My stats are

gpa uw, 88.7 w - 92.8
sat 1 - 2070 (retaking with a lot more study, hopefully 2150)
strong music, academic clubs, sports.

I know my stats fall low so I need a great “why NYU” essay. I’ve visited many times, I LOVE EVERYTHING about it. But What are some words that would describe NYU? for example, Duke - athletes. Harvard - rich geniuses, Yale - jocks, Brown - eccentric students.

Whats the theme for NYU other than city? I really want to draw a strong link between Nyu and me but I just need the right words to express on paper how much I love it.

Will appreciate any suggestions/advice
