don't have an ED waitlist...</p>

<p>MB, well obviously they don't have a waitlist for E.D. because applicants who apply E.D. know that it's binding. A waitlist isn't necessary. You're either accepted and expected to attend, or denied. I'm sure that's what they meant in the information session you attended.</p>

<p>Actually, I called when I received the GSP acceptance (RD), because I had never heard of this program at NYU. I asked if they had a waitlist, and they said that they did not. Maybe they meant that the chances of getting in off the waitlist was slim?</p>

<p>There's obviously no waitlist for gsp but NYU has always had waitlists for the other colleges.</p>

<p>Obviously I asked about the waitlist for CAS vs GSP.</p>

<p>is there one big waitlist for NYU or are the waitlists divided into seperate schools.... like one for CAS, one for Stern, one for Tisch</p>

<p>Each school has its own list. Think about it. It would make absolutely no sense otherwise.</p>

<p>sorry im clueless what is gsp?</p>
