<p>Ok on commonapp it says
"In evaluating your candidacy for admission, we are interested in making the best match possible with all that NYU has to offer. As a result, we are curious to learn about your academic and personal interests and how those interests relate to what we offer in the idea capitals of the world in which NYU campuses are located.
Please address, in your essay response, the following:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Given your NYU campuses of interest - whether they are your primary and alternate home campuses of interest or where you would like to study away while you are a student - where, exactly, would you like to study at NYU - and why?</p></li>
<li><p>Whether you are undecided or you have a definitive plan of study in mind, what are your academic interests and how do you plan to explore them at NYU?"</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Do they want us to write a single essay addressing both or an essay just choosing one? So far I've looked at it as just doing both but I'm running out of words. </p>
