<p>Is there anyway to skip the NYU Writing the Essay course... I heard its really tough to get an A and would be a bad way to start of freshman year. Is there any way to skip the class by using AP Credits, or SAT scores?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>i sent you a PM about SAT writing and commerce and culture but i’ll post again.</p>
<p>a 700-750 for a stern student on the SAT writing will place you out of WTE and into commerce and culture (Stern writing course). a 750+ places you out of both.</p>
<p>Also AP English Lit with a 5 will place you out, not sure about a 4. You want to check with advising on that one. AP English Lang won’t get you anything.</p>
<p>Is Commerce and Culture easier than WTE?</p>
<p>Thanks alot sansri88, anyone have a response for Ohboi’s question?</p>
<p>from what i heard yes its a bit easier. it’s still a writing course though that’s sort of supposed to be the equivalent to WTE at stern…your mileage may vary.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if ACT scores can also be used for exemption from WTE/Commerce and Culture?</p>
