What is the criteria for getting into NYU? What grades do you need to have, classes to take, etc. (link)
|
In general, a good place to start when considering a University is their website. NYU's site is:
http://www.nyu.edu
From there you can research admission requirements and courses. You can see right from the school what they're looking for in applicants.
Also, if you live in NY then I would reccomend trying to get their guidebook. You can also get this at uni/college fairs which some schools hold.
The following is also a good website:
http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=3186&profileId=1
The person below gave you avg. GPAs.
The reaserach I did said the following for high school things:
High School Preparation
High School diploma required, GED accepted
Required units: 16 total
English 4
Foreign Language 2
History 4
Math 3
Science 3
Science Lab 2
Recommended units:
Foreign Language 3
Math 4
Keep in mind that the classes you need to take vary greatly depending on what department you apply for. For example, if you are going to go to NYU to study Theatre you will want to have taken theatre in high school. Whereas if you want to go for the sciences, you will want to have taken more science/math courses. Many University sites/guidebooks have specific requirements for different departments.
I hope I helped you.
Good Luck with your research.

how do people CANTACT people from youtube?
like if someone were to ask andMESSAGE me in youtube" hey i really like ur voice come to an audition and maybe ill sign you in to (lets sayy.........) Geffen Rocrds"
how would you know if it is real and no t a joke?!?
so my question is HOW DO YOU CONTACT SOMEONE IN YOUTUBE?
like to get is signed or you know like the "Fame" coming out..
how od u know (link)
|
Like the person below said, you can never really know whether it is real or not.
If your question is how to contact someone on YouTube then you can go to "Account" then when the menu drops down you pick "Contacts" and then "Compose". Then you enter the username of the person you want to contact and write a message and then send it.
"like to get is signed or you know like the "Fame" coming out..
how od u know"
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean in that part of the question, but I hope I answered the question for you.
Good Luck.

I have been going through bra's like nothing.
Im 14 and obviously a female and in December my Mom baught me like 4 A size bras. Well I started getting to big so my Mom got me a B, and that was in April. I started getting growing pains a lot lately and now Im too big for a B and my Moms talking about going into a C.
Is it normal to be growing so fast, and It's weird because Ive always been the tom-boy and now I dont feel as comfortable around my friends.
I went to a pool party and me and Nikki were the only girls there and... things got weird. But I just wanna know if they'll stop soon, because I hate them, and I cant talk to my friends because there like Katie! Im an A and completely jealous!! I dont know why though I mean I cant wear a shirt without some kind of clevage.
Anything will rock (link)
|
This is normal. Everyone grows at different rates. I know a girl who was a practically flat at the beginning of Grade 9 and by the start of grade 10 she was a DD. I'm not saying that this is necessarily what will happen to you, but keep in mind that everyone is different - they grow at different rates and to different sizes. If you need a C cup then get it. Do not try to fit into a small bra - it will only hurt you.
You can try wearing more modest clothing if you are very self-concious, but I would say that you should try not to see your breasts as a curse. You should be proud of your body and the fact is if you had small breasts, you would want them bigger. Try to be happy with yourself and remember that you are not the only one who is developing. Having bigger breasts does not change who you are and it shouldn't change how your friends see you.
If it gets to be too much, tell your friends in a firm yet polite way that them talking about your breasts makes you very uncomfortable and that you would like them to stop. If they are good friends, they will respect your wishes.
I hope I helped.

in school, were learning about what careers we want to persue in the future, like the stuff that were interested in. im really interested in helping animals and helping stop global warming and that kind of stuff.
but...i dont know what career i can go into to do that stuff. can anyone help??
thanks alot! (link)
|
I'm not sure if this is really considered a career by some people, but you might consider becoming an activist. An activist chooses a cause (animal rights, improving air quality, etc.) and organises events and steps towards helping their cause. They might put together an organization or start a letter writing campaign or organise protests or demonstrations, etc.
Also, you might consider getting into politics, if that interests you at all. As a politician you could change the world for the better through policy changes, etc.
These are just a couple options open to you, try to combine your passion for improving the world with other passions of yours (e.g. if you discover a passion for law you may want to be an environmental lawyer, etc.)
Hope I helped.

well my thighs aren't big, but i'd like them thinner. i was wondering if i was to work them out if the fat would just turn into muscle and they would only get tighter not thinner. can anyone help me out? (link)
| |
Okay, so obviously don't get liposuction. I wouls reccomend doing more cardio-focused workouts to help reduce fat all over your body. That way, if you have excess fat on your thighs then it will be burned off with a cardio workout. When you do muscular strength workouts with your thighs, you are building muscles. Don't cut out muscle exercises completely, just focus on cardio. I'm no expert, but this is what lI would suggest. Hope I helped.

