Dropping High School Courses as Accepted Student

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>Hey, so I was accepted and NYU stated that if changes were to be made to your high school schedule, to email NYU. I got this somewhat nebulous response:</p>

<p>"Ideally, it's our hope that students admitted to the University will continue to perform at a comparable level in a comparable course load throughout senior year. That said, if there are special circumstances surrounding a need for a course change we do understand, and it's quite rare that one change in a student's schedule would impact his or her offer of admission.</p>

<p>As long as you continue to perform well in your remaining academic courses, this should not be an issue."</p>

<p>Would you think that this implies that I am granted permission to drop a course or not?</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>“This should not be an issue.” sounds pretty reassuring to me.</p>

<p>The written response is not perfectly clear. My DD wrote to an actual person at one of her accepted EA universities to ask if they needed the mid-year report. This is a response I trust because it comes from an admissions officer. He said no mid-year report was necessary since she was already accepted, but that she should not fail any classes this spring. :wink: I suggest you find a live person who can tell you the answer. Each institution has different policies and expectations.</p>

<p>@disari21 I’ve been leaning toward this. Thanks</p>

<p>@laplatinum I checked with my Guidance Councilor and he said it shouldn’t be a problem. I’m dropping AP Comp Sci as a Pre-med/Biochem so I doubt they’ll place emphasis on that. Thank you</p>
