Which school are you applying to at NYU? That makes a difference. You like like you’re definitely in good shape, very good shape actually, but a lot depends on your EC’s. Now that I re-read my essays, I realized they’re not that great - so I think a lot can overshadow them.

Well, NYU doesn’t have a campus. But I haven’t felt a lack of community, and I am a more introverted person. Washington Square Park is surrounded by NYU buildings, and functions as and is considered “campus”. The restaurants/stores nearby are also geared towards students. The entire area partially feels like NYU territory, which is cool when you think about it. Certain organizations, such as the residence halls and the student councils, do a lot to create a sense of community. They sponsor interesting trips and activities, and encourage people to meet each other. However, I do think that being in Stern has helped create a sense of community forme as well. NYU is a huge university, as large as some state schools, and has many different types of interesting people. There is NYU pride and community, it is just not as blatant as at other schools
