<p>So I'll be a freshman next fall and I'm coming from a dual-enrollment focused high school. I have 60+ credits (and an AA) from Miami Dade College (not a community college, its accredited). Oh and most of these credits weren't taken to satisfy high school requirements, they're bonus. So will NYU take any of these credits? I have taken (and passed) core classes like statistics, chemistry, etc..</p>
<p>They’ll be evaluated on a case by case basis. They will take a max of 64 credits (though likely less, because they are pushy about making people take the classes at NYU). For more subjective classes (writing, english, social sciences) I would suggest having syllabi on hand so that you can show them that yes, this class was rigorous, etc. It’s probably a good idea to have access to all the syllabi just in case. However, I would bet that any classes they do take will count only as gen ed electives, and will not fulfill any graduation requirements</p>
<p>@jazzcatastrophe thanks for the insight. Most of the classes I took are gen eds so thats fine. Im just trying to get out of having to take any more math or science classes, as they dont have anything to do with my major. oh and i hate them. and btw i was admitted as a freshman, not a transfer. will that have any impact? and if you want to see my full list of college courses i would be happy to oblige. </p>
<p>I would <em>think</em> that they would be fine to get you out of math and science. I can’t say for sure because it really depends each person and each school and course, unfortunately</p>
<p>I saw you posted this on Reddit, and I replied there, but i’m also gonna post it here so people browsing the forums can see.</p>
<p>I graduated high school with 68 credits and an A.S. NYU accepted 31 of my credits. I’m not sure if there was a limit for Steinhardt, but that was just the most they could accept that satisfied my requirements (I was going from General Science to Music Technology, so most of the credits went to liberal arts, and only two courses satisfied something related to my major).
So first, they’ll look at which ones weren’t required to graduate high school (you’ll need a letter from your high school guidance counselor), then from there, they’ll evaluate each course and see if there’s an equivalent requirement for your degree.
Unfortunately, it’s not like most people with Associate’s degrees, in the sense that they can just go out and complete two more years of college. This is because you applied as a freshman and not as a transfer (which you have to do if you didn’t graduate high school yet when you applied). I know that, for example, Rutgers University would have accepted all of my credits and I would only need to do two more years, but unfortunately, NYU was the only school with the program I wanted. I was lucky to get a year off, though; it really helps to save another $60k!
So you’ll most likely get off at least a year, maybe a year and a semester if you don’t have a credit intensive major and you don’t pursue a minor or double major or anything and you take 18 credits a semester.</p>
