I have a good curriculum and test scores, I applied to NYU as an Early Decision II candidate, and I wrote what I consider a good essay for the admission process.
The one and big ‘but’ is that in this essay, I started by saying “I’m not looking for the ‘most prestigious education’, the ‘best textbooks’ — the 'best preparation for life.” as a gateway into emphasizing that I’m looking for a university that can help me outright start my life. The thing is that I’m scared that NYU might assume that I mean that they don’t have the most prestigious education and take it as an offense, am I screwed? I’m genuinely worried, can any of you give me your opinion in this matter?
Hell, maybe I could write them an email and try to fix things? Y’know saying that I didn’t mean it like that, just to make my point. It might be too desperate, what do you think?
