<p>I am not intimidated, just trying to figure out if it means 5 year plan. NYU doesnt care what anything costs. Yes, Fordham has a bigger core, but it is fairer. NYU has two courses they wont waive, texts and cultures. I wouldnt be sure NYU would accomodate anything.</p>

<p>I’ve applied to Steinhardt/MCC as well and the few times I’ve contacted the office they basically said the same thing you did. I remember hearing one say “by the 2nd week of May” or “you should call the office around May 10th”
I don’t think this applies to everyone…Steinhardt/MCC isn’t as competitive as Stern or Tisch and this major doesn’t require a portfolio or audition.
I’ve made sure they have all my app info so I’m just left here going crazy with the wait…</p>
<p>As far as the MAP plan goes, it’s pretty similar to what most universities have as general-education requirements. And, my advisor pushed me to finish my gen-eds first because they’re the most likely requirements to translate.
I mean, the worst thing I’m worried about is the writing requirement. I’ve fulfilled them at my school but NYU is kind of strict so we still get to take an exam! Joy.</p>
<p>Hey just a question guys…where in the NYU Albert thing that lists what you are missing. It seems like ages for the notifications to arrive, but I wanted to make sure if I was missing anything. Anyways, when I’m in the application status tab of Albert, it only shows the intended term, program, academic plan, admit type, notification plan, and application date of the application I sent in.</p>
<p>If i can take my pre-med courses and core econ courses sophomore and junior year, and then do my language requirement in my senior year, I guess I’d be fine with that, because I don’t really want to split my attention in my years leading up to MCAT.</p>
<p>GMAT doesn’t require any pre-med studying obviously so I’m not worried that much about it.</p>
<p>Desimunda, I respectfully disagree, NYU Morse may be similiar, but has significant differences from other schools. It includes at least two courses that can not be waived. It has 2 science, not one, and more humanities. Also 2 years of a foreign language, not one. Maybe you think an extra semester is a joke, I dont. If they would get admits done soon, I could do summer. Do they care? Apparently not.</p>
<p>Football, NYU requires 2 years of a language. Do you think as a senior you would remember enough HS language to place out of one year? also, btw, I think GMAT does require studying. But heah, thats just what I hear.</p>
<p>monoclide - why r u leaving Fordham?</p>
<p>ditsiness - That’s what I see too! I got an email about missing items, so I called and I was told nothing was missing. If you haven’t already, I’d suggest you call the office tomorrow just to make sure everything is in your file.</p>
<p>Wow, I completely forgot to apply for Financial Aid at NYU. I did my FAFSA in February, from when I filed for USC, but I never added NYU on there. </p>
<p>Ugh. Prepared to not get any money from them…</p>
<p>@kayf</p>
<p>Yeah, I mean, I gotta prepare for the GMAT, but its nowhere near as intense as the MCAT, at least from the practice questions that I tried for both. I don’t mean to sound overconfident, but with just pure studying, the MCAT doesn’t seem that hard at least imo.</p>
<p>2 years of language? wow :[ idk what I’m gonna do then, maybe if I could get a DECISION I could then assess my options.</p>
<p>oops, my bad, agree as to GMAT. Miswrote, thinking of MCATs. knew you were premed. </p>
<p>Yes, if I got a decision, NOW, I could go to NYU summer school. tick.tock.tick.tock. That is fast dissappearing as an option.</p>
<p>I thought it was common for most schools to have course requirements (particularly for language)?</p>
<p>idk, we have to take all sorts of extraneous courses here, so I guess maybe I’m just used to it.</p>
<p>I think the Morse Plan is somewhat a NYU institution. I dont know of any other school that has non-waivable classes (if someone tells me that NYU does allow waivers of Texts and Cultures, please weigh in). Add that to two years of a language, you can easily be talking about an extra semester. Which if you are planning on professsional school, means a year delay (what can be done in the missing semester? beats me.</p>
<p>@Kayf </p>
<p>NYU doesn’t require two YEARS of language it’s two semesters. At least for my program.
