My strong suit has always been writing, so I am guessing that my essays will be the best part of my application. My only award is an art award, but I’m not applying for art so I don’t see that it is necessary.
I am applying ED1 for NYU Gallatin this fall, concentrating on polisci, creative writing, and marketing.
