<p>I am looking to apply as a transfer of Civil Engineering to NYU Poly. Does anyone know what are the required courses one needs to have taken in college before applying to this major? Thanks.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say you are required to take them before you transfer, but you should have taken Calc 1, Calc 2, and Physics 1 in order to stay on track. General Chemistry, an intro General Engineering course, and a MATLAB or Python course will also help but these can be made up along the way.</p>
<p>Here is the CE curriculum: [url=<a href=“http://www.scribd.com/jimbo113453/d/95254925-CE#fullscreen]CE[/url”>http://www.scribd.com/jimbo113453/d/95254925-CE#fullscreen]CE[/url</a>]</p>
<p>Jimbo, thank you so much for the information. I have applied to a few universities as a CE transfer and most of them had a list of required courses. I am only going to have Calc 1 and 2 and Physics 1 before Fall and hopefully that is enough.</p>
<p>can attend regular nyu and nyu poly at the same time?</p>
<p>Students at NYU-Poly can take classes at NYU Washington Square and vice versa. They can attend each other’s events and use each other’s resources. The main question is what do you want to study? If you want to study engineering, you should apply to NYU-Poly. If you want to study pure sciences such as physics, chemistry, or biology, you should apply to NYU’s College of Arts and Science (CAS). However, Poly does offer Applied Physics (with a nuclear minor) and Biomolecular Science (with a chemistry concentration) which are more applied programs which can be used as backups, since Poly does not receive as many applications as CAS. There is also a 3-2 program where you can receive two degrees from CAS and Poly. The first 3 years are spent studying pure sciences or mathematics at CAS, and the remaining two are spent taking engineering coursework at Poly. This program is more difficult to get into, but look into it if you are interested. Also, Poly students can take minors at other NYU schools as well.</p>
<p>Hey, I have been looking into NYU-poly lately, and was wondering how your physics and engineering program was? When will NYU-poly fully merge into an NYU school?? I am interested in science/engineering but I am pre-med. Is it very uncommon to be pre-med there? Would rpi be a better choice?? I am looking to apply as a transfer to poly from Florida state university (I hate it here; too many morons, and university of Florida won’t accept transfers without 60 credits). </p>
<p>I appreciate any info you have!</p>
<p>It has been confirmed by the school authorities that the Polytechnic Institute is on the path to being completely consolidated into New York University by 2013, similar to that of NYU College of Arts and Sciences, Stern School of Business, Tisch School of Arts, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, Gallatin School of Individualized Study, and other NYU schools.</p>
<p>-Wikipedia.</p>
<p>@ physics2016: A lot of the people who study BMS (biomolecular science) here as freshmen find themselves dissatisfied and transferring back out. They want to do pre-med too, but feel like they don’t belong in an engineering school and want something more liberal arts related. I just know that last year’s freshmen in BMS were scurrying to transfer out because I think they didn’t realize that NYU-Poly is first and foremost an engineering school…everything else is secondary. In the future, it may be better, because that year freshmen weren’t allowed to take courses at NYU (way to add insult to injury) but I think this year and next is a go.</p>
<p>I’m interested in applying to NYU poly but i’m scared that the curriculum here especially in engineering is hardcore and it’s going to be hard to handle. But I want to know if i can be accepted to Poly with these stats… or through HEOP. hould i apply to HEOP or regular admission?
SAT: critical reading 430 (might retake), Math: 670, Writing : 560
GPA: 92 out of 95 which is roughly about 3.8?
extracurricular activties: leadership in clubs, volunteer at prep schools, math honors society, tutor kids in math… etc.
AP courses: AP calculus BC and AP chem
Low income student… will my financial aid be enough to cover all the expenses?</p>
<p>I would try to raise the SAT some more. Even with HEOP, it will be a bit of a reach. The admissions has gotten much more competitive and the standards get tougher every year.</p>
<p>Really? what would you suggest i should do? or need to improve on?</p>
<p>Try increasing your Critical Reading score some more. That will give you a much better chance of getting in through HEOP. Writing score is ignored so don’t worry about that. The GPA and high school credentials look good.</p>
<p>Hey Static75 my name is kevin Low, im 17 years old, and I would like to apply to poly, I heard you work there, so i was wondering if you could help me, by answering some of the questions i have.</p>
<p>Well mainly I come from Venezuela, However i was born in the states.</p>
<p>I went to a science high school, and i have a science high school diploma.
In Venezuela we only have 3 years of high school instead of 4 like in the states. So I only took 3 years of each course i could take.</p>
<p>Here are my stats.</p>
<p>I have a GPA of 3.6
I am in the top 5 of my class, but in my class we are only 25 people.
