<p>[<em>] Why do you want to attend NYU? Although the school's location was a major factor in my decision, I was more attracted to how the environment of the school enhanced its academics. Not only would we be learning about stocks and bonds, but we would be living and breathing it. NYU's global focus brings an unparalleled perspective to every aspect of a student's education. Blahblahblah you get it. NYC + NYU, in my opinion, is better than Harvard or any school out there. People at Ivy's WANT internships in New York. All we got to do, assuming that you have the interpersonal skills and charisma, is call up our connections and market ourselves properly. Voila!
