I used this video and I was accepted on a full ride to NYU. I am now attending and I absolutely love it here. I just wanted to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Class of 2026
Sorry If I ask, but I'm from italy so I don't quite understand what you mean by "2025 class". Does it mean you are gonna start college in 2025 or that you're going to finish your studies in 2025?
Hey Dr. Josie, I just got accepted into NYU yesterday!!! I remembered how helpful your videos on the supplement essay were for my essay and I just wanted to come back here to say thank you for the detailed help in the video!
Why are you the most altruistic person I've ever met on social media? You are doing so much for such NYU applicants like me! Thank very much for the video! You inspired me and gave me confidence
You made my day! Thanks for watching and please please take a screen shot of my channel and share it on social media so that we can reach more students! Good luck!! Next week I share an accepted NYU student essay. Make sure to sub and if you want my template PLUS academic word bank to make your why us essays stand out, check it out here - wya-academy.thinkific.com/courses/why-us-template
YES! Exactly. Follow the research steps for any school and you'll gather the right info, showing you differences in school culture and vibe, courses and projects...you'll do great. Good luck!
That's amazing!! Congrats! Please take a screenshot of my channel or this video and share it out to fellow students who will be applying soon. I appreciate it when students spread the word. Good luck!!
This is the best help I've got... Also, I suggest that you get a computer with more ram (16 GB or more) if you are planning to make videos and open this amount of tabs in chrome. Tip: Press CTRL + Shift + Esc to see RAM usage.
This video was soooo helpful. As an international student from India I have faced quite some struggle to get on board with the educational scenario in the USA and especially these essays which aren't much needed in indian institutions and i personally have no idea on how to draft one. This guide was so helpful. Lots of love and wish you huge success. Hopefully i get into NYU. If you're reading please pray 😊💗
When I'm writing an essay or a "Why this college essay" to be specific, my transitions from one paragraph to the other are quite abrupt. I'm talking about the wonderful academic opportunities in one para and then community service in the next due to the concise word limit. Can give some tips on how to improve my transition, considering the meagre word limit some colleges offer.
I hear you yes that can be an issue. You want to use transitional topic sentences that cue the shift if possible. Something like - When I am not pursuing engineering in (name is building) you can find me at (name of student org) where I’d focus on (xyz whatever they do). Then go more into detail... Another example is something like - Since a Michigan education is about academic excellence and community leadership, I am also interested in (and then you go into service in this paragraph) Hope this helps!
after the summer vacation I'll be a junior so I'm starting to research all the information and didn't find where can i research before your vido thank you now i can get all the information about nyu stern and i will be trying to practice doing a essay for the nyu stern so i can be ready when it's the time nyu is my dream school now watching your other videos about the why nyu essay
hi! I just wanted to tell you that I used this video to do my Why NYU and I got in for the class of 2026! 💜 although I probably won't be going (didn't get any scholarships) thank you very much for your help! edit: I committed to NYU! They ended up giving me a full-tuition scholarship!!!! 🤩
I'm apply as an undergraduate student in Meyers college of nursing NYU they asking me to choose between Global health nursing and nursing. Which one to choose and what is the difference between them?
Here's what global health/ nursing is - The Global Public Health/Nursing combined major merges the longstanding excellence in nursing education at NYU with an in-depth perspective on public health approaches. The major aligns with our mission of continuous progress in scholarly excellence and in innovations that advance humane and quality healthcare for all people. Students will study a variety of topics and will also work closely with an advisor to select the right mix of electives to complement individual interests and career paths. Global Public Health/Nursing graduates will be well-prepared for exciting careers in a variety of settings, including community and governmental organizations, clinical healthcare settings, and educational/research institutions. Students who complete the Global Public Health/Nursing degree will complete all the same nursing major courses and clinical hours as in the existing state-approved nursing major at NYU. Hope this helps.
Hi Dr Josie! I’m an international student planning to apply ED II to NYU’s NYC campus. Could you share some tips for the “Why NYU?” essay for NYU Stern specifically? I’m a bit lost :(
Hi Rachelle, thanks for watching. OOOH the Stern website is great. Here are some links on info I would consider for your essay. www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/undergraduate/why-stern maybe mention a professor and their work and connect it back to you - www.stern.nyu.edu/experience-stern/faculty-research as an international student why this program with its international scope would be so enriching - www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/undergraduate/international-experiences you essentially have like 5 majors to choose from, which one and perhaps a course - www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/undergraduate/academics don't forget to make it unique to you...good luck!
I don't think you should be involved on the school's social media to show interest. None of them give a crap. They have a few minutes to read your application, they aren't going to be searching for your comment in a social media post.
HI Jolly Holly. Thank you for your comment. Going on the social media is less for them to see you there and more for you to learn about their vibe, social culture and possibly mention something you see there. For sure, they are not checking whether you liked a post. Good luck!
Hi! I'm so grateful for this video. I applied for undergrad to Steinhardt my senior year of high school and didn't get in. I'm now trying again as a transfer student. Do you have any advice for transfers? Is it appropriate to mention I didn't get in before, but have worked hard to be a strong transfer applicant since?
Hi thanks for watching. You should definitely watch my transfer video. It’ll be helpful. I wouldn’t mention not getting in - in the essay. They’ll probably know that or you’ll have a place in the app where they ask. ua-cam.com/video/OmFFa0vfaF8/v-deo.htmlsi=KYuB7oqgB5c-m3Ou Good luck!
Don't know why I am watching this considering that I am a NYU student (class of 2021). Obviously, I didn't see this video before I applied and while I hit a couple of key points mentioned in the video was I missed quite a lot!! But if anyone has any questions feel free to let me know. I know what it's like to not be able to pay for private college prep and having to rely on UA-cam videos and forums for advice.
Hi Dr. Josie, Rijma khan here. This video is incredibly helpful! NYU Abu Dhabi has always been my dream place to start my PhD. Could you kindly assist me with the essay for the Biology section?
Hi Rijma so glad it was helpful! I’m focused on med school applicants at the moment but if you have any general questions you’d like to ask here, happy to respond!