ok so i got my very first period in february
and im on my third period cycle right now, well i've had it for 4 or 5 days
well the first 2 times i got my period and it lasted for 10 days
so i just assumed that the cycle im on now would last for 10 days but today i woke and i had very little blood even though i slept gor 10 hours.
and there was no blood in the toilet and when i wiped it was brown sorta like discharge.
so am i getting off of it early?
[sry for the the details, but please help] (link)
| |
It takes a while for your boy to regulate your period. When you first start out it is usually heavier and lasts longer. Four or five days is pretty normal, so it is very possible that you are finishing youe period. I'd reccomend wearing a light pad for the day. Watch what happens when you finish your period over the next few cycles and that way you will know the signs your body gives when you are finishing. Remember, eveeryone is different so the signs of finishing your period may be different than those of your friends. Hope I helped.

I'm 16, soon to be 17 in june, and I don't like tampons. Im scared that I'll get that TSS, and everytime I tried to wear one, it still bleed onto my panties, and i hate the feeling when taking them out. Is it normal or weird to like pads over tampons at my age? (link)
| |
It is neither normal nor weird. It's just your prefrence. I'm 17 and I prefer tampons myself, but many of my friends prefer pads. The point is, it's all about what you feel most comfortable with. If you're going to be worried about TSS (which, by the way is very rare, so don't worry if you decide to use tampons at some point. Just be aware of the amount of time you have had your tampon in for. This may also solve your bleeding problem...) all day then you might as well save yourself the stress and use pads. There's a reason they offer two options, because it truly is a personal choice. Hope I helped.

I have bellsouth internet, and i need to erase just myspace so my parents dont know i have one. Please help ive tried everything. What do i do... (link)
|
Hit Ctrl+H (hold down Ctrl as you press "H"). A panel with pop up on the left side of your screen with your History. Right-click on the time you want to delete (i.e. Today, Tomorrow, 2 Weeks ago, etc.) and then select "delete". It should be gone.
This will work for both Internet Explorer and Firefox, I'm not completely sure about other browsers. If you have another browser, try it anyway. Hope I helped.

hi! im indian, me and husbund had unprotected sex from my 3rd day of periods and we did it atleast 4 times in each day.is their is any chances for me to get pregnent, please advice me in this matter as im very woried. (link)
| |
Yes, you can get pregnant at ANY TIME even if you are on your period. If you don't want to become pregnant, then always use protection. It is not as likely to get pregnant on your period as it is while you're ovulating, but I would highly reccomend taking a pregnancy test. Hope I helped.

whats it mean when a girl is wet?
is it mean dischage or something?
idk... just curios (link)

When a girl's body is preparing to have sex her genitals produce a lubricant to allow the penis to enter more easily.

I went onto a website and ever since then I have so much pop ups! Just now one poped up! How can I block it without downloading something that will ruin my computer more!!
HELP (link)

This happend to me a while ago. If you have any kind of security system you should run a full virus and spyware scan, it sounds like you don't have one, though. Some browsers have a pop-up blocker built in, check if yours does andif it does, make sure it is enabled. You night also try clearing your history. Also, you should try to locate your "temporary internet files" folder (do a full system search) and clear all the stuff in there out, that seemed to really help me. What I would really recomend is investing in a reliable internet security system (Norton, MacAfee, etc.), but I understand that not everyone has that kind of money. If you can afford it, it's worth it in the long-run. I hope I helped.

I'm 15 years old and my parents seem to be calling it quits. I say seem to because my father had just told my mother that he would decide in a week whether he wanted to leave or not. My mother constantly tells us it's not my sister and mine's fault but my Dad... well he constantly tells my sister and I that mom is just a terrible person and that she doesn't appreciate us. I don't know what to think or do. What do I do if they finally split?
Thanks in advance (link)
|
My parents are divorced and at first its difficult, but sometimes it is better for everyone involved when a couple spilts up. Everyone can be happier. When one parent badmouths the other it can be really hurtful and confusing, explain to your father that you love both your parents and you are not going to pick sides. Tell him that when you talk about your mother that way, it really hurts you and you would appreciate it if he didn't talk about her that way in front of you and your sister.
As for what you will do if your parents split up, it will be difficult for you at first, but remember that it is not your fault by any means and that a split up might be the best thing. It will get better and eventually you will form a more healthy family dynamic. With your parents happier your home life will undoubtedly be more positive. Try to remember that your parents still love you and they always will. No matter what happens between them. Hope I helped.

