<p>Well yeah, I kinda had to repeat SATs and give further AS-Levels, plus few extracurriculars as well.
Plus, if you’re not from Karachi, you must be from the Northern part of Pakistan including Punjab and NWFP (sorry but Khyber Pakhtunkhwa sounds tongue-twisting to me), and um was there any chance that you were in Roots College International? :)</p>
<p>I am in Roots :)</p>
<p>I wish I had attended Roots, I came to know about it while giving my A2 exams, so it was too late by then. 
Still, I’m not completely regretting about it. :)</p>
<p>Ma3a20, you’re definitely academically qualified, so all you need to make sure you have is that sense of global citizenship!</p>
<p>oh, and I did A-Levels too - great preparation, honestly, for NYUAD</p>
<p>@kiwikid…how did u show your sense of global citizenship?..through essays or what?</p>
<p>is it necessary to have that sense of global citizenship?
I’ve never lived abroad, does that matter?? =)</p>
<p>umm…it might be a little weird…but, I have to do this…</p>
<p>I have to press the submit button within the next 6 hours…and I want someone who could proof-read my NYU supplement answers and provide some genuine feedback on them…I do not have anyone who could do that, at the moment…It would be nice if anyone of those who are already accepted to the institute would be ready to help me with the same. Thank you!
those of u who do not mind helping…please drop your email-ids to my private msg box. thank you very much!</p>
<p>@KiwiKid It’s nice to know that you think I’m academically qualified, but for US colleges I always get the feeling it’s not enough. There’s just so much competition and if you need even a little bit of aid you’re part of a super competitive applicant pool.</p>
<p>I think I’ve reflected my being a global citizen. After all, I have been fortunate enough to travel.</p>
<p>@NewYorkUAD I guess it doesn’t matter, but only if you can show that there is something truly unique associated with you, something only you could bring to campus, something that is valuable.</p>
<p>Global citizenship is actually something not literal, its basically your will to be in a global context within the NYU community, of course being a global citizen literally can help you in that, but even if you haven’t traveled, its completely normal, you can still show your global citizenship.</p>
<p>Absolutely. Travelling doesn’t necessarily mean knowing.</p>
<p>good luck everyone, hope to see you in fall :)</p>
<p>thanks!!
@ma3a20 and murtaza101</p>
<p>hello, everyone! i am completely infatuated with nyuad. i’m from the states, by the way. anyways, i am applying EDII and i just finished editing my research paper. so, i went on to the common app site and the upload tab for the project is…not there. i am so confused! has this happened to anyone else!? some advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks (:</p>
<p>@lifeistreschic – It has happened with all, you DON’T need to submit the research paper in the NYU supplement, however it’s beneficial that you still keep it with you, since if you’re called on a CW, you’ll be required to use it.</p>
<p>I think I’d be happy enough if I got to go to CW. Forget admissions, that is valuable enough!</p>
<p>Very true - but it would be a horrible feeling to fall on the last hurdle!</p>
<p>yeah, global citizenship will be demonstrated via your NYU supplement (perhaps also in your choice of extra-curriculars, but that’s probably relatively rare).</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I can’t wait to get back to normal life in early January. The application process is much more hectic than I imagined.</p>
<p>@murtaza – thank you so much! good luck :)</p>
<p>All three of my older sisters have successfully completed the admissions process and now attend great schools. For some odd reason, I don’t believe the application process was half as stressful and overwhelming as it is for me!</p>
<p>Well I’m a re-applicant, and so to me, it actually DIDN’T look as that hectic as it did when I applied previously, it was MUCH more less stressful, the only part which I can describe as a bit “hectic” was to go back to school and collect my forms and scores.
I’ve resumed to “normal life” since past 2 weeks. :P</p>
<p>It was ghastly for me - the way it was timed, October/November was during my final exams, so I had to actually finish my application in September. So I started in August (which is half-way through the school year for me) and finished it by September. Also, back them, I was still getting getting my head around the idea of ED and all the US terminology like “transcript”, “grades”, “class” which we call “testimonial”, “marks” and “year-level” respectively. So I definitely agree that it was stressing! I also wasn’t sure where I was applying so I actually also finished off a MIT application, which I will never need to send off.</p>
<p>But it will all be worth it in the end if you get admitted! so I wish you all the best of luck!!</p>
