<p>Hey guys, I was just wondering, for those who applied to NYUSH...how much chinese experience do you have?
Like are you fluent? Taken classes? Visited? Just wondering...
Also, for some reason I'm finding it very difficult to find information about NYUSH...anyone else?
And lastly, are you attending the event in April?</p>
<p>I’d say I have quite a lot of chinese experience, seeing as I’m asian haha…I can speak fluently, though my vocabulary is pretty limited, and I can read and write a tiny amount. And yeah, I would like to know a lot more about NYUSH, especially their majors, but I guess we’ll find out at the event. I’m going to the one in new york!</p>
<p>I’m not in NYUSH ,but I know quite a lot about Shanghai, so if anyone wants more insight on Shanghai, tips, tips on learning chinese, feel free to contact me!</p>
<p>I am Chinese myself and I grew up there. Feel free to ask anything.</p>
<p>Hey! I was accepted to NYUSH EDI, there isnt a lot of info on it because this is the first year it is open, so not even the admissions officers know what the criterion are for acceptance. I actually have little to no Chinese experience, I grew up in Texas in a school that didn’t offer classes. However, I visited China last summer (the summer before my senior year) and absolutely loved it. I had been reading books about China and stuff since my freshman year and I want to study international business/finance. I actually wrote my entire common app essay about China, because it didn’t matter where I would go, I still planned to at least minor in Chinese. </p>
<p>However, I have talked to a lot of other people who were accepted ED as well, and many of them have literally no Chinese experience, someone actually said that they were surprised that NYU is letting them just pack up and leave to live in China when he knew next to nothing about it! But thats the most exciting part of the experience, going to a place that is potentially completely foreign and it essentially being sink-or-swim time. I am sure everyone will adjust, it might just take a little longer than normal :)</p>
<p>For ED, the event is in March. I actually am leaving on the 20th along with a few other students. (They have the ED students split up into groups leaving at different times in March to visit, in fact, I think some of them are already over there now!) I am not sure since I did not apply RD or EDII when or if they are visiting, but from your comment about April I would assume that they would be visiting sometime then! </p>
<p>Did you apply/were you accepted?</p>
<p>@thawowtso Congrats! BTW do you speak Chinese? Or are you taking Chinese classes?</p>
<p>Absolutely no Chinese experience here, accepted by RD. I speak English, French, and Spanish but no asian languages! I did really emphasize my love of different cultures and languages, though, so I think that might have made up a little bit for my lack of knowledge. (It’s so neat that so many other people that got in know Chinese, though, it’s really making me want to take up lessons soon.)</p>
<p>haha, no I dont speak chinese nor am I taking any classes. I only speak English 
itll be a hard adjustment</p>
<p>I have taken 2 years of Chinese in high school and spent the summer of working in Taiwan. That being said I really would not consider myself proficient in the language haha. I really should have more considering I am half Asian, but hopefully 4 years at NYUSH will change that.</p>
<p>4 years of exposure, if utilized well, will take your Chinese to a whole new level.</p>
