<p>Essays: Um, well, I liked my long essay, which I think was rather creative. My short essays I kind of tossed together after NYU sent me an annoyed email telling me to basically get on with it and submit. Heh.

<p>If I didn't want to go into business, I would have said my application was more suited for another school at NYU. :S</p>

<p>yea, if you got the University Day Reception thing like me, I don't think we're Stern Scholars.</p>
