<p>I might be your recitation TA. I’m also a Forum TA. And an orientation leader. So I probably bumped into you but don’t…know you haha.</p>
<p>I don’t know anything about minors at NYU; you’d have to call Poly and ask to speak to an Admissions counselor: 1-800-POLYTECH. Sorry! These things are always changing.</p>
<p>You can use the Bobst Library at any time, provided it’s not closed. lol.</p>
<p>I’m thinking about apply for M.S in Chemical Engineering at Poly… how is it?
Is it expensive? :(</p>
<p>I’m considering apply for Civil Engineering at Poly. Have you heard anything about Civil? Is it good?</p>
<p>Yep, I’m currently dating a Civil major. I personally thought about going into civil engineering when I was a freshman, because there are so many facets of it (traffic engineering, mechanics of materials, city planning, etc) and so much of it is important and relevant…it’s also easy to see what you work with. And the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) club at NYU-Poly is extremely legitimate and dedicated to their project competitions; they focus on the Concrete Canoe competition (which they have won in the past) and the Steel Bridge competition. Like I said, it’s all super hands on, you can see what you work with, and learn a lot.</p>
<p>@static75: Sorry for the late reply. I have been extremely bogged down by the workload and am finishing my report on Lab 03 right now, actually. Since you’re a recitation TA and not a Lab TA, there might be a chance i know you. Then again, my other friends might know you, haha. </p>
<p>@Propane: Yes, you can definitely take minors in NYU although that would most likely be in your sophmore/junior year because the freshman workload is quite heavy. In addition, Poly doesn’t want your grades to drop from over-stress, so if you don’t mind taking minors there in a year or two, you should be fine. As for the library, you’re free to use the Bobst library whenever it’s open. There is still a slight problem with borrowing books from them online and using their database because the ID systems are still not fully integrated. I’m trying to get a solution to that once i have the time. </p>
<p>@yg7s7: You should email a Poly Admission Counselor about MS since we’re only undergrads and the admissions would provide much better answer to you. Unless, you’re referring to the BS/MS 4 year option here, then we can fill you in a bit. The 4 year integrated program can allow you to physically get both the Bachelor of Science and Masters of Engineering degree in 4 years, but you can imagine the amount of stress involved. </p>
<p>@lc0115: Poly civil is indeed very interesting and i was accepted through civil. However, I am currently dual majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering because i find the COURSES more suitable for me. Civil is a very broad and interesting major although i personally find the job market to civil engineers vastly limited to government jobs (because most private companies don’t have the money to fund for bridges, etc). Also, as a computer fanatic, I became more interested into computer and electrical engineering and thus, switched majors. As with what static75 wrote, is is mostly a hands-on major and will provide plenty of projects. During my scholarship orientation when i was still a civil major, the professors were very nice and polite.</p>
<p>I went to NYU Poly’s open house today and it seems like a very nice school, and now I’m even more inclined to apply. I got a Dean’s application in the mail a few weeks ago, so it’s not as if I’m wasting any money applying, even if I don’t end up going there. The only thing is that I really couldn’t afford to go there with the high cost unless I got a significant amount of merit based aid. It’s quite an expensive school. I know someone on the front page mentioned that they had a significant amount, so I was wondering if they or anyone else could give me a rough estimate based on the following?</p>
<p>104 weighted GPA, 93 unweighted.
SAT - 2170 superscored: 710 Math, 720 Reading, 740 Writing.
