stern transfer math requirement

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>I am a freshmen thinking of taking Calc I next semester to fulfill stern's transfer requirement(they don't take AP credits IIRC?).
The problem is I am eligible to take Calc III at my curren school because I got a 5 on AP Calc BC.
But I really don't like math at ALL and just want to have a review of Calc and fulfill the transfer requirement.
Will Stern look down on this?</p>

<p>My other classes for the spring semester are:
Intermediate Macro Theory
Intermediate Japanese II (3rd year level)
Freshmen Writing Seminar
Principles of Accounting</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>What school do you go to? I go to Rutgers and I heard that Calculus 3 here is easier than Calculus 1 and 2, so you should definitely check on that first. Noone can answer you for sure about whether Stern would look down upon that or not. I recommend posting this on the official NYU forums where you will get an answer from an administrator. But, I would assume they do look upon it. I understand you don’t like math that much, but you must have some sort of affinity for it, seeing as you got a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam.</p>

<p>Also, I’m planning on transferring to NYU Stern for Fall '10 as well. Well, planning on applying, that is. Hello, competition. :)</p>

<p>I go to Tufts…will definately ask around and then decide which class to take!
Thanks!</p>

<p>Just call admissions and ask instead of posting on the board. You’ll get an immediate answer and you won’t have to give your name.</p>

<p>The fact that you got a 5 in the AP BC, yet you don’t like math, is rather impressive. Nicely done.</p>

<p>May I ask how many credit hours you have for your spring semester? I think you need to complete 30-32 credit hours one year in order to be considered:)</p>

<p>And, i am in the same situation as you for Calc 1. I have transfered credits for Calc 1 and Calc 2. Why do you think Stern will look down on retaking Calc 1?</p>

<p>id go with calc3 just to show stern ur good at math, they like ppl who are.</p>

i tried calling but the admissions officer wasn’t very helpful…</p>

thanks! but my class grade sucked (B-/C+) lol</p>

tufts is weird because one class only gets you 1 credit.
i should have a total of 8.5 credits after my spring semester
so if 1 credit @ tufts = 4 credits @ NYU, I will have 34 credits.</p>

<p>I think they will look down on retaking Calc I just because that’s the minimum requirement.
plus since we’ve got credits for both Calc I & II, they might think we’re taking it easy?</p>

thanks. i will probably take Calc III first then drop down if i find it too time consuming.</p>