@@dan-tist hey would you mind sharing some key points in the process you went through. I'm also an international student but it's a little complicated for me. Also, I know this ic a personal question but how did you work out the financial stuff. Was it easy or hard ? Did it go by quickly or not ? What other colleges/unis did you apply to?
First thing I would ask is what you talked about in your main essay. Was it about engineering or about your cultural background…any main theme about who you are or your interests that you didn’t touch on there I would use to start this essay and then connect that to a broader theme of their mission or your reasons for wanting to attend mit. Then go into you why us research, sharing person points as you go. Good luck
Hello sir, I'm Samiksha, and I'm from India ( an international NYU aspirant). I got an 1180 score on the SAT test. I know this may not be good enough for NYU, but a sparkling essay can help me get into my dream university. Seeing lots of videos about essays resulted in so much confusion that I don't know how to summarise my thoughts within a few hundred words. So, I'm seeking your guidance on this matter, and I'd highly appreciate your help. Thank you.
@@WriteYourAcceptance Ma'am I have completed my Common App essay and would appreciate it if you could please review it for me.I don't have a mentor who can help me with this topic, so if you could spare a few minutes of your valuable time, I'd be grateful.Thank you.
@@shukrat5293 if you are still struggling with it, maybe leave the intro to the end and see if you added anything personal, unique about yourself throughout. if you didn't maybe that can be your beginning. good luck!
Im a high school student, Im Dominican living in California and I want to apply to NYU (New York Campus) but my question is should I apply if I have a 3.13 GPA? I’ve took 2 college classes and I passed both with A, I also took AP Spanish and I passed the final quiz with a 5 (maximum score)
Hi Enrique, thanks for watching. I would say that any one factor should not decide for you...so if you want to apply go for it...just make sure you have a really strong essay and why NYU essay that you can show leadership and community service etc...but most compelling that you share your story. Also think about developing a varied school list...so a few highly competitive schools like NYU, a few more with higher acceptance rates and some that your stats match with etc. good luck!
Thank you for this it seems to be a very helpful video. I’m yet to start writing my essay as I will be applying next year for the class of 2026. NYU is my first priority school, so just wondering once I have completed my essay would it be possible to receive some feedback from you?
Hi thanks for watching. I don’t have an active why us for Penn at the moment. Here’s my playlist for why us essays though. They should be helpful to get a sense of how to go about crafting your Penn essays . Good luck! ua-cam.com/play/PLKu4vlYzbZ_WY78Q8Tf2gYCPOj5g9t4dp.html
@@WriteYourAcceptance omg, thank you so much for replying. You mentioned in the video that you uploaded why penn video but I couldn’t find it, hence I asked but thank you soo much for the links 🤍 I really appreciate it. Have a good day!
@@mariumimran4464 so the first line I would make it about you, something you are interested in - academically, a shirt anecdote about your extra curricular and then connect that to something you would do or learn at Penn.
I used all your advice it’s really helpful thank youuu but I think my essay is a bit over the place. And idk what to write in the last paragraph as like a closing statement or conclusion
Glad you found it helpful. Maybe for the ending refer to something you started with or a specific place on campus or something personal to you and connect that to NYU
Hi for transfer apps the essays should details some of how you have grown as a college student already and then why nyu will be a good fit for you specifically. Make sure to subscribe or put a notification- I am planning on making a transfer video soon. Here’s some links for you to start crafting the why nyu part - as.nyu.edu/content/dam/nyu-as/econ/documents/Letter%20to%20Economics%20Transfer%20Students%20-%203-21-22.pdf as.nyu.edu/departments/econ/undergraduate.html
Hey... Ur content is just fab I'm going to be applying to nyu from India nd I'm really nervous. Can u help me with essay "why nyu tandon" specifically.
Hello, I was rejected into Rice, I got a Loyola acceptance with the same essay. Maybe was just my gpa, or that I choose business and it was too much demand, do you think if I choose economics for NYU will be better? Or there is a strategy to get in with a low demanded career and later transfer? I will follow your advice now for my next 5 applications. Thank you for all your help.
First congrats on your Loyola acceptance!! Your question is a tricky one. NYU is incredibly competitive for most majors, yes I imagine some harder to get into than others but I do believe it is a holistic review of all aspects of your application.
I will be applying this year and I got to NYU removed their question Why NYU in this year applications. Can you guide me in this it will be really helpful
@@WriteYourAcceptance I think its good as they want to know about us and our passion to be part of NYU which in my opinion is only slightly different from there previous question Why NYU
@@anushakhalid9101 yes that's great but each question would require a different strategy...you should think about 1. which quote you will be selecting 2. what do you want to say about yourself...and more importantly your fit at / for NYU 3. remember that this essay should complement your main common app essay so don't repeat or contradict.
I don’t but here are some links I would gather information from!!! You should mention a course/ professor but then maybe a story from their magazine which is really great!!! Then other interests...hope this helps. nursing.nyu.edu/sites/default/files/2020-05/NYU%20Meyers%20SP20.pdf Global initiatives nursing.nyu.edu/global-initiatives Pick a research project you’d be interested in participating - nursing.nyu.edu/research
You could. What I would do is review a couple of their HEOP videos. Anything that is familiar to your experience that you can draw on or reference? ua-cam.com/video/w0eVk9LKdqs/v-deo.html
Hi NYU's nursing is great!! I would check out these nursing specific sites to see what you could connect your story with - @t @t @t They also have a magazine which you could reference. good luck!
Basically if you do early decision you are expected to attend while regular you weigh your options then decide. You can only Ed to one school. Here’s more info - www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/how-to-apply/all-freshmen-applicants/early-decision.html
Hi! The core curriculum is comprised of courses that prepare you for your major basically. Arts and Sciences has a core, stern has a core etc. Just kind of the basics, you have these items to complete - First-Year Seminarsto learn more about each one and what NYU says of the CC here's a handy site - cas.nyu.edu/core/about-the-program/the-five-parts-of-the-core.html
Will this not sound like I'm just regurgitating information from their site? Or is that what they are looking for? I Don't want to see m like I just dove into their site and pulled things to throw into my essay, but I also don't know what they want ):
So first of all there is way too much content on their website for you to regurgitate everything back to them...so it is as important what you mention to how you make a connection to it. You should watch my latest why us video because I have updated how I see this essay work best. ua-cam.com/video/TnF7UDNcHJU/v-deo.html You want to think about picking aspects of the academic, cultural, and social dimensions of the school that you would best take advantage of because you have interest in them, because you culturally connect to them and/ or because you have been doing similar kind of work already and would deepen your commitment while a student at NYU. The wrong mindset is to think about what 'they want' the better mindset is to think about how you can make the strongest case for you fitting in at NYU...and then pick resources, 'evidence' from their website and other places like IG, connecting with students etc...good luck!
