Is it true that you have to take at least 3-4 years of history in order to get into NYU? If so, say you took 2 years of history instead. Will NYU reject you? Thanks
It’s not required, but strongly recommended. Also, it doesn’t have to be just history. Other social studies count too, like government, sociology, or economics
It won’t make them reject you automatically, especially if you have lots of other core classes and aren’t planning on majoring in social studies.
Here’s a guide: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/college-university-search/new-york-university
History/social studies: 3 years required; 4 years recommended.
