[li] Why do you want to attend NYU? [/li]The City; my dreams are too big for Arizona, or any other state for that matter. Cultural diversity. The way NYU is integrated with the city itself, instead of being a separate entity. At first I was going towards Columbia, until I discovered Gallatin which is pretty much my wet dream. I can imagine myself there. I’m interested in so many different areas, and have so many life plans. I wish I could be Barbie and do everything.
[li] What other schools are you planning on applying to? [/li]Columbia, Kenyon, Carleton, & Howard (all of them RD if I don’t get into NYU).
And ASU as a safety… ugh.
[li] Anything else? [/li]I’ve got that stereotypical sob story and a real passion for learning for the sake of learning. I’m a full IB Diploma Candidate. I’ve got pounds upon pounds of wit hiding up my sleeves. I think I’ll get it, it’s more about the money.
