<li><p>Does it provide a good 4 year college experience? IE dorms and sports and extracurricular activities? I’m basically asking if it’s worth it to go.</p></li>
<li><p>I am a junior and I got a 226/240 on the PSAT (158/160), 750 chem SAT2, 770 bio SAT2, I am going to take the physics, Math II and AP History SAT 2 this year as well. My cumulative GPA throughout high school will be a 4.4 (Keep in mind that my junior year GPA is a 4.8, no honors courses were available my freshman year, and only one AP course was available my sophomore year). Do I have a chance of getting in for the engineering or architecture program?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Oh yeah, my current courses and grades are:
AP Bio (A-)
AP Economics (A)
AP US History (A)
AP Calculus BC part 1 (A-)
Physics H (A-)
English 3 H (A-)
Spanish 4 H (A)</p>
<p>refund, you need to do some research on Cooper Union. it is located in downtown manhatten. there are no sports. Dorm space is limited and most students have to find housing in NYC, which is expensive. It does not offer a typical college experience, not by a long shot. the college is designed for students who know they want a career in architecture, engineering or art.</p>
<p>There ARE sports at the Cooper Union. Men's soccer team won the conference championship a few years ago, and I believe tennis as well. Volleyball is popular too here. Then again, it's only a very small conference composed of a few small schools in the area (it's not Division I, II, or III). Sports are very limited though, especially because we don't have any "home" fields. I wouldn't come here if you're looking for a good sports program though.</p>
<p>Does it provide a good experience? I think so, but it's not your typical college experience. If you're looking for campuses with quads, frats, and lots of majors to choose from, look elsewhere. </p>
<p>There's only enough room for freshmen in the dorms, so most people find their own apartments in the area afterwards. It IS expensive, and given the NYC market, it's very hard to even find an appropriate apartment.</p>
<p>Admission into the engineering program is heavily stats based, while admission into the architecture school is highly dependent on your portfolio (grades really don't matter much).</p>
<p>This is a GREAT school with free tuition...but go there for academics not extra-curricular activities (except diversity of NYC). On the other hand, you could probably join a "club" sport at NYU and no one would know the difference.</p>