SAT IIs - 780 Math II, 750 Chem
Challenging senior schedule (AP Physics B [we don’t have C], Calc BC, English Lit, Statistics, Syracuse Univ. Project Adv. Public Policy and Psych)
Other AP courses and exams (Chem: 5, English Lang: 5, Comp Sci AB: 5, US Hist: 4)
Other courses offered by colleges (some 3-credit business comp sci course from a SUNY school in VB)</p>
<p>I never actually took Comp Sci AB as a course. I was in an introductory Java class in my sophomore year, and heard that collegeboard was discontinuing it due to a lack of interest. Since I didn’t want to get stuck with just A, I made a note to read through the Barron’s review book and do a few practice problems and took the exam then. Ironically I did much better than anyone actually in the class. Then again, I’ve also been programming since I was 13 in PHP, Ruby, Python, Java, C# and VB.NET.</p>
<p>As for extracurricular things…well, I’m the president of the computer club and I participate in a college’s programming competition every year, but it’s a team thing so a lack of skilled teammates limits my ability to win (though we do significantly better than the majority). I joined my school’s Math club and Model Congress this year, but that’s about it really. Was never very social until last year.</p>
<p>I’m planning on taking the SATs one more time to try to get my Math score up. I’m actually really very good at Math, but the first time I was a little unprepared, and the second, I accidentally left 8 M/C blank without realizing until time had been called which just tanked my score. Also taking the ACTs later this month.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>Oh, and I also joined my school’s “Green Team” (recycling group) and Film Club this year. The Green Team was run through the Computer Club since the school wouldn’t establish it as an individual club for the past few years, thus why I forgot.</p>
<p>Regents:
Integrated Algebra - 100
Algebra II and Trigonometry - 100
Geometry - 100
English Language Arts - 99
Living Environment - 98
US History - 97
Spanish - 97
Phy/Set Chemistry - 95
Global History - 90</p>
<p>One other thing…</p>
<p>In my Sophomore year, I had also briefly transferred down from a school on Long Island to one in Florida, where my grades suffered pretty badly. I was experimenting and had decided to stay with my aunt and uncle for a quarter, see how I liked the Florida area. </p>
<p>I ended up with a D in English, and a C in History and Spanish (though my AP Bio and Honors Geometry grades were fine, B and A+ respectively). I had arrived towards the end of summer, and never completed the summer assignment for English, which put a huge dent in my average. I was actually doing well in World History, but for some reason my average went down towards the end of the quarter. Never bothered looking into it. :\ One of the major reasons was that the school schedule was vastly different (started and ended much later, and classes were on a block schedule) which was quite stressful, as were social issues.</p>
<p>I moved back right in time for the second quarter, though, when I realized it wasn’t working out well, and my overall averages in all the subjects I was doing poorly in ended up as As and Bs by the end of the year (I actually ended up switching my science from AP Bio to Advanced Chem when I got back, though, which turned out great for me because AP Chem turned out to be one of my favorite subjects).</p>
<p>Think this might poorly affect my chances at NYU Poly, or other colleges for that matter? A lot of the applications say to list all of the high schools you attended, not just the one you graduated from…don’t want them looking into it and seeing how poorly I did. On the other hand, if they don’t look into actual grades, they might just see that I was willing to try new things, sort of. Kinda worried about it.</p>
<p>Do you live in-state, and would you dorm? And would you join the Honors program if you’re invited and accepted?</p>
<p>I think I can see them giving you at least half tuition ? maybe, I mean, I don’t know what your grades are really like (rank and stuff). Also word is, they’re gradually giving less and less financial aid because the applicant pool has gotten competitive recently.</p>
<p>I do live in state, of course, as I listed my Regents exams and stated I go to school on Long Island, after all. 
Probably would dorm, it’s a bit of a drive to Brooklyn every day.</p>
<p>Honors program I would also join of course, and their accelerated BS/MS degree program, if possible. </p>
<p>I honestly don’t know my actual class ranking myself, to be honest. That’s always a tricky business considering kids who take easy classes can still do well compared to those who take challenging, AP courses and all. I think I should be finding out within a week or two though. I should be near the top, in any case. I’m one of the few people who has a clue in many of my classes… but as noted, standardized tests wise, Regents/AP/SATs are all listed above.</p>
<p>Hopefully it’s not too competitive now, compared to say, the scores reported on the collegeboard site; because I would really like to go there, but if it does come down to having to pay a lot, I might end up at a SUNY school like Stony Brook or Binghamton. I just don’t have the money to do much else.</p>
<p>I just received the dean’s application in the mail today. I noticed that the deadline for a fee-waived app is Dec 15. If I choose to apply with the waiver through Common App, should I apply early action (2/05/11) since it’s the closest date without EDing?</p>
<p>Hahaha well a few of my friends lived in NJ and commuted to high schools to NYC so I thought I’d ask for clarification You don’t have to be in Honors to do BS/MS, but cool. I honestly think you’d get like 26k+ from merit aid, and a bit of federal aid for being in-state. I don’t want to exaggerate or understate, and it’s really hard to say what financial aid you’d be qualified for since it’s been two years since I’ve applied to colleges. You can try calling Poly and asking to speak to an admissions counselor. Just say you want a real merit aid estimate based on your scores/credentials… worst case scenario, they tell you they can’t tell you lol. The number is 1-800-POLYTECH.</p>
