<p>Other Statements:</p>
<pre><code>* Why do you want to attend NYU? Because I was born and raised (for the most part) in the "New York side" of New Jersey (central/north jersey); hence, I learned to love NY, especially NYC. My family and I would go to NYC twice every summer/winter to watch Broadway, shop, and eat amazing Korean food at popular restaurants/buffets. As of now, I live in the "Pennsylvania/Philadelphia side" of NJ (south jersey) and it's been 3-4 years since i moved southward. As a result, we don't go to NYC as often because the trip to NY is more difficult due to the distance and time. I miss going there as often as i used to so much and that makes me want to study at NYU all the more. NYC is the perfect place to be immersed in culture, to get a great education (ie. NYU), and to simply have fun and love life!
What other schools are you planning on applying to? Boston College, Syracuse U, Rutgers U - New Brunswick, U of Illinois, Boston University, George Washington U
Anything else? I attended an info session+campus tour about a week ago and I loved it. If I were to be accepted, I would notify them of my enrollment the very next second. I should relax though, but it's getting to the point where purple is my new favorite color now and just last year, i remember saying that i hated purple. lol ... sigh..
