<p>Shadowzoid, You have to check into the matter of AP credits and the ones that NYU LSP will accept. I will dig up the website for you about AP credits NYU will accept, if you want.</p>
<p>Sonny had 24 AP credits accepted. If he had taken the two AP exams he could have taken after completing the AP courses senior year in high school, he could have gotten a whole year’s credit (32) from NYU. But sonny does not want to graduate early, so the AP credits give him more flexibility and a lighter load freshman year as he adjusts and also leaves time to absorb the “goodies” provided by NYC living. </p>
<p>So, sonny actually took a relatively easy schedule because he wants to do other things outside of school, primarily music. He is thinking pre-law, with history or East Asian Studies major right now.</p>
<p>Fall Semester Freshman Year:</p>
<p>1) Texts and Ideas - 4 credits (MAP requirement)
2) Chinese I - 4 credits (the killer course for him because he was with native-speaking Chinese students) (MAP Foreign Language requirement, first of two years required; sonny could have exempted out of this requirement by taking the AP French exam but he chose not to).
3) Freshman Honors Seminar - 4 credits
4) Music Class from Tisch Open Arts Curriculum - 2 credits
5) MLK Scholar Seminar - 0 credit but weekly meeting</p>
<p>Spring Semester Freshman Year:</p>
<p>1) Writing the Essay - 4 credits (MAP requirement)
2) Chinese I - 4 credits (MAP Foreign Language requirement, cont.)
3) Japanese History course, not sure which one (4 credits)
4) Music Theory (2 credits)
5) Music Course, Private Lesson in Vocal Training (2 credits)
6) MLK Scholar Weekly Seminar - 0 credit</p>

<p>Sonny had no musical training background before entering NYU. He loves music. Which he takes fairly seriously. Maybe making a little side money from this later on.</p>
<p>Hope this helps you, but remember sonny has ha a “fairly” easygoing schedule due to his 24 AP credits (helps to spread the requirements out more).</p>