I took mostly science courses, which are the only ones we can take. I would like to add that in Venezuela we dont have a really big variety of classes to choose of. However this are the classes that I took in my high school years.</p>
<p>3 years of math
3 years of biology
3 years of chemisty and psychics
3 years of english
3 years of spanish literature
3 years of history</p>
<p>I have many Ecs</p>
<p>I swam for 3 years in the school
I played tennis for about 5 years.
I played voley ball at school for 2 years.
I Hiked for 1 year in the school too
I played the piano for about 5 years
I have done a lot of community service around 70 hours or more in my senior years, by teaching elders how to use today’s technology mainly computers. Besides of that i have more hours done in previous years.
I worked for about 1 year in my school model of united nations. I have some credentials that might prove that.
I have a lot of work experience, I use to work in my parents restaurant as a cashier. I have at least 5 or 6 years of experience.</p>
<p>Something about me.</p>
<p>I can speak 5 different languages, which are spanish, english, french, mandarin and cantonese.I have some credentiales that might prove my French lvl too, they are the delf and dalf diplomas.</p>
<p>I am a very multicultural person, because of the fact, that I was born in the united States, and I was raised in Venezuela, and my Chinese heritage.</p>
<p>I have another few questions, that i would appreciate if you could answer them.</p>
<p>I am going to apply for the spring semester. Is it easier to get accepted in the spring semester as an undergrad? because there is a lot less people who apply? or is the same? </p>
<p>I would like to apply for the chemical engineering major, Bio-medic engineering, or biomolecular sciences. Are this fields really competitive i mean with competitive if there is a lot of people who apply for this kind of majors.</p>
<p>Another question, how much do you guys expect from an international student to get in the SAT? i have to say that I am a really bad test taker. I have met some people who got accepted in Poly with really bad scores in the SAt like 1100 and 1300, however that is not my goal, i would like to make my best and score the highest i can, but im not really sure if i might get a high score.</p>
<p>Im planning to take the toefl too.</p>
<p>And the last question, what do you think about my posibilities to get into poly??? </p>
<p>I would appreciate a lot if you could answer all this questions. 
And sorry for bodering you with this bunch of questions.</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
<p>tho sorry i putted this message here, it was the only way, because i wanted to send you a private message but I couldn’t it said that your inbox is full :S</p>
<p>Hi Static75, i received my dean application in the mail a few weeks ago, i was wondering if Mechanical Engineering would be a good major to choose at poly</p>
<p>Ok I am probably going to apply to nyu poly and I visited the campuses a couple weeks ago. Nyu’ campus is in the heart of nyc where as poly is in Brooklyn (I’m from jersey and Yankees fan 
) . I just wanted to know if it feels different from the actual nyu campus, do you still share classes? I’ve been around Brooklyn a lot and it’s fine but it just doesnt feel like a place you’d want to go to college… am I right or wrong?</p>
<p>I am currently an undergraduate student at a community college. This is my third semester and I am looking to transfer to NYU-poly in the spring. I just had several questions that I was hoping someone could try their best to answer for me. To make my super long story short, I had never intended on going to a community college, I was accepted to a four-year school for architecture, but after discovering they were not accredited, I was forced to go to community college because it was too late for me to apply to another school. Next, I obviously no longer intend on majoring in architecture, I’m now interested in Civil Engineering. My current major is a Liberal Arts major with a focus on math and sciences because it allows me to take more general courses. I recently applied to NYU-poly as a civil engineering major. I’m starting to get nervous from this forum because my SAT scores are not as good as they probably should be, I received a 1590, 540 on reading, 530 on math, and 520 on writing. I am curious as to if SAT scores are a huge factor in transfer students applications? I actually don’t think that I need to send them in because I’ve completed 31 credits. I had a 3.6 GPA in high school and currently have a 3.81 cumulative GPA for my past two semesters at school. I’m going to be slightly behind in curriculum when I transfer due to credits possibly not transferring and because I haven’t taken any engineering courses at my current college. I am a member of Phi Theta Kappa, which is a honor society at two-year colleges. It requires a minimum GPA and I actively participate in their activities and events. I’m really starting to think that NYU-poly is quite a reach school for me, but I want to go there so badly. I’ve also had some family problems which have lead to me staying home for so long, which I know obviously can’t have much of an affect on my chances because that doesn’t reflect in my application. I’m just getting very nervous and I’m hoping that someone would possibly be able to give me some insight into transfer student admissions and my actual chance of getting accepted.</p>
<p>Hey yankeesfan,</p>
<p>I’m from Jersey too. Brooklyn Heights is more cultured and um, for lack of a better word, fancy than the other parts of Brooklyn. It’s becoming “fancier” still due to lots of business revitalization and development projects in the area. Some say that its outdoor campus is nicer than NYU’s. I think I agree. Short of a dog park, rofl, ours is way better than Manhattan’s outdoor campus. And less smelly than Manhattan’s. For real.</p>
