    y'all listen to his advice about who it's right for. i'm a graduating senior looking at this video for a final project critiquing my education at NYU. but seeing a bunch of prospective applicants in the comments is making me want to offer a bit of advice.
    that is, pay attention to who he says nyu is for. urbane, cosmopolitan. there really is no campus at NYU. there is no central community, there is no central identity of 'wow, we're all in nyu together let's party.' if you are not a super curious go-getter, you will have a hard time here. because there's no sense of central community, you have to work hard to form an identity and community for yourself here. everyone has goals outside of school, everyone is living a separate life within the city, and it can be hard to make friends in classes or other classic college settings because of this. the general vibe among nyu students is that it is kind of a "means to an end" school -- you go here to live in new york and advance your career and interests, not to make college friends and have a warm, laid back college experience. it is as far from a typical college experience as you could possibly get. if that's what you want, then great, this is the ideal school for you. but i've had a lot of friends be miserable, drop out, transfer. and it's usually because of some false expectations. even for myself, i question whether the trade off of sacrificing the communal college experience for the cosmopolitan, career-oriented experience was right for me. but hey, i made it. this is just food for thought for anyone thinking of applying.
    also, if you do decide to come here: study abroad, preferably at the beginning of your sophomore year. key to making your best friends.

    I've applied to NYU for the Tisch program for early decision II. I have my last interview this month. After that, I have to wait until Feb. to get my decision letter/email. I'm so nervous, but I'm glad that they really care about people who join clubs and such. Luckily I was very involved in school with band, thespians, winterguard, and the environmental club. I'm just worried that my sat scores will affect my ability to get into the school. It's my 1st choice college though, so it would be amazing to be accepted.

    I have a question y'all. I've have done bad in both my freshman and sophomore years in high school when it comes to grades and being involved. If I involved myself with enough extracurriculars, did better in school, and got good SAT scores would I maybe have a chance or should I just go for community college at this point?

    • @eileenfloress9124

    so i've wanted to go to nyu for the longest because it genuinely seems like such a great school for me. i've just finished my first semester in freshman year and i have 5 A's and 2 B's. i'm very disappointed because those two B's were A's but unfortunately my exams lowered them. my current GPA is a 3.7, but i'm just very disappointed because I really did try my best. can my GPA still be high if I get A's for the rest of high school?

      the average student at NYU as a 3.7 GPA apparently, so you should be fine! just really study for the SAT and ACT, though, cuz I think they care about those more than your overall GPA, but they still do care about your GPA. I don't go there but I've done tons of research, just letting you know lol!!
