Just a Question about Requirements

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey guys. I'm thinking about transferring to NYU Stern next fall and it says on their website that, " Applicants for transfer admission should have completed (or be in the process of completing) semester courses in the following areas: calculus I (or higher), expository writing, microeconomics, statistics, managerial accounting, and financial accounting.* The calculus course must be the equivalent of Calculus I as offered by your school’s mathematics department; courses such as business calculus, elementary calculus, and calculus for social sciences typically do not satisfy the calculus requirement for Stern transfers.</p>

<p>*Note: We understand that some students, especially those transferring as sophomores, may not be able to complete all of the recommended courses by the end of their freshman year. In that case, we ask that you provide an explanation in the “additional information” section of your application for the Committee on Admissions to consider when your application is reviewed."</p>

<p>WELL, i currently attend a university as a business major and therefore, the school enrolled me into business calculus. Also, i got a 4 on my AP Micro which allowed me to not be required to take it in my university. I am going to be taking macroeconomics though. Financial Accounting and Expository Writing are the only classes on that list that I will probably be taking.. Will this put me at a huge disadvantage? And if so, why? Why does Stern care if I took those classes when I can just take them at Stern if i successfully transfer?</p>

<p>I know this was a lot to read but help would be appreciated :)
Thanks</p>

<p>You should call up the admissions officers at Stern. They can clear up your questions better than we can.</p>

<p>i called them several times and even posted it on their forum but their answers are very vague and unhelpful. i was just hoping for someone who had the same problem in previous years to answer my question haha</p>
