<p>Any of you know of this school? Any response will be most welcome. Does anyone know their acceptance rate? </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Isn't that part of SCPS? That's NYU's adult ed school, for adults who have been out of school for a while and want to re-enter.</p>
<p>What the heck is this? I go to NYU and have never even heard of it.</p>
<p>It is intended for adults. Matth is correct.</p>
<p>Here are the admission criteria - One of the following must be presented for evaluation:</p>
<ol>
<li> Most recent college transcript showing 15 or more credits earned in the past 5 years from an accredited college or university in the US, and with a cum GPA of 2.75/4.00.</li>
<li> A combined SAT score of at least 1100</li>
<li> A completed McGhee admissions test with a passing score.</li>
</ol>
<p>This is similar to the general studies program at Columbia. I question the validity of the degree granted, each class is worth 4 credits and are offered once a week. I believe the degrees granted by McGhee are more for personal satisfaction, as the program is geared towards working adults returning back to school.
Either way I wouldn't consider applying since the course selection is limited, and students are not allowed to take elective courses with regular NYU Students.</p>
<p>Ex-convict</a> graduates NYU - Features</p>
<p>I question how good the program is when a convicted murderer graduates with honors lol.</p>
<p>No, it has actually very little in common with the GS program at Columbia - unlike Columbia, classes at McGhee are separated and taught by different instructors. While most classes at CAS are also 4 credits (& some even 5 - 6 credits), it’s true that classes at McGhee are less rigorous and taught by less-qualified instructors. Most students are working adults looking for personal satisfaction, but there’s also fair amount of students looking to advance their education (graduate school) / career.</p>
<p>The major/course selection is extremely limited, but students at McGhee are <em>allowed</em> to cross-register at other schools and some do transfer out after their 1st or 2nd year - just be aware that they may not accept all transfer credits from McGhee.</p>
