How many APs do NYU accepted students take?

<p>I am asking because I have been taking all Honors/APs so far (I am a Junior), and I am self-studying 3 APs this year. Consequently, some of my grades are not very good (low B's, high C's rarely).</p>

<p>Is this usually better than most NYU applicants? Same? Worse?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>NYU does like it better if you take harder classes (honors/AP’s), so even if you do get a few B’s and even the occasional C once in a while, self studying 3 AP’s looks really good. </p>

<p>To answer your second question, if you have taken all Honors/AP classes that is definitely better than what most NYU students do b/c even though people on here might say they take all AP’s/honors, the majority of accepted students do not. </p>

<p>So to sum it all up you are definitely on the right track</p>

<p>All right, thanks :). Took 80-something views but I finally got a good reply.</p>

<p>I took 0. I know some kids who took 6+, 8+. There is so much variety within the student body here that it’s virtually impossible to get an accurate descriptive snapshot of everyone. We have something absurd like 19,000 undergraduates.</p>

<p>its really different bc some schools don’t offer AP’s and they can’t really count that against you.</p>

<p>why are you self studying for more AP’s if you’re getting B’s in the regular classes</p>

<p>they only care about your gpa</p>

<p>course rigor is a factor at NYU</p>

<p>No school looks solely at GPA. Otherwise a kid could just take all regular courses. I would hope that a college would take someone like me with a 95ish weighted and 10 APs over someone with a 100 average but no honors or APs.</p>

<p>I’m not saying 10 APs is necessary by any means either, my school is very competitive and pushes APs so most students take several. 10 is a little extreme anyway. Its more along the lines of Ivy-material than what is necessary for NYU.</p>

<p>I’m getting B’s on AP classes, metalmoses.</p>

<p>I want to self-study to try to get National AP Scholar! And I’d rather be overqualified for NYU than underqualified. That way I have a better chance at getting at least SOME aid.</p>
