<p>Taken from the NYU admissions site:</p>
<p>"Our policy concerning transfer credit for high school students who are taking college-level courses while in high school is changing. We will no longer grant credit for college courses that also satisfy high school graduation requirements."</p>
<p>Does this include AP classes? Tell me it doesn't.</p>
<p>it probably includes AP classes but it says it wont use it for a class that also meets high school grad requirements. does that mean if you take an AP class but don't need it to graduate then they'll take the credits? O.o</p>
<p>Wait, never mind. I just figured something out. Once again, taken from their admissions site: </p>
<p>"NYU awards credit for the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) examinations for scores of 4 and 5 on most examinations."</p>
<p>"If you have completed college courses while in high school (either during the summer or during the school year), we generally grant credit if you received a grade of "B" or better in the courses, and if the courses are similar to courses offered at NYU (Exception: We do not grant credit for college courses that are also being used to satisfy high school graduation requirements)."</p>
<p>So I'm guessing they regard AP and college-level classes differently. Phew. Okay, tragedy gone.</p>
<p>Ugh that sucks, because I took Intro to Economics and American Government over the summer, but it satisfied graduation requirements. Darn.</p>
<p>Yup, Im taking all my classes at a local CC for graduation credit. Looks like none of them will count. bummer.</p>
<p>Ugh, well at least I took mine for free, I guess.</p>
<p>Yup, mine were free too.</p>
<p>Dang, but that's still so frustrating! I was all excited to get out of some 101 courses...</p>
<p>what about IB courses?</p>
<p>Guys, they take IB and AP course credit still if you score amazingly.
They are just talking about dual credit courses; this means that if you take classes at a community college in order to satisfy your high school course requirements, the credit gained from these classes will not be transferred to NYU. </p>
<p>So if you take American Government for high school by taking a community college course, you cannot transfer that American Government credit to NYU.</p>
<p>Yup, which sucks for me because I could technically have a year of college done, as I will have that many college credits at the end of this year.</p>
