<p>Eloise from the Plaza!</p>
<p>Lady Gaga in her 10 inch McQueen “lobster claw meets hoof” heels visiting art galleries in Chelsea and Belgian fry places in the East Village.</p>
<p>(As of tonight that is)</p>
<p>Does it have to be an actual person? what about something more obscure like the Coke sign in Times Square? ;)</p>
<p>well, don’t know if it has to be a “person” per se, but it probably shouldn’t be “obscure”, after all, you don’t want the adcoms to wonder what you’re talking about- hence why they asked for “famous” New Yorkers</p>
<p>Mine hasn’t been mentioned at all, I will tell people who have already applied, but it’s really different and creative</p>

<p>could you pick a character from a Bestseller?
Like schuyler van alen from Melissa de la Cruz’s Blue Bloods?</p>
<p>Maybe this is just me, but if I picked a fictional character, I’d choose one from literature, not a “bestseller” (though of course there are works of literature that are bestsellers and vice versa). The classics are considered classics for a reason, and usually they have much more three-dimensional characters than can be found in most modern books.</p>
<p>Is picking someone from TV bad? You guys seem to have chosen inspirational people, I’ve chosen someone from 30 rock!</p>
<p>naw i dont think so. i think the the thing to remember is to be CREATIVE. that’ll probably give u a better chance at being admitted.</p>
<p>mine is betty suarez!</p>
<p>i wanted to pick liz lemon too! she rocks but i choose betty suarez instead. shes inspirational and a tv character too. aint nothing wrong with that i guess</p>
<p>There isn’t anything wrong with choosing Liz Lemon / Betty Suarez. I had picked Tina Fey (ED), and I got in. Don’t know if that one question had a lot to do with my acceptance, but there isn’t anything wrong with picking a character like that.</p>
<p>Is Bill Cosby a “famous New Yorker”??</p>
<p>How long are these supposed to be?? and the poem?
Its terrible that I havent even started mine yet…</p>
<p>its ok. i barely started yesterday :)</p>
<p>ah, i seeee…
so yeah, how long shoudl they be?
it says 600 words or less, but that seems a bit much for the short answer…</p>
<p>haha… maybe 500 characters or less.
characters as in “I am screwed” is 12 characters…</p>
<p>It should be approximately 600 CHARACTERS INCLUDING SPACES. </p>
<p>This is if for those applying via NYU’s website / Embark. </p>
<p>It’s 500 characters for those applying via the CommonApp.</p>
