<p>I'm planning to apply ED to NYU, but their app online from the NYU site, they said you only need to do one essay from their choices, while on the common app (which I'm using) theres one short answer , one personal statement for the common app, but also in the NYU supplement, there are four personal statements that you have to do. Why is that? so its like for NYU I have to write 6 personal statements/essays if I use the common app .</p>
<p>You can just call the admissions office to get your answer.</p>
<p>For Common App
1)Essay
2)Short Answer
3)Four Personal Statements</p>
<p>For NYU App
1)Essay
2)Four Personal Statements</p>
<p>There is an extra short answer in the Common App. NYU wants you to do more work for the common app. It shows that you would do whatever it takes to get into NYU and that you aren't being lazy in using the Common App.</p>
