CONGRATS YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE have rainbow sprinkles and gummy bears on your ice cream and turn into the smiley emojis
lmao @baddiarydays I love your comments!
Is anyone on a pre professional track like pre law or pre med? Did you talk about it in you essays?
@baddiarydays I want to go into pre med. for my essay I did a lot of research on the website and included some of the research some of the teachers did that I was interested in for the part of what NYU can offer me as for the part of what I can offer them, I just wrote a whole lot. I’m literally dying right now waiting because I reread my answer and I feel like I could have wrote something better
@nycgirl20 I’m also premed and got A’s in my classes but totally like I talked about wanting to do research since it’s the top research school but 400 words is not enough for me to get a point across but I also talked about I would use English classes to make me a better + well rounded doctor and stuff. I’m worried that talking about premed could affect apps since loads of ppl drop after biology and then orgo
@baddiarydays I got all A’s as well, I’m still scared. I submitted my SAT scores but they told me they didn’t need them since I’m graduating from my current college. 400 words was not enough, I attempted to talk more about the school but then I didn’t want to so little about myself. I also put like stuff about the study abroad opportunities, stuff along that line. I hope I get in, if I don’t I might go to BU or Columbia (if I get into the school)
@nycgirl20 @baddiarydays my supplement was similar to yours in that I discussed the program and classes I was interested in taking and why (I’m not premed) and of course i added what i could offer. I think NYU likes it if you talk about specific things about their school aside from it’s location, like something you’d really have to search their website and course catalog for and so on. I think if you really demonstrate passion you have a good shot.
@roarx1 I mentioned specific classes and bringing my newspaper experience to the school. I already live in the city so talking about nyc would be a bust lol
@nycgirl20 premed buddies oh snap but ya you don’t have to submit test scores if you’re applying for junior year. I had to since I’m applying for sophomore year i mean idk if they would consider your scores anyways but if they’re really good then maybe it could boost you? I really hope I get in too and I hope I get into Barnard, that would be a dream
@baddiarydays I applied to Barnard too! Lol and yea I live in the city so I can’t talk about the location especially since I live close to one of NYU’s dorms
@nycgirl20 lol you lucky dog. I’m all the way in the UK! Rural location too! Now I really regret not choosing UCL lol
@nycgirl20 what major are you applying for? I hope we both get into NYU and Barnard what a dream that would be! Wow what if we’ve passed each other on the sidewalk… (Being a little silly here)
@thegent the fact that you chose NYU and you’re all the way in London should show them how interested you are. What did you write about? Hopefully we all get in. We all have good credentials!
@nycgirl20 lol I’m in Coventry, not in London… I chose PRESTIGE OVER LOCATION >:( For the common app essay, I wrote about the constraints of a UK education (the fact that I can’t take any course I want to take besides the one I applied and got in for) and how I want a more experiential learning experience (talked about a game theory concept and how it applies to the real world). For the why NYU essay, just talked about volunteering and related it to NYU’s community service programs and my own unique cultural background (how I couldn’t speak English until I was 5 and how I overcame linguistic barriers when I transitioned from a Chinese school to an international school). Talked about how I then started teaching immigrants in Hong Kong English etc. etc. lol
@baddiarydays for NYU I chose biology and then I stupidly selected that I wasn’t interested in anything else. Now I think I should have chose something else as a backup. For Barnard I chose biology and biochemistry. I have a 4.0 in my math and science courses so hopefully that will help me. Lol we may have passed each other. I tell myself whenever I meet someone who lives in the same city as me that we could have passed each other thousands of times and never know it lol
@thegent your essay sounds very interesting, you have a lot of experiences to speak about me on the other hand not so much lol! You should get in. You’re showing that you want more and you’re trying to do something about it. I wish you good luck! I will be very happy for you!
@nycgirl20 I wish you the best of luck too and I hope we both get in haha. If not, I’ll get to NYC one day. ONE DAY…
@nycgirl20 Also last year for some reason they didn’t consider any of my other preferences… I applied as a freshman to NYU stern for finance and I got waitlisted… Do you think that they take those preferences seriously? Because I put down a laundry list of courses that I’d also be interested in lol
@nycgirl20 it was destiny that we would talk on a college transfer forum. Biology is a toughy haha but if you’re getting A’s then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t get accepted. I’ll fight nyu over it
