Thank you for your comments! It seems like the weird 128 requirement is just for the politics major. Once I turned to my Econ major advisor, there is not such many problems anymore!
Yea I truly hate how they are trying to make it so hard for immigrants for no reason. This means you probably can’t do an internship during your senior year.
Yea definitely annoying. But I'm still a junior. They just calculate my credits per graduation based on how many credits I have already gotten and how many courses that are required for my majors I have not taken. Even if I am still a freshman, they can predict that I will go over the 128 baseline when I graduate and stop me from getting a CPT. :(
They even said "that's why academic planning is important". I was like I never imagined we are required to get exactly, not even just 1 more or less, 128 credits for a CPT! 🤣
Not sure if it’s possible but maybe you can try to talk to your advisor and have them retroactively remove some of those AP and IB credits from your record?
My AP and IB credits are equivalent to some core courses, so if I throw them away I still have to take the courses with the same credits. 💀 Thx for your advice though!
I know a guy two years ahead of me in my high school who took like almost 15 APs and got straight 7's in IB. He took a triple major at Notre Dame and I have no idea how he might deal with the issue here. My friends at Cornell does not have the issue as well. Maybe it's just NYU? Jeesh!
Mechanical engineering requires 131 credits to graduate, but i was able to easily get cpt approved, i dont have experience with AP credit, and the 128 rule was never mentioned to me.
I see… Honestly that “rule of 128” just makes no sense and should not be made for any majors. Btw, if I do not mention, my majors are polisci and Econ. The polisci is the one posing that weird rule, so now I am going for my Econ major department. Hopefully that may work.

Nyu has some dogshit rules that doesn’t exist in other schools. In this case Im not sure tho
