Help with the NYU supplement prompt?

<p>NYU is global, urban, inspired, smart, connected and bold. What can NYU offer you, and what can you offer NYU?
I am an international student and don't have any experience with college essays. So, please could anybody help me out ? I am completely stuck on this prompt. I am specifically applying for the Abu Dhabi campus. Could you please clarify what exactly are they asking and how should I address the prompt? Is it like a personal statement or more personal essay? It doesn't have a word limit. So, how long should I write it? Please anything about the essay woud be a lot of help. Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Basically, brag. Write about how awesome you are. </p>

<p>The “global” part of the essay is a huge plus! Write about what you can bring from your little corner of the world to NYU. Talk your background and skills. Talk about anything that’s special about you.</p>

<p>The college also wants you to flatter them. You picked NYU for a reason, so talk about why you want to go there. Talk about what’s so special about their programs and what they have to offer, and why specifically you want to go to the Abu Dhabi campus. You’re gonna have to do a good bit of research.</p>

<p>Best of luck! Hope this helped!</p>

<p>I would avoid being too much of a brag during the essay. Better to be humble, but yet firm to explain how much you can offer the campus. Especially if you have any unique cultural or ethnic background that could bring diversity, this will be appealing.</p>

<p>i still sont understand what could be written for 200-400 words. this is the most difficult prompt I have to attempt.</p>

<p>You need to write a couple anecdotes showing how you are global, or inspiring/inspired, or bold (etc.) Pick the adjectives that apply to you and tell a story that shows why you’d be a perfect fit for NYU.</p>
