Transfer to NYU...too many credits?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>After screwing up in HS (~2.5 gpa), I managed to receive a 3.95 GPA after 88 credits at a community college.</p>

<p>Most of the courses I took are "rigorous" liberal arts like History, Literature, Writing Classes, Bio, Chem, etc...</p>

<p>I essentially used my community college's transfer guide for the University of Michigan when I chose my classes.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I have 88 credits because of the foreign language classes and Math pre-requisites (I just finished a Calculus with applications class) that I had to take. I am certain that NYU won't transfer these credits but I am worried that the admissions officers will not accept me because I took too many classes at the community college. </p>

<p>Is this going to be a problem? Can I just forfeit my basic Math and foreign language classes and still transfer?</p>

<p>Beyond my 3.95 GPA, I also have great ECs. I have held a few internships and worked in Washington DC for a political non profit. I was also recently a candidate for public office.</p>

<p>I also volunteer my time with inner city youth and I recently assisted overseas in Africa on a spring break.</p>

<p>Please let me know what my chances are.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Also, I did not take the SAT because NYU's website says they won't consider standardized tests taken after HS.</p>

<p>Wrong forum. Post this in the Transfer Students forum.</p>