<p>NYU-Poly doesn’t do early decision; it’s non-binding. Also, last year, if you applied using the Common App and wanted your app fee waived, you had to email Admissions at <a href=“mailto:uadmit@poly.edu”>uadmit@poly.edu</a> telling them that you’ve applied online and want your fee waived. I’m sorry I can’t give you a clearer answer, but I transferred out of working for Admissions this past summer to take up a job in another dept within Poly. lol</p>
<p>I called, and they said that they wouldn’t take common app for a Dean’s Application. Of course, this was after I filled out the common app in its entirety. Needless to say, I was thrilled…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I sent an email to <a href=“mailto:uadmit@poly.edu”>uadmit@poly.edu</a> and they responded telling me to choose “College Board Fee Waiver Request” as payment and to send in the app by the Dec. deadline if I chose to apply through CA.</p>
<p>I guess the person who I spoke to is an idiot. I, too, am going to go through Common App. Just waiting on my October SAT scores. Hoping to bring my Math up from a 650 :/</p>
<p>I have to say…Poly’s keeping me (First year) almost as busy as Stuyvesant did while the friends that I tutored in a high school where the average SAT is around 2070 are currently breezing through cornell engineering…Anyway, are you in the honors program static? maybe we can chill sometime :D</p>
<p>I am a sophomore at the New York City Tech the next door cuny school to NYU Poly. lol i was there only to raise my college gpa to transfer to a good engineering school because i did not have to take SAT or ACT since i did my hs in another country. i secured a 3.95 gpa and got admitted to poly '11 spring as transfer for BS in CE. poly gave me fin aid package close to arnd 22k. i also got in to SUNY stonybrook with a full ride. i still have to hear from RPI. i really want to know if it is a good decision to chose poly over these schools? and do they give any more merit based scholarships after i enroll and maintain a good academic standing? also now that i have 36 transfered credits, will i be able to graduate in 2.5 years from now by taking summer classes?</p>
<p>If I apply using the Dean’s Application, will I also have to apply to NYU using a different application to apply for the dual-degree mathematics and computer engineering program? Or do I just apply to Poly, and then it counts for the NYU application? Would any merit aid I receive from Poly be used towards my NYU totals, our would it only be used for the 2 years spent at Poly? If I attended and took part in the dual degree and ran cross country/track for the school, would I run for NYU or Poly?</p>
<p>Also, I know I got the deans app in the mail, because i looked through it. However, my mom just informed me that she threw it out because she thought i wasnt interested… 
is there anyway to get a new one mailed to me that you know of? I’m going to contact admissions as well, because they should have a list of who they sent it out to, right?</p>
<p>thanks for your help<3</p>
<p>Imhilion! I’m in Honors…I’m a nerd too! 2290 SAT. Who ARE you? I probably haven’t met you yet, because I generally can’t be found at the Honors Lounge.</p>
<p>kannan089…you should NEGOTIATE. 
You may appeal for financial aid, because no one’s stopping you. Just visit sometime and be like, “listen. I got a full ride. Can you compete? If not, I’m going elsewhere.” I feel like an in-person appeal would be stronger, to be honest. And since you’re in the neighborhood anyway, why not? Even if you don’t end up going elsewhere it can’t hurt; the odds of you bumping into Admissions people is pretty slim if you end up attending. After you enroll though, usually your merit aid won’t go up. </p>
<p>tbonesx3: NYU-Poly and NYU currently have two entirely separate admissions processes. Merit aid is also completely diff. Poly is easier for merit aid, whereas NYU is rather notoriously stingy. 
The dual program sounds NYU-ish - at least, the math part. CompE is very much within Poly’s zone. I’m not famil with the dual program at all. My guess is, it’s the school you’d start out in. So, probably NYU. Ask though FINALLY, yes call admissions they generally have a process for prospective students who don’t use the Dean’s App but want to count as Dean’s Applicants haha.</p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>
<p>The biggest draw of the dual program is that if your stats are sufficiently high enough for both CAS/Courant as well as poly, you can receive a DUAL scholarship from both NYU and poly which can potentially cover 80-100% of your entire tuition. I have a friend who travels between poly and Washington Square throughout the week majoring in CBE at poly and Biology at CAS. According to him, the education at poly is actually superior to what he’s gotten from the first semester at CAS mostly due to the EG workload that’s comparable to stuy homework assignments e.e.</p>
<p>@static75</p>
<p>I’m also rarely found in the honors lounge lol, honestly I think the really most of the really bright kids aren’t ever in the honors lounge except a few like Rob the White Supremacist. All I ever hear in there is open mockery of people that are (unbeknownst to them) super successful whackjobs, such as one really young CEO and even the eccentric creator of a regenerative gel tissue that WILL revolutionize traumatic hemorrhaging medicine once he patents the stuff (IT WORKS, IT’S LIKE A MASS-PRODUCIBLE SKIN GRAFT ) Usually you can hear me playing/making rock covers on the piano in Dibner, talking with some blond russian dude in the regna lounge/cafe about philosophy, politics, and physics, or if you really want to find me… I’m the asian heavyweight on the judo team :D.</p>
<p>hey,
I am wandering what is the deadline of application??
the webside didnt say clearly about the regular apply deadline ???
I know the the early action is FEB or Mar, and how long will i receive the rezult if i apply EA.</p>
