Any current NYU english masters students feel free to hand over some expertise

Obviously, I recognize that masters programs are hard to get into regardless of any school or the specific program. I was wondering if any current MA English students could help me with some questions regarding the admission requirements: "For entry into the M.A. program, we require an appropriate bachelor’s degree with a minimum of seven full (1) year courses (or equivalent) in English literature, an overall average of B+, and evidence of first-class (A) work in English." Do I have to have an average of an A in English or an A in every single class? and if 7 english credits are the minimum that means they'll be evaluating my grades from first year as well. Doesn't that seem harsh? Most MA programs just look at your last two years of study. Also, do mostly look at my last year of study or are they throughly scoping through every single english class I've ever taken? Is it really that hard to get in?
