How can I get into NYU? Examples of extracurriculars?

I’m planning to apply to NYU E.D, but I’m having trouble with my extracurriculars and goals. I want to be in the writing field when I graduate NYU, and I know I’m supposed to have a spike in high school rather than be well-rounded. What can I do to create that spike, as a writer, and what should I strive for in order to wow the admissions board?

Definetly join some clubs like Newspaper club or if there’s any other writing based clubs at your school. Also try to get published even if it’s only in small magazines and stuff. A good example is Lucid Magazine which hired young writers to do interviews, take pictures, write articles, etc. hope this helps!
