<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>So I am working on the NYU Supplement. I honestly don't know if I have the right theme in my essay. If you guys can read over my essay and tell me if it is what they are looking for, that would be great. You don't have to do corrections (you can if you want) I just want to see if it is what they want.</p>

As a result, we are curious to learn about your academic and personal interests and how those interests relate to what we offer in the idea capitals of the world in which NYU campuses are located.
Please address, in your essay response, the following:</p>
<ol>

<p>Essay:</p>
<pre><code>New York Universitys campus in the heart of the Big Apple is in the heart of the world. Every one of the eight million people that live in the five boroughs and the twenty million people that live in the metropolitan area has a life, a culture, and a story. The vastness of the diversity and the opportunity available in the city is enough to cause millions to leave their homes, travel oceans, and plant themselves anew in search of greener pastures. Lucky for me, all of this is just a train ride away.
But that train ride is far from a small journey. The steel wheels carry me past cow farms and woodland onto fishing towns and suburbs, and then to a landscape dominated not by mountains, but by skyscrapers. The ride is a departure from all I have known small, quiet life far from even a shopping mall but a departure for exploration, enlightenment, and, ultimately, education.
All that is available at the city is simply amplified by all that is at the school. The faculty is in a class of its own, with Rhode Scholars and Noble Prize laureates dotting the whole. The student-faculty ratio is small compared to the student body, giving way to the benefits of a small school in a remarkably large city. Even the library system is one of the greatest academic collections in the world. Every facet of this school will aid me in the pursuit of my education and in the pursuit of my academic interests.
In high school, I dedicated my time to being a well-rounded student. As a result, I have lasting interests in cultures, world languages, sociology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The quality and the variety of courses at New York University will allow me to explore more of my own interests and then to find what I truly want to hold a degree in. When I do find that topic, the University will, without a doubt, have world-class department to meet my needs.
I believe it is true that success comes from the person, that, no matter what, determination to succeed will lead to it. But opportunities come with a better education. New York University, it classes, it New York City campus, and its wide varieties of opportunities is everything I need to prosper, to learn, and to grow.
