<p>I am going to be a senior this year, so I am applying and all that fun stuff right now. The BPE program at NYU is basicaly what I have been dreaming of in a program. I have always thought I would do business, but I started to develop an interest in politics and government recently. On top of this, I have always wanted to study abroad. With that in mind, I realize that the acceptance rate is incredibly low. Anyone have any tips on how I can boost my college app? Should my essay be centered around BPE? And are there any similar programs out there at other schools so I feel like i have more opportunity to pursue this? Thanks!</p>
