Err, sorry, that’s what I meant - Stern students can only get a producing minor in Tisch; there isn’t a producing minor in Stern.

The only thing about AP credits is that you kind of have to be careful with applying them. Since Stern doesn’t let you out of many reqs with APs, you end up applying the credits as electives… which also means you’re going to eat into the elective credits you’d need to use for your producing minor without going way over the 128 credit limit where financial aid stops.

Don’t worry - it’s not too hard to get around that. If you get over 128 credits and still have classes left to take that you need in order to graduate, you can continue getting financial aid. You’ve just got to plan ahead.

Also, there’s one trick you can use to get good registration times for classes in your sophomore year… study abroad in the fall! It’s pretty easy to get into most study abroad classes, and your registration time is the earliest day at NYU (though it doesn’t make much of a difference as everyone studying abroad is registering at the same time). However, when you’re registering for classes you’ll take when you get back to NYC, you ALSO get to register on the first day. Oh, yeah, added bonus if you’re studying abroad in the fall - you can also pretty much pick what dorm you want to live in when you come back in the spring. It’s a pretty good deal.
