<p>Do the pre med courses prepare you well for the MCAT?</p>
<p>@breindy Poly is an engineering degree, CAS is a liberal arts degree. The course offerings are very different, you can find the specific course sequences on the respective school websites</p>
<p>@BigScaryMonster I think they prepare you reasonably well, assuming that you learn the material properly the first time. I will say that the emphases on the MCAT are not necessarily what is emphasized in classes, so there is material that you will have to self study. Biology especially prepares you for the kinds of questions that show up on the MCAT</p>
<p>is it true that in pre-med (or in general) classes, at least 60% have to get a b-</p>
<p>Depends on the class, some curve but most don’t. Generally they look at the highest raw score, and then bump them all up so that ~60 get a B- or higher, but if more people than 60% get raw scores of a B- or higher, they never scale the grades down to compensate</p>
<p>Are you looking at NYU for Med School? If so, do you think NYU prepared you well for the MCAT and made you a competitive applicant?</p>
<p>Also, I enjoy Biology and Chemistry equally, but I do admit that I can study Chemistry for longer periods of time (probably because I am a math person at heart). Best to major in Biology, Chemistry, or BioChem? </p>
<p>1)How easy is it to get in classes you chose in the CAS? 2) How high is the graduation rate after four years?
I am accepted to LSP and I am still uncertain about going.
Thanks!</p>
<p>@anerdygangster I will probably apply to NYU med as I will probably apply to every med school in NYC, because of the population I want to work with. I wouldn’t necessarily say that NYU made me a competitive or uncompetitive applicant, it really depends on what you do while you’re there. As far as the MCAT, some classes were better than others. Gen chem and bio were pretty good, while physics was useless.</p>
<p>As far as choosing a major, I would really wait to declare because after gen chem chemistry is VERY different, and there’s really no way to predict if you’ll like it. Remember also that you don’t have to do a science major, you can experiment and do something else too</p>
<p>@amber33 Class registration times depend on how many credits you have. If you’re coming in with AP credits, after the first semester registration you get an earlier registration time, which is helpful. After freshman year I never had a problem with getting my classes because I came in with 28 APs and maxed out my credits every semester. Grad rate I don’t know, but I’m sure it’s somewhere on NYU’s website</p>
<p>HOW DO U GET RESCINDED LMAO </p>
<p>If you opt for an explorations floor, do people tend to get their first choice? So far my order is Brittany, Hayden, then Founders, but I’d wanna do the food exploration for brittany. </p>
<p>Depends on how popular the dorm is, but if you want one in Brittany you will most likely get it as its not one of the most popular dorms</p>
What are the exploration floors in Brittany?
You’d have to check on the nyu housing site, they change year to year based on RA and student interest
Which is the easiest NYU school to get into , in your opinion ?
@SameerHussain, that’s a loaded question, but probably SCPS (sports management and real estate I think?) mostly because the programs are not as commonplace or well-known as other NYU programs
@jazzcatastrophe does NYU accept Collegeboard Application fee waivers and will they accept it if I fax it the day of the deadline and the day i hand in my application Jan 1st?
Obv too late to answer, but that is a question that should be directed to NYU BEFORE the day of the deadline
@jazzcatastrophe What have you heard about Rubin? I really wanna room there because of the Choices community but I heard it’s like the least sought after dorm 
is it really as bad as they say? Brittany would be my second choice.
As a dorm (and dining hall), Rubin kind of sucks. No AC, tiny rooms, in a weird location, etc. As far as Choices goes, unfortunately I’ve heard that freshman Choices floors end up just like other freshman doors in terms of substance use and partying, so there isn’t all that much benefit. The only redeeming factor of Rubin is that it has low cost rooms, if that is something you need. Brittany is a nice dorm though, even more so since they renovated it, so I would put that ahead of Rubin if I were you.
any idea of what the Hayden renovations are like and also, how much of a party dorm is hayden?
