<p>So I went to the NYU CAS open house this past weekend, and it firmly cemented nyu as my top choice, wiping off even UC berkeley which has been my top choice for like 3 years. I wish I had applied ED1 for nyu but my school is weird and makes you tell them you’re applying 1 month before the deadline or you miss the deadline, no buts about it. So that leaves ED2 and regular. Should I apply ED2? I’ve read it’s easier to get in regular though and that’s what worries me… Is this true? There is honestly nowhere I’d rather be than Greenwhich Villiage for the next 4 years, so please help a brotha out and hopefully I’ll see you around next fall!!</p>
<p>No, ED2 is easier than RD. ED (whether 1 or 2) shows NYU adcoms that there is no place you would rather be, whereas RD doesn’t necessarily convey that. Apply ED2 - the deadline is the same, you have a better chance, and you find out earlier!</p>
<p>How helpful is ED2? A lot more than RD, and a lot less than ED1.</p>
<p>If it’s your first choice - go for it.</p>
<p>sounds good to me, thanks! any tips on how to best write my supplements? I’ve heard that creativity is how i should tailor them, what exactly does “creativity” mean in accordance with something like why do you like the idea of a global network uni? i mean, i love the idea and its in one of my main reasons for NYU being my first choice, but my reasons for that aren’t necessarily creative in the sense that I want to travel to Buenos Aires and help the people there do whatever, but more… general?.. I guess you could put it…</p>
<p>This is the first year that NYU has ED2 so whether it is easier or harder to get in is anyone’s guess.</p>
<p>forzworn,</p>
<p>You can write anything in a creative manner, but you have to let your thoughts run free.</p>
<p>For instance, what does a global network university mean to you? The most intriguing and exciting parts? How will you be a part of it? What impact will you make? Help the reader be in your shoes and make the excitement/ enthusiasm/ love come through.</p>
<p>Some people do have more creative genes than others, so this may take a little more work for you. But jot down your associations to this important aspect of NYU and what it means to you.</p>
<p>Just some random thoughts. Let your free spirit come through (separate from all the
socializing and what is expected of you).</p>
<p>Hope this encourages you down the path of creative personal expression.</p>
<p>By the way, what specifically is it about the Buenos Aires people that make you want to help them. This may be a chance to showcase your unique knowledge of the people there (history, culture, struggles, strengths, challenges). Haha, and do this in a concise manner! So maybe just pick one aspect of the people and their culture. Again, just some of my thoughts.</p>