When many people watch a video and write similar points dont you think NYU's decision making will change cause it will feel like when everybody is the same level the other eassays will stand out more
That's a great question...however, there are so many majors, student orgs, research opportunities and volunteer/ cultural experiences available to choose from that if you are truly thinking and researching what makes NYU a good fit for you PLUS adding your own style of writing, every essay is different. Are you applying or did you apply this cycle?
Hello! I'm really confused about people saying "I got accepted to NYU 2026" how does that go? Do you choose what year you are gonna join? Or do they have specific dates and deadlines of time periods when you should apply? Someone answer pls!
Hi, I don't have a video on CU Boulder but if it's - - At the University of Colorado Boulder, no two Buffs are alike. We value difference and support equity and inclusion of all students and their many intersecting identities. Pick one of your unique identities and describe its significance... - Please share a bit more about your academic interests. What do you hope to study at CU Boulder? What has inspired your interests in this area? Or if you are undecided, what area(s) of study are you considering? Think about your prior/current coursework, extracurricular activities, work/volunteer experiences, future goals, or anything else that has shaped your interests. for the first prompt - Make sure you pick something about you that is 1. not really in your main essay and 2. that you can connect it to community in some way...who you are to others. If you do that and start with a story about what makes you unique then continue to how you will continue to be this person to fellow peers at CU Boulder...and pick a student org community service project that you will participate in. So at the end you show them you at CU Boulder. Good luck!
if I met with an NYU professor, do you think it's important to quote what he said in the essay? Should I tell them to contact him for further reference?
Francesco Fontana hi Francesco! You don’t need to quote him/ her precisely but I would mention him/ her by name and title so like Assistant Professor Jane Austin invited me to sit on ... so more important to name the person and whatever takeaway you had from the meeting. Good luck!
Hey Dr. Josie, I'm applying ED II to NYU's NYC campus. If possible I'd really appreciate some specific tips for my Why NYU? essay as I'm applying to Pre Medical.
Hey! I am applying from the UK to NYU and a few other universities for grad school. Our application process is quite a lot different, so do these tips for essays apply for the grad school essay also? Thanks!
Hi, I don't think the prompt the same. Correct? For graduate school, usually it is program specific, you explain what you want to accomplish, who you aspire to work with there...so if you like to share the prompt I can give you more details.
Hi, Im applying to CAS with a major in Psychology but also want to show that I have interest in other core subjects like history. How would you recommend going about that? Should I put that I would like majoring in both subjects?
Hi exciting! Yes, you should put both...you should also find courses, and research opps and professors of interest...is their a study away program in history that sounds awesome. Also student orgs...how do you see yourself contributing to the NYU culture and community? good luck!
My father went to NYU and I'm a second-generation immigrant, is this worth noting in my why nyu essay? would my father being an alumni make them more or less interested in my application? thank you!
Hi! The computer science website is like a one stop shop...so detailed and easy to borrow content from. cs.nyu.edu/home/index.html on the left click on a couple research areas of interest and you'll professors and classes/ seminars on the topic...you have front page news there. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Thanks for this really helpful video As I understood, we can just copy paste and send essay, without any other paragraphs? I mean Is it necessary to write essay by your own words? Thanks in advance :)
Thanks for watching. No not at all. Do not do that. This is meant to be an example of one student’s essay. Your essay should be completely different, filled with NYU related details that are specific to you. You this as a guide as to what you should research for your self. Good luck.
Can we use some information about NYU Abu Dhabi that you mentioned in the video. Or is that something inappropriate? Also, can we start the essay with an anecdote. Essay due tomorrow zzz
I wouldn't. 1. I really didn't go into Abu Dhabi's program...just mentioned the campus and how NYU has a high number of international students and students studying away. I would mention anything that speaks to you and your candidacy specifically.
vinnie flores you’ll probably have the main essay and then the why NYU You want to think about courses, profs, students orgs like the video discusses but also why do you bring an interesting or unique perspective to IR? Can you connect IR to identity or travel or any personal experience...or can you connect any personal experience/ connection with NYU? Good luck
@@WriteYourAcceptance Thank you so much! Is there anyway we can start a professional e-mail correspondence? I would like to elaborate on my extracurriculars.
Hi Nicole, I think I just emailed you too! Advice - usually these grad personal statements are your journey but then also a little of why them, they their program unless they explicitly say another direction
Hi, thanks for watching. Is it possible, yes, is it probable is another question. Class profiles for NYU tend to be average top 10% of students with like a 3.6/3.7 unweighted GPA. For more see their details here - www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/nyu-facts.html I would say to do both, be very engaged with NYU, attend any virtual tours, connect with with admissions reps...demonstrate interest once you apply...and if the essays are the same for next cycle, then make sure you make a really compelling case as to how you see yourself thriving at NYU. research based emotion not just pure passion for the brand. I would also tell you to make sure you build a varied college list with others schools where you could succeed at and be happy at as well. wishing you a ton of luck!
Hi Silvana, how exciting! The first thing you need to do is figure out the research you’ll use in your essay. Have you seen this video yet? ua-cam.com/video/R4iLcTXR-tI/v-deo.html Then how will you add your personal touch to the essay...maybe something at the beginning...could connect your international perspective to something on campus maybe. If you want more guidance you can consider my why us template - wya-academy.thinkific.com/courses/why-us-template
@@WriteYourAcceptance Checked it. thank you so much!! I have on more question, at NYU Shangai students can't declare a major until their second year. In my essay, do I have to talk about my major or just the liberal arts & sciences program I'll be taking my first two years?
@@silvanaquenaya6127 awww yes good question - I would do both...show an interest in both the liberal arts courses in the first couple years then state how you envision your academic trajectory to graduate toward ... of your major. Good luck!

