<p>I had a worse CR score than you and I got in…</p>

3

<p>@stoharewell You had a higher gpa, and you got into LSP, which I don’t think they have for regular decision. </p>

<p>@OP
i think it’s ok because you moved here just 3 years ago and your other stats are impressive. It’s DEFINITELY worth applying to, I think you have a great shot, and you’e likely to get in</p>

4

<p>By the way, I’m applying to CAS, not Stern :P</p>

5

<p>There ARE LSP offers for RD applicants.</p>

6

<p>@Colij
LSP is not bad to be put into either… I dont know if you meant it like that, but its still NYU lol.</p>

7

<p>There are lots of RD LSP admits. At the end of the day, LSP is just a different way of getting MAP done. My current plan is to do only the 8 required LSP core classes with the rest of my fresh and soph classes in CAS (doing the 2 science req’s, the quant reasoning class and starting my major). I think people forget that you only have to do 8 LSP classes (Writing 1 and 2, CF 1, 2 and 3 and SF 1,2 and 3), not two years. The rest of your classes can be entirely in CAS (or wherever).</p>
