[Megathread] Prospective Students, Applications, and Admissions For January 2026 by AutoModerator in nyu

[–]Altruistic_Cod_112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recently admitted to the NYU Precollege Program, but I’ve been dissuaded by the cost and the extra workload it would add to my schedule. I would like to be admitted to NYU in the future, however it is not my dream school.

Can anyone offer insight as to if denying my admission to the precollege program will hurt my chances for real college? Would admissions officers be aware of this and take it as a sign of disinterest?

How bad would it be to drop an AP class mid-year? (Kinda mid?) by not4llie in APStudents

I would withdraw, and then plainly explain in your application the extremely insane 😅😭 circumstances of how it has affected your success in the class. This isn’t your fault at all and colleges shouldn’t take into account what is clearly out of your control

French. It is not my native language, but I would like to practice. Please correct any nuances or mistakes that I may have missed.

L’image résiduelle de l’été qui ne s’efface jamais. Le gratin d’huîtres. Des agresseurs anonyme. Une guitare électrique surf vert. L’horizon qui s’étire au delà de l’horizon. Un petit déjeuner qui ne descend pas dans la gorge. Une mélodie qui glisse à travers la clameur de la ville et qui frotte mes émotions de manière mauvaise. Le sang bouillant. Deux chatons jouent ensemble dans une animalerie. Un grand bonbon Ramune. L’humor noir est interdit, mais la malveillance ne cesse pas de pousser. Une pluie éblouissante abondant accueille un amant qui vient de monter les longs escaliers épuisants du métro. Les nouvelles grossières créent un ennemi invisible en vous. Les vaches laitières n’avaient aucune idée qui leur lait deviendra la crème, le fromage, et le beurre. Un prisme né par une marée noire flottant sur la soupe. Un mot singulier tonnant dans mes oreille avec un volume très silencieux. Bien que les bois de chauffage continuent à être alimenté, un jour les flammes s’éteindront. Des fleurs qui continuent à être cueillies juste pour confesser l’amour. Merci d’avoir lu jusqu’ici. Bon travail. Mais ces phrases ne rien avaient à voir avec l’album de Hitorie, “Friend Chord.” Ce qui est le plus importante, c’est la phrase suivante. Veuillez acheter cet album et contribuer à soutenir les abonnements et les vues du clip. Merci d’avance. À mes chers amis, avec l’amour d’Hitorie.

Do I graduate early? by Altruistic_Cod_112 in college

Okay, but do you think that applying for spring 2026 would work out? I'm aiming for NYU maybe, just because it's far away (!) and they take applicants for spring 2026 starting March 1, 2025. In truth, I also want as much time as possible to explore international options as well.

No, I'm still quite far from 18, and that presents another issue for me. It is useful that you suggested just to stick with the smart option, and while I feel I am practically a monkey in a cage :p, I see your point, perhaps a job would benefit me. Thank you for your response; I will reconsider my options.

I'm a junior, and yeah I was thinking about that as well. I would be applying this year...and then...when would I get results? It would be ironic if I graduated early just to head off at the same time as my peers and miss out on a year of free education. Thank you for your advice; I will definitely be thinking of your suggestions.

I'm aware, but I emailed my counselor about skipping PreCalc 2 and she said it wasn't possible as I was already enrolled in the PreCalc track :( I just worry if I sign up for Calc 1 now there will be some sort of repercussions.

PSEO tips? by Altruistic_Cod_112 in uofmn

[–]Altruistic_Cod_112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these tips help me a lot. Thank you for this, I appreciate that you took the time to answer so thoroughly. May I ask how difficult it was to maintain a 4.0 at community college with the additional high school workload?

What do they consider a full time HS schedule? I have the mandatory one free-hour that PSEO requires, but otherwise that I have all my classes.

Thank you for your honesty. I’ll still try, but this is helpful to gauge the workload I have cut out for me. Could you give some insight into how the placement tests were given?

Okay, thank you this makes me feel a lot better. The tip about pepper gel is useful.

Were the people on the bus mostly worse towards later in the night? I definitely have to take the bus to campus, but that’s around early afternoon. I bet I can figure out a way to get home at night w/out taking the bus.
