Arcampass

As an LS student in my first two years with my final program still undecided, it often feels like I'm stuck between schools. Arcampass connects me with student reps in LS and CAS and with upperclassmen already in the majors I'm considering, so I get concrete, honest answers instead of just 'you'll figure it out later.'

As a GPH x MCC student, my requirements are split across schools and the course map can be really confusing. My advisor serves a huge number of students, so the most useful tips usually come from peers in the same co-major. On Arcampass I can find those people in one place instead of cold DM-ing random classmates.

At Stern we have a centralized advising system and it's generally solid, but when it comes to choosing specific courses, especially electives outside of Stern, I end up relying on friends across schools. Arcampass basically solved my Steinhardt electives puzzle in one night through a short note from a current MPAP student who had taken exactly the class I was considering.

I didn't realize at first that Arcampass connects undergrads, grad students, and alumni in one network. They're just getting started so there aren't a ton of alums yet, but once more graduates join, that bridge from 'current MCC student' to 'recent grad in the field' is going to be a huge advantage for us.

Picking electives at Tandon usually means scrolling through what feels like thousands of Albert results and way too many tabs. Arcampass pulls 6,000+ courses into one clean view with the info I actually care about and comments from other engineering students. Even as a senior, it's one of the most effective ways I've found to figure out my electives. Honestly 100x better than Albert.

In Teaching & Learning, there are so many moving pieces: program requirements, fieldwork, certification checkpoints and advising slots fill up fast. On Arcampass I can quickly find T&L students a year or two ahead of me who've already navigated the same milestones and are willing to share what actually worked for them, not just what's on the website which some of them are commonly outdated.

In Tandon, our advisors can't really know every tiny detail of a combined program such as my BMS/BSMS path. Most of the real strategy, when to overload, how to stack labs, how to leave room for research, comes from talking to people already in the program. Before Arcampass that depended completely on personal connections; now I can instantly find and message students who are on almost the exact same track as me.
