Hi!
I was wondering for my NYU supplement should I be telling a story? Like I was going to write about how I got interested in international business and how NYU would be a good school for that. Would it be better if I just wrote about NYU? I’ve started writing it and the part about why I’m interested in international business is already 200 words (the limit is 400).
Thanks!
You can get as creative as you want with that essay. Just make sure to be as specific as possible, and to avoid “writing a love letter to New York City.” (This was mentioned on the NYU admissions blog.)
@koreanstudent ok thanks!!
Being creative is definitely a plus, especially at a competitive school like NYU. Writing a dry “I like NYU because…” essay often gets you weeded out pretty quickly.
The one thing that was mentioned several times in our tour of NYU from the admissions counselors was to be creative in your essay. My daughter was very creative in hers and she’s hoping to get in as this is her first choice. Good luck!!