Yes, there are some courses that can’t be waived (I know of some of those at my school too)
If you have taken the equivalent of Texts & Cultures at your home school NYU will waive it. However, even if you’ve taken equivalent of all writing at your current school you have to take the proficiency exam (since we’re transfers) to make sure you can skip them or whether you need further improvement.
My school and many others require two sciences.
I don’t think an extra semester is a joke (though I do admit I’d be happy enough getting into NYU that I’d be willing to overlook it) because it’s not likely I’d have to add much more. Worst comes to worst, I would contest my courses by looking at the catalog. </p>
<p>Note: I’m transferring in as junior so I’m getting out of most of these. A lot of my gen eds are the same a other schools, I can say the same for NYU.</p>
<p>I took French II in freshman year and French III in my sophomore year in high school. Does this mean I can take 2 semesters only? or is it 2 years? Thats not that bad if I can take them both my senior year.</p>
<p>Des – that is so clearly not WHAT NYU says. Texts and Cultures can not be wavived. They says two years of a language (if no placement) and NO subs for texts and culturs. But they do say other college courses can get you out of english. What makes you think you also need an exam. </p>
<p>Here is what they say re exemptions</p>
<p>[Exemptions</a> and Proficiency Exams, CAS MAP | NYU](<a href=“http://map.cas.nyu.edu/page/exemptionsprofexams]Exemptions”>http://map.cas.nyu.edu/page/exemptionsprofexams)</p>
<p>I am not willing to enroll without a committment. I have 70 credits as of end of this semester. Guess that means another school. I would be willing to go to summer school, but tick tock, tick tock</p>
<p>Football, 3 years of HS french generally equals 1.5 of college, but you will have to pass a placement test. Good luck !!</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see if NYU provides information re transfer credit/MAP. If not ???</p>
<p>I’ll be honest, while I should be worried about nyu’s map requirements, I’m not. I feel like I will be transferring in a lot of credits that would cover most of the requirements and the additional requirements could be banged out as one required course each semester. If necessary, taking second summer semester courses this summer and next summer to complete… I feel like it would be doable, though annoying and unfortunately costly (But I feel like I, and most others on this forum, would be able to do it without going there for an extra semester). Though, this is all opinion without a factual basis behind it.</p>
<p>Personally, I hope I can accomplish my map courses within my junior year semesters so I don’t have to worry about additional costs these classes may incur. NYU is damn expensive to begin with…</p>
<p>Your high school French, itself, will not exempt you from the requirement. However, you can take a placement test to get out of some, or all, of it. NYU simply requires that you complete the intermediate level. Traditionally, that is taken through four semesters of class, at a half of level each semester. If you place into intermediate one, then you essentially skipped the beginner level.</p>
<p>Intensive language courses allow you to double up and take one level in one semester. If you take intensive beginners and then intensive intermediate (6 credit classes each), then you will complete intermediate level in one year (two semesters).</p>
<p>Just asked a few friends of mine at NYU. They also noted that different programs require different levels. One at Tisch isn’t required at all.</p>
<p>I’m apply to the same program as Desimundha7 and I spoke to a senior advisor when I visited NYU. I remember him saying that two years of foreign language are required. It might have been two semesters, but I don’t think so.</p>
<p>I guess I’m one of the very, very few that isn’t really concerned about MAP courses…</p>
<p>If I have to do an extra semester or take classes over the summer, that’s fine with me. I’m planning on taking classes at the community college near my house this summer anyway, so some of those may count toward required classes.
I’m not concerned about language, I planned on taking Arabic until completion and I want to pick up another language too.</p>
<p>I guess it just comes down to the fact that financially, if I had to spend an extra semester or two at NYU, I could. I’m pretty confident I won’t need to, though.</p>
<p>There’s no point in worrying now. We haven’t been accepted yet. And, if/when we are, we can always talk to advisers. They deal with these circumstances all the time. Plan out the next few years with them and see if it is even possible to graduate on time. Then start worrying!</p>
