  • Why NYU Essay (READING ACCEPTED STUDENT’S ESSAY)// The Why NYU Essay has four major requirements you should hit. Why NYU essays that worked are deep dive research of how the school, the academics and the social environment will be a great fit for you meaning this why nyu supplement, like other supplemental essays contains very specific detail about 4 aspects of university living. Unlike the coalition app essay or the common app essay prompts, this text is less who you are and more how you will adapt to their institutional culture both within and beyond the classroom. In today’s video, I share why nyu essay examples from students happily calling NYU home right now. This college essay tutor not only lived and thrived there for two years (attaining a Master’s in Literature) but after reading and helping students research thousands of why nyu supplement essay examples, I guide you through the process. Why NYU means they want to know why they are above any other option or school you are applying to. How to write a why college essay that works is directly linked to how well you get to know the school through research. Any great why nyu sample essay will reveal that the student dedicated time and effort to research, visiting the campus and talking to Write Your Acceptance experts like me!
    Here, I will show you how to first organize your why nyu supplement essay example into four steps; my strategy also works for other why did you choose this college essay sample. These types of college essay prompts have a formula I share. After writing this one version, you can borrow the template to plug in other why us college essay examples. Also don’t leave without watching other videos on common app essay examples to guide you through the main essay. As a college essay tutor, let me remove all the stress of these essays and other common app essay topics, and let’s start to write your acceptance.

    Hey I need some help with my essay! I am applying ED to the Clive Davis Institute at Tisch, and they ask for several essays too: so I have a lot of overlapping content in my writing. Also, I'm having trouble with my material standing out from others. If you have any advice that would be great!!

    • @WriteYourAcceptance
      @WriteYourAcceptance  3 года назад

      Hi Julianna, thanks for stopping by. Main thing is that overlapping topics is okay but you don't want to overlap specific content. Meaning - you can mention in 1-2 sentences about a summer acting program you did in your main essay but then dedicate a supplement to that summer program...so it would be a lot of new content there. How to stand out...imagery, description, sensorial details. You should watch these videos on great beginnings ruclips.net/p/PLKu4vlYzbZ_UGQXEw9qWNrynJGgE2Trnr
      you also want to think about varying your structure...but dance between story and reflection. Good luck!!

    • @WriteYourAcceptance
      @WriteYourAcceptance  4 года назад +1

      HI there! If you can make it your own somehow...connect it to your life, your values then I would consider it but a direct Here's NYU's motto then jump into why you love the school won't separate you from the pack which is what you want. If you can't make it unique then I would start with something specific about you.

    • @WriteYourAcceptance
      @WriteYourAcceptance  2 года назад

      Hi Angela, do you have 2 essays to write? It's been a couple years since I have worked on a nursing transfer...if so, you want to divide your content...you should do a why us based off of the nursing research. They have a great magazine, and professors you can name, classes you can discuss as to why they are of specific interest to you...also research and community opportunities. For the main common app style essay you should check out my college essay playlists for brainstorming and writing tips. good luck -

    do u know if the admissions committee defer from a school to another at NYU? For instance, if someone's applying to STERN will their application be reviewed by different people from someone's whose applying to TISCH?

    • @WriteYourAcceptance
      @WriteYourAcceptance  3 года назад

      This is a complicated and GREAT question...it's kind of no but with a caveat. How I understand it and let me just say that the absolute best people to speak on this matter is the admissions office but my two cents. The colleges and departments offer their enrollment number goals based on space and finance. Then there are kind of liaisons for each major program that works or advises for the admissions dept...so the programs have someone informed in the room so to speak. For like Tisch and Steinhardt then yes their creative supplements or tryouts will be 'graded' by the specific program and then that gets factored into the admissions...from what I understand it is the same main admissions that offers acceptance for undergrad.Hope that helps.

    Hi, Im working on my Why NYU? essay right now and I'm applying to the dance BFA program at Tisch. I've been working on it for a while, but I feel like I'm stuck and I don't know how to include all of the right stuff. Do you have any tips for how I can approach the essay/set it up?

    • @WriteYourAcceptance
      @WriteYourAcceptance  2 года назад

      Well first thing I would ask if what's your main common app essay about? Because if you start that one with an image/ or story of you dancing or waiting in the wings then I would not use that here...but if you do not then maybe you can use that here. Also, think about your aspirations with dance...yes you want to go for dance, but do you want to go pro, one day open a school, combine dance and movement with something else ...also then make sure you have specific Tisch and NYU related info throughout...good luck!
      another thing you can think of is starting with an anecdote of doing another sport altogether, how weight lifting was great for your turn out or how learning to dance flamenco helped you with...another idea would be to narrate the dramatic scene from your favorite ballet and get into its historical significance or how others have reimagined the dance and how you have reimagined your role within dance in a similar way.

      @@glamour-qp5dw yes ok got it...this is specifically for the why NYU supplements...there are a number of schools that have 250 word why us essays.
