<p>Hey guys, I was accepted to NYU ED and I am not sure of what AP tests to take this spring.</p>
<p>This questions kind of long so please bear with me.</p>
<p>From Last year I have Bio(8 credits), Psych(4 credits), and U.S. History(4 credits)=16 total.</p>
<p>Stern has 128 credits total that one must take. With Last years AP tests, I am down to 112 left to take. This means that it is 14 credits evenly over 8 semesters. </p>
<p>However, could I take 16 credits for my first six semesters(Freshman - Junior Year) then take 8 credits each semester senior year which would save me about $8000 senior year.</p>
<p>I was just wondering if this was possible to do since I wouldn't mind saving some money?
I was also thinking about doing 18 credits a semester but that could get a little hectic.</p>
<p>Side Note: Should I take the Chemistry AP exam this spring which would give me 8 credits and would leave me with only 104 credits total to complete?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, I know its a lot but I need to decide on AP exams by the end of the week.</p>
<p>Come on guys…I don’t like being pushy but I need to decide and hand in AP paperwork by the end of the week.</p>
<p>I am getting desperate…lol.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>i think 8 credits puts you at part-time, which might render you ineligible for financial aid, wouldn’t it? most classes are 4 credits (at least for me, in Steinhardt) so i don’t even know how common it is for someone to take 14 credits. i have no clue about Stern, so i might be totally off-base :P. </p>
<p>no reason to take Chem since you already have the 8 credits of NatSci. you don’t need more than that.</p>

<p>google brought up this: <a href=“nyu ap credit stern - Google Search”>nyu ap credit stern - Google Search;
<p>I guess I can’t do that.</p>
<p>So is there any point to taking AP exams and getting credit from them since you can’t save money?</p>
<p>^^ My reasoning for why I opted out of all 5 I could have taken this year ^^
Most of the schools I applied to don’t take anything for credit =/</p>
<p>you graduate faster. it frees up your schedule. you might graduate a semester faster. </p>
<p>i don’t think part-time students (less than 12 credits) can stay in the housing system, either.</p>
<p>I guess I could graduate faster but wouldn’t it be weird graduating in the Fall when all your friends graduate in the Spring?</p>
<p>I’m still considering only taking 8 credits per semester senior year and I don’t necessarily need NYU housing since it only takes me 30-45 min. train ride to get to NYU.</p>
<p>if you graduate in winter, you can still walk in all-university commencement in the spring.</p>
