<p>Come on shades, don't grace chances posts with answers in this thread. You explicitly stated that you can't predict admissions.</p>
<p>My question: is there some form of class syllabus that we can use, just to get a feel for the material before classes start? I'm specifically referencing gen. chem.</p>

<p>I do my best to help everyone out. Sure, I can't predict admissions, but I can offer an opinion, so I did. :)</p>
<p>As for Gen. Chem, who's your professor? Did you search his/her website or the NYU website in general for "General Chemistry syllabus"? I found this on the NYU website: <a href="http://www.nyu.edu/classes/inorg/GC1/su06/GC1intro.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.nyu.edu/classes/inorg/GC1/su06/GC1intro.htm</a> and after some rooting around, I also found this: <a href="http://www.nyu.edu/classes/inorg/GC1/f05/GC1intro.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.nyu.edu/classes/inorg/GC1/f05/GC1intro.htm</a></p>
<p>I hope that helps you. :D</p>
<p>How/when do we sign up for workstudy?</p>
<p>Thanks, shades_children. I have Professor Halpin, so that was of tremendous help to me. (I tried looking on the Chemistry department's website, to no avail.)</p>
<p>LastAccntBanned: I have no idea. Off the top of my head, I'd call the Office of Financial Aid.</p>
<p>goyoungha:</p>
<p>A general rule for finding things on the NYU website is that they'll never be where you expected them to be. It's just better to use the search function then to try and look it up under the section you think it'll be.</p>
<p>If they don't post syllabuses on Blackboard, most teachers will post them under their own private websites. I think this is true for the vast majority of CAS classes.</p>
<p>Good luck to you in General Chemistry. :) If you've got a question about the material, PM me. I made it out alright in the Honors section, so I hope I remember enough to be able to help out current students. :D</p>
<p>shades, will profs tell us which books to get the first day of class? b/c i didnt pre-order</p>
<p>eji2006: Sure, they'll mention it, but in a few days or a week, the NYU bookstore (<a href="http://www.bookstores.nyu.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.bookstores.nyu.edu/</a>) will be posting the books you need. You can enter your netID and birthdate, and BAM! NYU Bookstore will spit out the list of books your professors have requested for your classes. :D That way, you can buy the books you need before the term officially starts.</p>
<p>What's the biggest scholarship there is at NYU? How much of cost of attendance does it cover?</p>
<p>are there a lot of legacies there? i would be a legacy so im hopin i can get in, just in case i want to enroll.</p>
<p>way off the academic topic-- do you like to eat at BBQ's? (i grew up on food from BBQs)
if not, where do you like to eat? (im only asking this if others want to kno what restaurants are around)</p>
<p>if by legacy you mean famous alumni, then yes...there are a lot</p>
<p>nvra2ndchance, if you are a legacy with a satisfactory academic record, then you should by no means have trouble in finding a fat envelope in your mailbox. But try not to base your decision to enroll on whether or not there are a lot of legacies at the school. I would venture to make a bold statement that legacies are not superhumans, just people who are fortunate enough to be blessed with accomplished parents. So it may not be such a bad idea to befriend those non-legacies like myself. :)</p>
<p>thanks shades...ur awesome....and btw....do dorms have ironing boards perhaps fold aways in the closets or do we need to bring our own?</p>
<p>Theres a store called the Christmas Tree shop near me and it sells a very small iorning board which is built for college students, you can put it on your bed or a desk, its stand is shaped like the bottom of a sled, btw it was like 3.99.</p>
<p>dwincho: I believe the biggest scholarship offered by NYU is the $25k CAS merit scholarship. I have heard people say that NYU offers a few full-ride scholarships, but I can't confirm this. Of course, this isn't to say that people can't get a "full ride" by combining aid sources, but like I said, I do not know anyone who got full tuition paid by NYU.</p>
<p>nvra2ndchance: I do not know any legacy students. Frankly, twenty-thirty years ago NYU was not the same caliber as it is today, so that might affect thenumber of NYU legacy students. I don't know how it'll affect your chances. It certainly can't hurt, though.</p>
<p>eji2006: Nope, no ironing boards. Take LastAccntBanned's advice. Though, one of my Sternie roommates brought a full-size ironing board. Took up a lot of space in our Palladium common room when it was being used.</p>
<p>no one goes to bbq's for the food. two words: happy hour. let's leave it at that.</p>
<p>the_nightboy: I, uh, am going to have to agree with you on that... people go there for the drinks the size of their heads.</p>
<p>umm, I'm not sure if this was asked but...</p>
<p>exactly how long do the core classes take? I know for med school some pre-qes. are required, so can you complete the amt you need to cover to graduate+amt you need for med school by junior year?</p>
<p>And last question...I know that being a bio/biochem major (or being in the premed track) is not easy at NYU, but do students have enough time to hold a job or do research?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>you just revived a 3+ year old thread.</p>
<p>what do you mean by core classes? if you mean the basic liberal arts that everyone must take regardless of major, those can usually be dont with freshman year, or maybe first semester sophmore year depending how you want to space it out. as for pre-med prereqs, you can space those out any way you want as well. and plenty of my premed friends work or do research during the shcool year as well, so while it is hard, if you're really motivated its definetly doable.</p>
<p>Talk about a blast from the past. I started this thread when I was a junior in college. Now I'm halfway through my second year of medical school. A lot's changed since then.</p>

<p>The core classes take however long you want them to take. I didn't finish all my MAP courses until first semester senior year. It was a good thing for a few reasons. First of all, I didn't really gain the analytical and writing skills to do well in MAP courses until after sophomore year, so I got B's in my first few MAP courses. Also, spacing out the MAP courses meant that I could take an elective almost every single semester, which was a good way to maintain my sanity.</p>
<p>I also had a slightly unorthodox schedule for my pre-med coursework, too, but I think it was to my advantage. I left bio for last and took it as a junior, but I took physics as a sophomore. That way, I'd finished all of physics and all the relevant biology by the time I took the MCAT.</p>

<p>You should definitely not have a problem working or doing research, provided your time management skills are good. Senior year, while I was applying to medical school, I also managed to be in lab 20-25 hours a week with 17 credits.</p>
