NYU supplemental question help! A little vague...

Applying to College

<p>I have a question about one of NYU's supplemental questions.</p>

<p>"Regardless of whether or not you have an intended major or concentration, please elaborate on an academic area of interest and how you wish to explore it at NYU's campuses in New York or Abu Dhabi or at one of our global academic centers around the world. Please share any activities or experiences you have had that have cultivated your intellectual interests leading you to choose to study at the NYU campus of your choice."</p>

<p>I want to go into finance, so i was planning on writing about that, but the question states that it wants an academic area of interest? does that mean NYU wants you to write about math, reading, or science specifically?</p>

<p>if it does mean math, reading, or science, should i choose to write about a course in math because finance involves math, or would it be alright to write about english?</p>

<p>Finance is an academic subject genius.</p>

AHAHAHAHAHAHA</p>

<p>Write about anything you want to. Write about finance. Write about anything you’re interested in - as long as you can study it, it’s considered academic. You can write about reality TV (intelligently, of course) and it could easily be considered as an academic fascination with entertainment/sociology/whatever/etc. etc…</p>

<p>But keep in mind that the question asks you to “elaborate on an … area of interest and HOW you wish to EXPLORE it AT (one of) NYU’s campuses”.</p>

<p>Don’t think about the question too much you are over analyzing it. I am planning on majoring in Chemistry at nyu so I wrote about my passion for Chemistry. You should base it on your major, because your major is the main area that you will be focused on in college.</p>
