Well, NYU has been accepting students from the same schools year in and year out and they have a record of dealing with schools they know of, especially in the NE. So, if Atlantic Cape CC has been a school where previous NYU students have received credit, then NYU may know already about their department-specific coursework, especially for something that can substitute for a core NYU requirement like Writing.

Due to the credit differential you have been inquiring about, I have suggested that you preemptively send in a course description to make sure NYU has the material to help them assess the credits to the course you took at the CC. This is based on my talk last year with NYU Advisement on behalf of my son and an advisor’s suggestion to include a course description in case of doubt over the “credit-worthiness” of the course under discussion. Moreover, my talk with the advisor last year led me to believe NYU will not “punish” you for more info. On the contrary, the more complete your file, the easier it is for NYU to make a decision on your case.