@@docteur.k4446 so usually students prep and take the SAT / ACT before or around the same time as they are finalizing their essays. Remember you will probably have the main essay in common app and the schools specific supplements like why NYU. You also have to complete common app and consider fafsa/ financial aide. Ideally this is a multi month process that you can do little by little.
Great understood!!sorry for asking too much doctor Josie , but I am a bachelor and saaadlyy I don't have time to prepare for the SAT the baccalaureate in Tunisia is hard we take it at the age of 18, my last exam is in July and I want to get into NYU so when to prepare for the SAT any other solution ??!

Probably not but I would have to know the prompt. Usually grad school why is essays have some reflection about your exp thus far within the discipline then some info about how you see yourself within their dept. who you would want to work with learn from etc. if you share your prompt we can chat more details
Thanks for the response! I have a bachelor's degree in computer science and working as a software engineer for the past few years. Applying to Masters in CS at NYU. Should I follow this template and add my work experience on top of it or it should be a different template altogether?
@@debidhar9125 I try and find the prompt here but I don’t see it cs.nyu.edu/home/master/prospective_admission.html The format would be different in the sense that it should probably be more about you and then all why NYU material through the CS lens
@write your acceptance i am applying to Tandon school of engineering. This is the link for SOP engineering.nyu.edu/admissions/online-learning/how-apply/masters-degree-application-checklist/personal-statement
@@debidhar9125 Hi yes, so this response should be different because it is not only why NYU but it is why this field and your personal journey within the field then a little why NYU through the academics. I would do something like this - [beginning] open with an anecdote about a moment when you really shined or learned that you loved CS...if it isn't in the classroom even better. *this could be in story form to see you in action with descriptive language [par 2] you explaining your interest in the program...name the program name Tandon or NYU and why...what will this program help you do for short term and long term goals maybe... [middle] hereto can do 1-2 experiences within the field. going into graduate school for a discipline is a very big commitment and super different than undergrad so any research or big projects anything that you dig to go beyond the min requirements would be of interest...keep this within your chosen field or if it is somewhat connected then toward the end reflect how it is strengthening your candidacy **this could be a couple paragraphs. [end] here is your why NYU for this program...so more important is really why this program in particular....name a professor or a course and why it is of interest...a research opportunity or a resource that will best prepare you for life beyond the program hope this helps.
This video is really helpful! Thank you! Though, I'm kinda confused on how you incorporate the homepage news into the essay. Should the headline/news relate to my major? I just don't get on how to start the essay with a news piece from the website. Also, what do I say for the major part/learning in the classroom section if i'm applying undecided to the college of Arts and Sciences?
Anthony Uriarte so a couple of choices to make. If you are applying undecided then you want to articulate why them specifically?? Is it their students organizations, networking, ethos...what is it that draws you to them behind name brand and add details about them to support it. The opening website idea is just one idea, you can always start with a personal connection to the school. Good luck!