<p>That being said, the actual school is basically two buildings attached into one, and then the Library/auditorium is a separate building. Poly is in the process of expanding into other buildings in the Metrotech area (i.e. ‘around the quad’), and it’s looking good. We basically own entire floors of certain multipurpose skyscrapers in Metrotech.</p>
<p>You can take basically any classes you want at NYU, but only basically the humanities courses will count towards your required credits for graduation. By the time you arrive at NYU-Poly, should you choose to attend it, we’ll be a fully integrated part of NYU, like Stern and Tisch, etc. etc. And I won’t be there anymore. Boooo 
haha… I think you might like it though. Your college experience at NYU-Poly will be much better and hopefully of a much higher quality than my last four years were, though I don’t regret attending for a minute. :)</p>
<p>An email went out today from John Sexton and the Board of Trustees. The merger of Polytechnic into NYU as its School of Engineering has been confirmed to be completed by September 2014. </p>
<p>"We are pleased to share with you the news that New York University and the Polytechnic Institute of NYU have agreed to move ahead with the remaining set of steps necessary for Poly formally to become the School of Engineering of NYU.</p>
<p>When we announced the affiliation of the two institutions in 2008, it was with the conviction that the two institutions would be far stronger connected than either would be on its own. This decision to join NYU was a forward-looking act on the part of many at Polytechnic to put the long-term benefit of Polytechnic over shorter-term interests.</p>
<p>For Poly, it meant a connection to a major research university with an extensive basic science research agenda and great strength in the social sciences, humanities, and professions. For NYU, it meant the re-establishment of a capability for applied science, technology, and engineering a capability it had not had since the closing of the Heights Campus in the early 1970s and all the energizing benefits those disciplines would bring to its existing areas of scholarship.</p>
<p>And the wisdom of that partnership has been borne out. We have seen many new research collaborations between faculty; we have experienced growing involvement by students from each school with the other in a wide range of academic and co-curricular pursuits; we have been able to use NYU-Polys expertise in engineering education to build engineering courses into the global network; we were successful in gaining City approval for our new applied science institute the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) in large measure because of the strength NYU and NYU-Polys partnership brought to the proposal; we have a growing presence in the vibrant borough of Brooklyn; and we are able to imagine and plan for new and otherwise unachievable possibilities for scientific research and education across the University because of the presence of an engineering and technology capability.</p>
<p>Moreover, we have been heartened by the considerable institutional momentum that Polytechnic has made over the past four years: substantial increases in applicants for admission; improvement in academic qualifications of admitted students; success in recruiting new faculty at the top of their fields; numerous new research grants won; and the development of new and renovated academic space.</p>
<p>Given this progress and interaction, the time has come to set into motion the final steps of the transformation of NYU-Poly into NYUs Polytechnic School of Engineering. We intend to move forward promptly to seek the approvals and endorsements that are required to achieve this transition, including consulting with the Faculty Senators Council and the Senate Academic Affairs Committee at NYU, the Faculty Executive Committee at Poly, and other members of the universities communities; conducting due diligence; and seeking applicable regulatory approvals. This process is expected to be completed sometime before the start of the 2014-15 academic year.</p>
<p>President Jerry Hultin has played a major role in this transition. Since he first assumed Polys presidency in 2005, he has remained steadfastly focused on and dedicated to Polys advancement. He was a key leader of the effort to build this successful partnership between the two universities. With a record of achievements at Poly and the school now poised to become NYUs School of Engineering, Jerry is eager to take on his next challenge and new responsibilities as a Senior Presidential Fellow for New York University. To that end, Jerry has asked to take a sabbatical in order to begin to study the role of technology in delivering education and the role of innovation in enhancing economic growth and the quality of life around the world. During this time, Provost K.R. Sreenivasan will serve as Acting President, although Jerry will continue to represent Polytechnic in official functions until a new president is appointed. In addition, Sreeni will continue to chair the search committee for the next President of the Polytechnic Institute of NYU and the first Dean of Engineering at NYUs newest School. Upon appointment of Polytechnics next president, Sreeni will take on a new role at NYU, working with all deans – including Polytechnics – and other University leaders on long-term academic, financial, and operational strategies for the wide range of applied science, engineering and technology activities at NYU.</p>
<p>We offer our special thanks to Jerry, and to our many colleagues too many to list here across both institutions who have worked with such devotion and energy to conceive of this affiliation, bring it into being, nurture it, and bring us to this step.</p>
<p>We will keep you apprised of our progress as we move forward in completing this historic transition and the day when Polytechnic is officially recognized as a school of New York University."</p>
