<p>I plan on applying to NYU Gallatin under the second early decision deadline (Jan. 1st), making it my school of choice. It's definitelyyyy a reach for me academic-wise (GPA around 3.4, maybe 3.5 weighted, SAT comp is 1840, ACT comp 29), BUT I have moderately decent/focused ECs and a very unique background; I grew up in Japan, am a 'third culture kid', moved back to the US at the beginning of 9th grade and went thru some pretty intense culture/reentry shock back in my 'home country'. I am also graduating early by taking classes online and am moving to Japan for six months next semester to work, live and apply for permanent residency.
I know that NYU values 'globally minded' students, and that's me to a T. I have a very unique major in mind for Gallatin, one that relates to my background, and I know that my supplemental (optional) essay about why I would succeed at Gallatin needs to be phenomenal and convincing with my grades/test scores. I've used all opportunities to write 'personal statements' to my advantage (maybe a little too much...) and I'm wondering if anyone is willing to read over the supplementary essay I plan on submitting and give any kind of feedback. It's long (two pages) and I'm sure there's some stuff I could cut out. I would REALLY APPRECIATE feedback and am willing to return the favor for ANY writing at all- I'm a pretty decent writer!</p>
<p>If anyone posts willing to read/help/give feedback I'll post the most recent draft of my supplementary essay.</p>
<p>Thank you!!!!</p>