That's amazing!! Congrats! Please take a screenshot of my channel or this video and share it out to fellow students who will be applying soon. I appreciate it when students spread the word. Good luck!!
This is the best help I've got... Also, I suggest that you get a computer with more ram (16 GB or more) if you are planning to make videos and open this amount of tabs in chrome. Tip: Press CTRL + Shift + Esc to see RAM usage.
I always have too many tabs open...it's a problem!! Thanks for the tip. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Good luck.
This video was soooo helpful. As an international student from India I have faced quite some struggle to get on board with the educational scenario in the USA and especially these essays which aren't much needed in indian institutions and i personally have no idea on how to draft one. This guide was so helpful. Lots of love and wish you huge success.
Hopefully i get into NYU. If you're reading please pray 😊💗
bips pol yay!! I’m so glad it was helpful. I wish you lots and lots of luck!!
Do you know how to fill the common app? I find it so difficult as a CBSE student!!
Did you get admission ?
When I'm writing an essay or a "Why this college essay" to be specific, my transitions from one paragraph to the other are quite abrupt. I'm talking about the wonderful academic opportunities in one para and then community service in the next due to the concise word limit. Can give some tips on how to improve my transition, considering the meagre word limit some colleges offer.
I hear you yes that can be an issue. You want to use transitional topic sentences that cue the shift if possible. Something like - When I am not pursuing engineering in (name is building) you can find me at (name of student org) where I’d focus on (xyz whatever they do). Then go more into detail...
Another example is something like - Since a Michigan education is about academic excellence and community leadership, I am also interested in (and then you go into service in this paragraph)
Hope this helps!

