<p>missamericanpie, any advice about housing for transfers? I want to live in Alumni Hall, how likely is it that I can?</p>
<p>Can I anyone explain why MAP courses are showing Closed on the website? My son has been looking at what classes to sign up for and the ones for are Text and Cultures and the other half, most are showing closed.</p>

<p>There’s around 30 kids in Nutrition I think. I have a couple friends in the program, it’s pretty legit.</p>
<p>I will be paying my Housing Reservation Payment soon, but I am afraid the office won’t be able to receive the reservation payment coupon by June 1 if I send it by regular mail. Can I fax it instead?</p>
<p>Why don’t you send it priority mail or have it overnighted or something?</p>
<p>I am international student and don’t want to spend money on express-mailing just because of one piece of paper.</p>
<p>@bimachris</p>
<p>Thanks for the info! Happen to have any super nice friends in nutrition who wouldn’t mind talking to a prospective transfer (junior) by any chance?</p>
<p>ChargerFans: Most of the MAP course classes and sections that say “closed” are not really closed, they are on reserve for Freshman Summer Orientation. It is my understanding that they hold a set number of spots in each of the lectures/sections for each summer orientation session so that students who attend the later sessions are not at a disadvantage. This is not, however, the case for the MAP classes that are often taken by upperclassmen, such as the Quantitative Reasoning classes (apparently there are A LOT of procrastinators). If those sections say “closed”, they may well be. </p>
<p>Also, I noticed the Registrar has moved the MAP Writing the Essay classes out of the Morse Academic Plan category and into the Expository Writing category, in case anyone is having difficulty finding the WRE class options.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if we’re supposed to get the orientation invitation in the mail or just print it out? In the list of things we’re supposed to bring they say we’re supposed to bring our invitation as well so I don’t know if they’re expecting some mailed copy and they’d dismiss me for having some printed form.</p>
<p>I’m referring to: <a href=“http://www.nyu.edu/cas/orientation/images/Orientation_invite_2010_2ndpass.pdf[/url]”>http://www.nyu.edu/cas/orientation/images/Orientation_invite_2010_2ndpass.pdf</a></p>
<p>About the Gyms…
Coles for example… is it free for students? I can just go whenever i want and work out, use the pool… etc?</p>
<p>I’m sorry but I don’t know about registering for Orientation. I think when I did mine I registered online but it’s been two years now and orientation is completely different for every school.</p>
<p>about the Gyms, there are two gyms at NYU, Coles and Palladium. Both are free for NYU students (you need your NYU ID) and have all the facilities one would assume a gym to have. Both have a pool. You can go “whenever you want” as in whenever it’s open but the hours are generally pretty long considering they realize some students workout before their 8 oclock class and others prefer later at night. Coles is on Mercer (near campus) and Palladium is on 14th St (in the dorm). Palladium is much nicer (AC and newer facilities) but I think most people just go to the one that is closer to them.</p>
<p>Hi, I was wondering if anything of the current NYU students had experience being waitlisted for classes? Since I am just registering now, a lot of the courses I am interested in taking are full. I am on 3 different waitlists and am positions 9, 12 and 15 on them. One of the classes I HAVE to take. I’m currently registered for 12 other credits, should I find a 4th backup class so I still have 16 credits if I don’t get off waitlists?</p>
<p>Do you know how likely it is that I’ll get off the waitlist? Can you still go to the first class if you’re on the waitlist? Should I try e-mailing the prof of the one I HAVE to take?</p>
<p>I’ve been on multiple waitlists and I’ve gotten into them all. However it really depends on the class. Here’s what I wrote on another thread:
“i learned on my own about waitlists but as long as no timing overlaps, feel free to get on the wait lists for classes (with professors or times you prefer) and at least try. there is A LOT of switching around throughout the summer and first weeks of class so chances are you’ll get in if you’re below 20 for big class or 5-7 for small seminars. just don’t forget to drop the other class you may have signed up for as backup”</p>
<p>Additionally if any of those classes are bigger than maybe 80 or 100 you’ll probably get in. however most small language classes (or small seminars) only open up a few spots because the classes are small anyways. You don’t have to find a backup class RIGHT now but it can be nice to reserve a spot in one (before they’re all taken) anyways just so you have a backup saved in case none of them work out. Again there is A LOT of shuffling around even through the add/drop period so yes, if you aren’t in the class by the time they start then I would go to the class anyways if your spot is low (less than 5). </p>
<p>And yes. Talking to the professor is very worth a try. Some of them are very flexible and will almost definitely understand and let you in the class right away. Others will be more rigid due to room capacity or they just don’t care. Depending on your reason for why you “have” to take it most will be understanding and all of them have the power to manually place you in their class unless room capacity is a problem.</p>
<p>hi I was wonering if you have lived on an explorations floor or know anyone who has.
I’m thinking of applying to one of the three floors at hayden. do you happen to know anything about them?</p>
<p>hi, on the MAP web page it says that the foreign language requirement can be fulfilled with outstanding sat II scores. What exactly do they mean by outstanding?</p>
<p>To see if you’re exempt from some or all of the language requirements you need to check the specific department. If you look on the website it should say, I remember seeing somewhere on the Spanish Department’s website that getting higher than something like 720 on the SAT II exempt the Spanish requirement, or a 4 or 5 on the AP test.</p>
<p>csh is correct. This is from the Spanish Department’s FAQ:</p>
<hr>
<p>"If students have taken the SAT II exam they can use these scores to register for a course. Please call the department with your score and we can advise you on what course to enroll in, 212-998-8770.</p>
<p>Students who score a 4 or 5 on the AP Language Exam are exempt from the University’s language requirement. They can enroll in V95.0100 Advanced Grammar and Composition.</p>
<p>Students with scores above 720 on the SAT II or University Placement Exam must take a short written exam in the Spanish department in order to determine whether they can enroll in a course above V95.0100 Advanced Grammar and Composition."</p>
<hr>
<p>If your language is something other than Spanish you’ll need to check the FAQ for the appropriate department, but I’m thinking that the qualifying score would be consistent across all languages.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me if the storage bins(sold at Bed Bath & Beyond for college students) that go under beds, will fit under the beds in all the NYU dorms?</p>
<p>There are about 11 million under the bed storage units sold at BB&W. The freshman dorm beds can all be lifted with risers, so theoretically, you can fit it underneath.</p>
<p>When/How do we start registering for courses? I logged into Albert but it made little to no sense to me. Please help! I want to get started preparing ASAP
EDIT: Also what does a credit mean in college terms (Stupid question I know) but I don’t know the answer to it. 1 credit=1 class? Or what?? Please someone explain this to me</p>
