Obviously, if you're interested in NYU because of one of their 10 undergraduate schools, then that's particular to NYU, but the same goes for their campus locations, programs, and areas of study. For instance, if you're passionate about studying theater, you wouldn't just write that you want to attend NYU because you love theater and NYU has a theater program and is in New York, a city that has theater; that description could apply to half a dozen schools.
Instead, you'd go into the details of what attracts you about specific classes and professors at Tisch, or other opportunities that are unique to NYU ability to do certain kinds of projects, the potential for interdisciplinary collaboration, etc. Why have you expressed interest in a particular campus, school, college, program, or area of study? If you're already certain of what you want to study in college or have a " spike ", you'll want to go the "particular" route in your essay.
On the other hand, perhaps you're not at all sure what you want to study in college AKA me in high school. In that case, you'll shape your essay more around how you believe going to NYU will allow you to explore many different avenues to find your passion. Finally, if you already know that you want to spend time abroad during college in a place where NYU has a campus, you can emphasize your interest in continuing to receive an NYU-level academic education while living in another country.
Abu Dhabi is one of several cities NYU has campuses in. We're now going to take those broad topic categories and go into a little more depth for how to write about them in your "Why NYU? Because there are so many different undergraduate programs within NYU, it's a good idea to identify which program s you're applying to and why in your NYU supplement essay. Since you'll need to decide on a program before applying to NYU anyway, you might as well use the time you spend reading about each college to figure out if there are any programs within particular colleges that call out to you.
If you've spent the last 12 years devoting all your extra time in and out of school to theatre and want to attend a conservatory with opportunities to go see live theatre, then write about that in your application to Tisch. NYU is a world-renowned university for a reason, and it's not just because of its immense real estate holdings; it has a wide variety of courses and professors renowned in their fields.
If one of the main reasons you're drawn to NYU is for its academics, then this is a good topic to get into in your supplemental essay. Flip through the online course catalogs and read about professors in departments you're interested in.
Are there any classes you really want to take that seem particular to NYU? Or any professors you absolutely have to study with? You don't need to go so far as to read the professors' research or anything like that unless you're super excited by it!
If there's an extracurricular at NYU that you've been particularly involved in during high school or are excited to start getting involved in at college , you can write about it, as long as you're clear about why it's something unique to NYU.
In a similar vein, you can also try reading through some of the campus-wide events offered throughout the year and see if there's anything special about them that speaks to you. What you absolutely should avoid is gushing about NYU's location whether you're applying to the New York campus or not. If New Yorkers have heard it all and seen it all before, NYU admissions officers have certainly read any and all paeans you could care to write to New York City.
It's fine to write about how being in New York gives you access to opportunities relevant to your course at NYU e. However, you need to be clear to center your essay around the program at NYU, with the New York location and its opportunities being an added bonus. Unless you have a unique take on why NYU's location is so important to you e. Before you start to narrow in on what angle you'll take in your "Why NYU? By "examine," we don't just mean "list your reasons"—we mean you need to go a few levels deeper into each surface reason that occurs to you.
For example, this is the list of reasons I had for applying to NYU roughly in order of importance :. On the face of it, none of these reasons are very compelling. We can help. PrepScholar Admissions is the world's best admissions consulting service.

The essay requirements were slightly different then, with different word counts, so I had to expand a little upon what I originally wrote. I feel NYU would be a good match for me because of the number and kinds of programs it has.
I am very interested in a variety of subjects, and NYU seems to encompass everything. Take Chinese, for example. I'm learning Mandarin now and have been for the last five years , but I would also like to learn Cantonese. There are not many other schools that offer Cantonese classes that can boast trips into Chinatown as part of the curriculum! I'd not only be able to go to China for a semester for a year and immerse myself in the language and culture, but I'd be able to do so with the continuity of being on an NYU campus, even halfway across the world.
The music theory program in the College of Arts and Sciences also really interests me. I've picked up some theory here and there, but I haven't had all that much formal training. I'm also really intrigued by NYU's early music ensemble and the chance to explore different modes and tunings. Finally, I cannot stress enough how important reading and creative writing are to me.
Because of how much the two feed into one another, I'm excited by NYU's Reading Series and the potential to be able to attend organized events for interacting with other writers outside the classroom.
The opportunity to expand my Chinese language abilities beyond Mandarin and have the chance for practical application is what first intrigued me; the chance to explore computer music and get my hands on NYU's facilities was the next breadcrumb; but the breadth and depth of the courses for writing lure me in even more, until I can resist no further. This essay isn't necessarily the best piece of writing I've ever done. This will help you figure out both which one you want to apply to as well as what makes those schools interesting for you to apply to.
As the NYU Admission blog states , you don't have to go overboard in stating exactly what course you want to take with what professor at what time, but you should demonstrate that you're aware of what kinds of things you will be able to do and learn while at NYU.
If there are particular opportunities you're interested in that are only available in New York e. You just need to show that you've done at least a little research into NYU and why you want to apply there in particular. And if along the way you find that you don't really have a super good reason that's getting you excited to apply to NYU?
It might be worth reconsidering whether or not you should apply there. Definitely check out other options if you are not able to afford NYU. Check out other options. Living in NYC is amazing - it would be trite to exclaim why - but you have to beware of some of the pitfalls of it - described above.
I really appreciate the honesty. I am visiting NYU over spring break, and I know that often, within the walls of a school, students are less honest for fear of teachers hearing them, etc. So again, thank you very much and when I apply to schools, I will take everything you said into consideration.
NYU is the only "city" school I've applied to, so it'll be interesting to see how I'd fare. The great thing about that however is that everyone is so passionate about what they believe in that you hear almost every side to every debate.
As far as the workload of NYU goes it pretty much varies with your major. However there is time to have fun!! There is without a doubt somethign to do not just on the weekends but also on the weekdays which plays a part in what makes NYU so difficult. Balance is the thing most NYU students have trouble with and I agree with earlier posts that this school is not for everyone. The financial aid sucks and it does seem sometimes like your a number, but NYU is a huge instiution and once you get here you will realize how much pull and power they have in the city of New York.
NYU owns more buildings than just about any other company in the city. Classes range from small to huge. My spanish class has 10 students but my O-chem lecture hall had around However office hours with the exception of around midterm and finals time are not usually too crowded so if you want one on one time with your professor you can get it.
The instruction here is top notch and so many of the professors are fascinating and what is more, truly care about their subjuect. You will also never find a more diverse group of students anywhere in the nation. Housing is better than any school in the nation as far as I'm concerned especially after your Freshmen year. NYU is an unbelievable place and if you think it is for you I encourage you to apply! As of now, NYU is my first choice. I am visiting it at the end of March, and I'm hoping that it I'm very excited and I've been hearing a lot of good things about the school so far.
Or it really doesn't make a difference.. I wouldn't change a thing of my 4 years there though some of it I don't remember due to the drinkage. The students and faculty are great, and so many departments are highly regarded. There is also so much do at NYU.
Also, profressors are amazingly accessible if you make an attempt to actually go see them. I'm a republican, and there were plenty like me, though they dont' tend to be as loud as the annoying liberals protesting electricity in Washington Sq Park..