Can your hymen "pop" and bleed and everything if you get fingered? It only "pops" when you have sex, right? (link)
|
No, your hymen can certainly pop from fingering. it can also pop from things like horseback riding, vigorous exersize, tampons, etc. Your hymen breaks when something causes it to break. Hope I helped.

ok im not sick or anything.
but for about a while (many months) now ive noticed my toncils and back of my throat are coverd in bumps everywhere!! but there not white. there red.
sometimes they get erriated, but rather than that i dont feel them.
at first i didnt know this was normal or not.
so haha i checked all my freinds to see if they have them and they dont!
does anyone else ever had/have this?? please help cause im a healthphoibic and im freaking out that im going to dye! =/ (link)
|
You probably are sick. The best thing for you would be to make an appointment with your doctor and have him/her take a look at your tonsils. It might be nothing, but you never know. I really encourage you to see your doctor. If you have to get them out, then don't worry, it's not that bad. You get ice cream and pudding and popsicles. :) Hope I helped.

OK I think I have mono. 2 weeks ago I got really sick. These were my symptoms:
-reallyyy bad sore throat, like the worst ever :[
-head ache
-chills
-nausea
-muscle and joint pains
-high fever that ranged from 101-104 degrees
-sometimes I'd get really hot and sometimes really cold
-swollen lymph node on my neck, just on the right side though
-swollen right tonsil
I went to the doctor, but at the time, I didn't know what was wrong, and he just gave me some antibiotics. He said he thought it was a throat infection. He did ask me if I had muscle pains, but I said I didn't because I didn't think it was important. I feel better now, but a lot of the time I'm tired. It's not every day, but it's most of the time. I even took a nap yesterday, and that's like, really unusual for me, because I NEVER take naps, because I don't need to, since I'm usually never tired during the day.
So do you think I have mono?? And I read somewhere that there are 3 stages to mono. What are they? And I'm going to the doctor July 2 for a follow-up visit, should I say something? And what should I say?
Thank you if you can help. :] (link)
|
You could have mono. If you are incredibly tired all the time then that is a big symptom. For now I'd tell you to just rest. If you are going out and doing lots of things that get you excited and moving around you could make yourself much worse. Also, until you know for sure you shouldn't do anything that could spread it things like this include:
- kissing
- sharing a drink with someone
- sharing forks, knives, spoons and other eating utensils
- sharing makeup (mostly things that go near your mouth)
Basically makre sure your saliva doesn't come in contact with another persons saliva. When you go to the doctor tell him that you have been having muscles pain and you are unusually tired. Tell him/her that you are concerned that you might have mono, they can tell you whether you do or not. Hope I helped

Drink lots of water. Eat big meals full of comfort food. Try to rest and sleep through it. I know you said no medicine, but if you have a headache, you might find that taking advil or something like that will help you rest.

i have a blood clotting disorder and i want to get my tounge piersed.
my mom said i could be a issue
but were not docters!
and i cant check with a real docter cause my mom said shes not letting me get it piersed just yet untill im older (she thinks it looks tackey) and so i just would like to know about body piersings and how it will effect me.
i personally dont think something as little as a piersing will make a serious issue.
can a body piersing be harmful least i have a blood clotting disorder? ( the only piersing ive gotten is my ears (2ce) and attempted my belly button but it got infected badly) (link)
|
Your toungue has a lot of veins and blood vessels in it. I would be VERY careful about getting my tongue pierced if I were you. Besides the obvious risk of bleeding excessively, tongue piercings get infected the most out of any other piercing. I would really reccomend seeing a doctor, but if you absolutley cannot see one (I would REALLY encourage seeing one) then make sure that you go to a very CLEAN place with well trained professionals. Make sure you tell them about your disorder and take their advice. You should feel free to ask lots of questions about the process and about the sterilization level of their equipment. They should be able to answer all your questions well. If you do not feel comfortable with the place or person, do not hesitate to walk out and find somewhere else. Your health comes first. If it bleeds a lot, you should go to the hospital. Consider the risks involved very carefully beforehand. If you do decide ro pierce your tongue, be careful and investigate your options. Good Luck and I hope I helped you.

I have an infected knee (the clinic doctor thinks) so I've been taking antibiotics for the infection. About 3 days after I started the antibiotics I started to get sick. Unless being sick is directly related to the antibiotics, I shouldn't be getting sick, right? Or am I wrong about what antibiotics do? (link)
|
You can have an allergic reaction to antibiotics and sometimes they can make you sick. It is POSSIBLE that you just happened to get sick right after starting to take antibiotics, but it is much more likely that you are sick as a result of the medicine. I reccomend going back to the doctor who perscribed those antibiotics and explaining your symptoms to him/her. It might be nothing, but it might be something important. I'm sure that the doctor will be able to answer your questions better than anyone here. Also, if it is a result of the antibiotics, then they should be able to perscribe a new, safer, medication for you. Hope I was able to help.
Love, Rainbow
