As we all know, there are three supplement essays for NYU.

I notice that the Why NYU and the Major Essay kind of overlap.

Ex.

Why NYU?

Regardless of whether or not you have an intended major or concentration, please elaborate on an academic area of interest and how you wish to explore it at NYU’s campuses in New York or Abu Dhabi or at one of our global academic centers around the world. Please share any activities or experiences you have had that have cultivated your intellectual interests leading you to choose to study at the NYU campus of your choice.

To clarify, in the second essay (the major essay), we only talk about our majors right? But the prompt asks “how you wish to explore it at NYU’s campuses…” Isn’t that the same thing as the first prompt?

How do you guys approach it?
