SMC And NYU

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>Im a junior in a California high school right now, and I am planning on taking the CHSPE (and my GED when I turn 18) to graduate early from high school so that I can start work and begin classes at SMC. I want to go to NYU for my undergrad but I have been told SMC (Santa Monica College) credits are not accepted by NYU. I'm not 100% sure if that is true, or if there are any ways around that if it is... so thats why I am here. </p>

<p>Is there a way to transfer from SMC to NYU? And does NYU take into big consideration high school grades if 64 transferable credits are earned at a community college (in this case, SMC credits)?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I’d be curious of where you’ve heard that SMCs credits don’t transfer to NYU</p>

<p>^ I second this notion. Credits won’t transfer if NYU doesn’t have equivalent classes, but I see no reason to single out SMC. </p>

<p>General rule of thumb is the longer you’ve been out of high school, the less high school grades matter.</p>