I'm apply as an undergraduate student in Meyers college of nursing NYU they asking me to choose between Global health nursing and nursing. Which one to choose and what is the difference between them?
Here's what global health/ nursing is - The Global Public Health/Nursing combined major merges the longstanding excellence in nursing education at NYU with an in-depth perspective on public health approaches. The major aligns with our mission of continuous progress in scholarly excellence and in innovations that advance humane and quality healthcare for all people.
Students will study a variety of topics and will also work closely with an advisor to select the right mix of electives to complement individual interests and career paths. Global Public Health/Nursing graduates will be well-prepared for exciting careers in a variety of settings, including community and governmental organizations, clinical healthcare settings, and educational/research institutions. Students who complete the Global Public Health/Nursing degree will complete all the same nursing major courses and clinical hours as in the existing state-approved nursing major at NYU.
Hope this helps.

Hi Dr Josie! I’m an international student planning to apply ED II to NYU’s NYC campus. Could you share some tips for the “Why NYU?” essay for NYU Stern specifically? I’m a bit lost :(
Hi Rachelle, thanks for watching. OOOH the Stern website is great. Here are some links on info I would consider for your essay.
www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/undergraduate/why-stern
maybe mention a professor and their work and connect it back to you - www.stern.nyu.edu/experience-stern/faculty-research
as an international student why this program with its international scope would be so enriching - www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/undergraduate/international-experiences
you essentially have like 5 majors to choose from, which one and perhaps a course - www.stern.nyu.edu/programs-admissions/undergraduate/academics
don't forget to make it unique to you...good luck!
I don't think you should be involved on the school's social media to show interest. None of them give a crap. They have a few minutes to read your application, they aren't going to be searching for your comment in a social media post.
HI Jolly Holly. Thank you for your comment. Going on the social media is less for them to see you there and more for you to learn about their vibe, social culture and possibly mention something you see there. For sure, they are not checking whether you liked a post. Good luck!
that's not very Jolly Holly...

Hi! I'm so grateful for this video. I applied for undergrad to Steinhardt my senior year of high school and didn't get in. I'm now trying again as a transfer student. Do you have any advice for transfers? Is it appropriate to mention I didn't get in before, but have worked hard to be a strong transfer applicant since?
Hi thanks for watching. You should definitely watch my transfer video. It’ll be helpful. I wouldn’t mention not getting in - in the essay. They’ll probably know that or you’ll have a place in the app where they ask.

Don't know why I am watching this considering that I am a NYU student (class of 2021). Obviously, I didn't see this video before I applied and while I hit a couple of key points mentioned in the video was I missed quite a lot!! But if anyone has any questions feel free to let me know. I know what it's like to not be able to pay for private college prep and having to rely on UA-cam videos and forums for advice.

