<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am a sophomore at University of San Francisco, majoring in both Finance and Accounting.
I have been thinking of transferring to New York University for the coming Fall 09 Semester since I feel that NYU is able to equip me with better knowledge in business issues.
I realized that one semester of Calculus course is required for transfer eligibility to NYU.
However, at my college, business students are not required to take Calculus as a mandatory subject for MATH. We were asked to take a course called Quantitative Methods in Business.
Below is the description of the course.</p>
<hr>
<p>MATH - 106. Quantitative Methods in Business (4)</p>
<p>Prerequisites: Sufficiently high score on the Mathematics placement exam (consult with the Mathematics Department for the exact level needed), or MATH - 104. Topics include introduction to linear systems, linear programming, mathematics of finance, probability and statistics. Topics to be treated in the context of business applications. A computer laboratory component will use spreadsheet and graphing software. Offered every semester.</p>
<hr>
<p>In our sophomore year, we are then required to take a class called Quantitative Business Analysis.</p>
<hr>
<p>BUS - 204. Quantitative Business Analysis (4)</p>
<p>Prerequisite: MATH - 106 and Sophomore standing. Data analysis and modeling using spreadsheet software to support management decision making, including: simple and multiple regression models; forecasting; business simulation models; decision analysis; and optimization models for resource allocation.</p>
<hr>
<p>My question is, will these courses qualify to replace the Calculus requirement?</p>
<p>If not, I would be willing to take a calculus class outside my university. I will be taking the class at a California Community College. If I were to do this, will the calculus class which is taken at the 2-year institution be approved by NYU, or should the calculus class be taken at a 4-year institution?</p>
<p>On the other hand, if I do not take a Calculus course at all, will I still be eligible for a transfer?</p>
<p>What kind of Calculus class is considered transferable or approved by NYU? Can any calculus class be used to satisfy the calculus requirement (such as Short Calculus I at California Community College)?</p>
<p>Finally, how crucial is the SAT 1 score for the admission consideration of a transfer applicant? If my SAT score that I took during high school is poor (Math: 670, CR: 510, Writing: 600) am I allowed to take the test again (although I am already a sophomore in college) and submit the new and, probably, better score?</p>
<p>In addition I took SATII: Chinese (720), Math Level 2 (660), US History (460)</p>
<p>Note: I was an international student (Indonesian) when I took all these tests and as a result I took ToEFL Test where I got a pretty good score (around 90% if you convert it to percentage). Now since I just got a green card, I will be applying as a US Permanent Resident which I think is equal to normal US citizen. Do you think the Permanent Resident status gives me an extra advantage in the application (avoiding the international student quota)?</p>
<p>Do you think I should take the SAT's again?
What do you think is the minimum score for these SAT Tests that are considered good or at least pretty decent for a good application and consideration by the Stern's admission office?</p>
<p>Can anybody help me with this?</p>
<p>Thank you so much guys!!!!!!!! :D</p>
I was born in NYC haha but I went to LA this summer and wow big difference lol. Well not really, just a lot more people. And it gets really cold in the winter and really hot in the summer. </p>
