<p>Ok so here are the NYU essays for applicants. They seem to want rather creative responses. It is to my understanding that we have to do ALL FOUR of them.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>If you had the opportunity to spend one day in New York City with a famous New Yorker, who would it be and what would you do? (Your New Yorker can be anyone -past or present, fictional or nonfictional - who is commonly associated with New York City; they do not necessarily have to have been born and raised in New York.)</p></li>
<li><p>Write a haiku, limerick, or short (eight lines or less) poem that best represents you.</p></li>
<li><p>In the year 2050, a movie is being made about your life. Please tell us the name of your movie and briefly summary the storyline. </p></li>
<li><p>Please tell us what led you to select your anticipated academic program and/or NYU school/college, and what interests you most about your intended discipline.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Alright so the fourth one seems straight forward. So does the second one. But the 1st and 3rd ones.... they seem a bit weird. Does the first one want the applicant to show what he/she would do in NYC if (s)he attended NYU? Does the 3rd one want to know what the applicant sees her/himself doing in the future? Plus, how do you not come off as arrogant in the 3rd one? I mean ,a movie is being made about you so you had to have accomplished something. </p>
<p>Help!!! please!</p>
