<p>U know that NYU requires 4 History/ social science courses
I only took 2
i am an international students, so does that affect my chance being admitted. Is it that crucial to have the course requirement?</p>
<p>It it's "required," I assume it's required. If you didn't fulfill all the requirements for admission, you may well be rejected.</p>
<p>Best to call the Admissions Office and ask. If you manage to squeeze those courses in before you graduate high school and matriculate at NYU, they may be willing to consider that as fulfillment of the requirements.</p>
<p>I only took 3 Social Studies courses and got in. Just saying...</p>
<p>what about history? how many courses did u take.</p>
<p>Well, a lot of times in U.S. high schools, history and social studies are in the same group of subjects.</p>
<p>I took Western Civilization, AP American History, and AP American Government.</p>
<p>i find it quite unfair to international students......for example in the british system...they dont offer u social studies or history as part of their high skool courses..the courses that we'r doing instead are equivalent to college courses...its totally different from american high skools...i called nyu abt this but the guy said ALL they look at are ur history,social studies, english and foreign language courses (if im not wrong)...even if ur an international student...</p>
<p>same here, our school has only 3 history courses in total. Ontario system only require 1 history/social science</p>
<p>Social studies includes history....they might have different requirements for internationals though. I took 5 by the time I graduated high school, but only because I'm a social science major (econ).</p>
<p>I took world cultures, european history, AP US Hist (got a 5), AP Euro (got a 3), and AP Econ (5 in micro, 4 in macro).</p>
<p>Obviously, it works out some kind of way for international students...after all, for instance, I'm sure there are British students here as full-time students at NYU, and vice-versa. Call the Office of Undergraduate Admissions about it. Either way, schools around the world have some similarities...I'm sure internationals have to take some sort of history/social studies in your curriculum.</p>
