<p>I just came back from orientation and did not get the classes that I wanted. I went to the last orientation session, which meant most classes were full. </p>

<p>Economic Principles I (Policy) is full. I'm like number 90 on the waiting list… I signed up for Economic Principles II (Policy), which I hear is like AP MICRO. I rather take Principles I first, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do, right? Is it like the AP’s where it didn’t matter which you took first?</p>

<p>Any of the interesting Honors Collegiate/Seminars, which I am required to take because I am a Presidential Honors Scholar are full.
I really wanted to take the COSEM-UA 108 Matter, Dark Matter, & Dark Energy one but it was completely full when I tried to sign up. Is there anything proactive that I can do to get into this class? What department is in charge of the seminars? Who do I email? I want to take this damn course. Is any attempt futile?</p>

<p>Also, I got put into MATH-UA 121 which is Calculus I. It says under the description:
Prerequisite: SAT math score of 750, an ACT math score of 34, an AP score of 5 on the AB exam, an AP score of 3 on the BC exam, a C or higher in Algebra and Calculus (MATH-UA.0009) at NYU, or a departmental placement exam. Derivatives, antiderivatives, and integrals of functions of one variable. Applications include graphing, maximizing, and minimizing functions. Definite integrals and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Areas and volumes.</p>

<p>I didn’t get a 750, didn’t take the ACT, and did not take the AP AB exam. I never even took the class AP Calc BC. Is this class a level after AP CALC BC? My academic coordinator had to approve me manually, or something when we registered for classes because I did not meet the prerequisites- as in, I couldn’t sign up by myself. So did she manually let me bypass the prerequisites and take this class? Unless this is a class for kids that have already completed AP CALC BC, I think I can do it.
Will there be any complications since I do not meet the prerequisites but am in the class? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>There is ample time to complete all the required courses, just take what you can get for now and do the rest in subsequent semesters. It’s just the first semester of college, there are 8 semesters altogether so no need to get paranoid just yet! lol</p>
