<p>yes, there is a BIG DIFFERENCE. </p>
<p>words are not equal to characters.
characters are not equal to words.</p>
<p>Twyla Tharp??</p>
<p>Bill Cosby or Maggie Gyllenhaal? </p>
<p>Bad choices? Would either work?</p>
<p>Just be yourself. NYU just wants to get know you. I highly doubt that they are looking for any specific type of choice. </p>
<p>So if those are people that you would honestly want to spend a day in NY with, then great. Pick one, and go for it.</p>
<p>Going off what rmmutt said, you can’t make a bad choice, sure Bernie Madoff might not be a good idea, but they don’t ask these on a right or wrong basis. It’s asked to find out about you, behind the test score and GPA. Whoever you would want to spend a day with is the “right” answer.</p>
<p>i did bernie madoff actually. a couple people told me to change it but i really liked my answer and stuck with it. </p>
<p>i was thinking of doing lettermans intern too.</p>
<p>Even Bernie Madoff could be an interesting one. I almost did Gordon Gekko, but decided to go with George Costanza. There really is no wrong choice. Don’t be afraid to open up, that’s what they want to see.</p>
<p>I was just curious if Bill Cosby fit the “famous New Yorker” bill</p>
<p>George Costanza! </p>
<p>A+++++ choice</p>
<p>I don’t want to say mine, because it’s pretty unique, but George Costanza is a good one</p>
<p>I picked someone that I’m pretty sure no one else will have done: Andy Rooney.</p>
<p>Jimmy Fallon</p>
<p>Cosmo Kramer (and Little Jerry Seinfeld).</p>
<p>Little Jerry! Yes, Fantastic!</p>
<p>Would Michael Jordan be New Yorky enough? He was born in Brooklyn and had some of his greatest moments at Madison Square Garden.</p>
<p>i did Monica from Friends… oh crap.</p>
<p>Lady Gaga. And I’m not ashamed.</p>
<p>audrey hepburn :)</p>
<p>Alexandra Cabot an ADA on Law&Order:SVU</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to NYU but I so would’ve done Chris Rock. Bed-Sty. </p>
<p>or Arlo Gunthrie.</p>
