<p>Hi, do you know if it were possible to do a degree in 3 years instead of 4 years at Stern? I will already have 18 AP credits (which is 1/2 a year, I believe?) </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>its definitely possible, but be careful...since u only have 18 ap credits, you'll have to do 18 credits every semester which is tough, and you can't double major probably, which most people do.</p>
<p>Do you have 18 credits you can actually apply? Math won't count, for example.</p>
<p>That said, I could've graduated a semester early and only came in with 12 credits (I took a couple of 18 and 17 credit semesters). If you wanted to take summer classes, you could certainly do it, but I wouldn't recommend it.</p>
<p>I have 10 credits in Chemistry and 8 credits in Physics according to the AP credit information on the NYU website. I assume that these are all elective credits?</p>
<p>The main reason I want to do it in 3 years is to save $50,000. I am currently deciding between the US (4 year degree) and UK (3 year degree) and if I could get a BSc from Stern in 3 years vs 4 years I would definately go there.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I think only four of those credits are useful, though I'm not sure. I also have eight credits from Chem (btw, a 4 or 5 in Chem is eight credits, not ten... it's only Physics where the difference in score matters, I think) and am planning to use them to cover the natural sciences requirement. I don't think the rest will count toward a degree from Stern... maybe elective/other science credits. But I'm not a student yet... so all this is what I've interpreted things as.</p>
<p>they will count towards general elective credits.</p>
