NYU has actually eliminated the "Why NYU?" essay this year. It has been replaced with an optional question in which applicants are invited to discuss their personal identity, and how they will uniquely contribute to the NYU community.

Thanks for the update, Chris! We actually recorded this episode before the announcement, so I'll add that Lydia's advice is great for other schools' "Why School" essay. For NYU's new question, we definitely recommend answering even though it's optional. When formulating an answer, remember that these sort of diversity questions don't just correspond to fixed identities like race, ethnicity, or religion but can aspect of your identity that sets you apart from most of your classmates. For example, I (InGenius Prep's Social Media Manager), wrote my personal statement about being a vegetarian.

Just got admitted ED2 to NYU Stern 4 days ago. I'm pretty sure my essays were what got me in, because my stats are really below average for a Chinese American (3.80 unweighted GPA, very few business related ECs). I did have a pretty major leadership EC, volunteering EC, and my SAT was good (1550), but I feel like compared to a lot of other applicants, I was below average. Not really sure why they let me in lmao, but I'll do my best to survive.

What EC did u have?

@angeliquewu8318 Год назад

@@jmoney222 My main EC was Shaolin Kungfu as a sport, social service, and leadership position. I'm half wondering if they let me in because I was so weird.

@raymondgao9891 Год назад

what awards did you submit to them?

@angeliquewu8318 Год назад

@@raymondgao9891 Just some writing awards I think. I don't think kungfu awards count, since the awards section specifically is for academic awards.

I am currently a highschool student getting ready to graduate this year, i did some research and i was wondering if a paralegal certification through only the CLS program and having a year or more of work experience working as a paralegal can higher a applicants chances at getting into a Ivy League law school. Thank you

@Ingeniusprep 2 года назад

Hello! It's hard to quantify the effect of these types of activities because while they're very relevant, they're also fairly common among applicants. During your gap year or during your undergraduate, I would focus more on developing and pursuing your interests so that when you apply to law schools, you have a niche you can focus on in your application such as environmental law or immigration. Your LSAT score and GPA are of course also very important.