Hi, I'm applying for MIT as international undg. And I hope to pursue electrical engineering, How could I start my why us essay,
First thing I would ask is what you talked about in your main essay.

I know this may not be good enough for NYU, but a sparkling essay can help me get into my dream university.

Im a high school student, Im Dominican living in California and I want to apply to NYU (New York Campus) but my question is should I apply if I have a 3.13 GPA? I’ve took 2 college classes and I passed both with A, I also took AP Spanish and I passed the final quiz with a 5 (maximum score)
Hi Enrique, thanks for watching. I would say that any one factor should not decide for you...so if you want to apply go for it...just make sure you have a really strong essay and why NYU essay that you can show leadership and community service etc...but most compelling that you share your story. Also think about developing a varied school list...so a few highly competitive schools like NYU, a few more with higher acceptance rates and some that your stats match with etc. good luck!

Hello, I was rejected into Rice, I got a Loyola acceptance with the same essay. Maybe was just my gpa, or that I choose business and it was too much demand, do you think if I choose economics for NYU will be better? Or there is a strategy to get in with a low demanded career and later transfer? I will follow your advice now for my next 5 applications. Thank you for all your help.
First congrats on your Loyola acceptance!! Your question is a tricky one. NYU is incredibly competitive for most majors, yes I imagine some harder to get into than others but I do believe it is a holistic review of all aspects of your application.
I will be applying this year and I got to NYU removed their question Why NYU in this year applications. Can you guide me in this it will be really helpful
Hi, what are your thoughts for the new prompt?
@@WriteYourAcceptance I think its good as they want to know about us and our passion to be part of NYU which in my opinion is only slightly different from there previous question Why NYU
@@anushakhalid9101 yes that's great but each question would require a different strategy...you should think about 1. which quote you will be selecting 2. what do you want to say about yourself...and more importantly your fit at / for NYU 3. remember that this essay should complement your main common app essay so don't repeat or contradict.
@@WriteYourAcceptance Thank you so much for explaining me I'll keep these points in my mind while writing my essay.
do you have one on nursing? love these tips!!
I don’t but here are some links I would gather information from!!! You should mention a course/ professor but then maybe a story from their magazine which is really great!!! Then other interests...hope this helps.

hey, i have a question about the application deadline, what is the difference between early deadline admition and regular deadline?
Basically if you do early decision you are expected to attend while regular you weigh your options then decide. You can only Ed to one school.
Here’s more info - www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/how-to-apply/all-freshmen-applicants/early-decision.html
can you explain the NYU core curriculum?
Hi! The core curriculum is comprised of courses that prepare you for your major basically. Arts and Sciences has a core, stern has a core etc. Just kind of the basics, you have these items to complete - First-Year Seminarsto learn more about each one and what NYU says of the CC here's a handy site -
cas.nyu.edu/core/about-the-program/the-five-parts-of-the-core.html
Will this not sound like I'm just regurgitating information from their site? Or is that what they are looking for? I Don't want to see m like I just dove into their site and pulled things to throw into my essay, but I also don't know what they want ):
So first of all there is way too much content on their website for you to regurgitate everything back to them...so it is as important what you mention to how you make a connection to it. You should watch my latest why us video because I have updated how I see this essay work best. ua-cam.com/video/TnF7UDNcHJU/v-deo.html
You want to think about picking aspects of the academic, cultural, and social dimensions of the school that you would best take advantage of because you have interest in them, because you culturally connect to them and/ or because you have been doing similar kind of work already and would deepen your commitment while a student at NYU.
The wrong mindset is to think about what 'they want' the better mindset is to think about how you can make the strongest case for you fitting in at NYU...and then pick resources, 'evidence' from their website and other places like IG, connecting with students etc...good luck!
@@WriteYourAcceptance Thanks! This helped alot.
@@krishnay7416 awesome! Good luck!!
When many people watch a video and write similar points dont you think NYU's decision making will change cause it will feel like when everybody is the same level the other eassays will stand out more
That's a great question...however, there are so many majors, student orgs, research opportunities and volunteer/ cultural experiences available to choose from that if you are truly thinking and researching what makes NYU a good fit for you PLUS adding your own style of writing, every essay is different. Are you applying or did you apply this cycle?

I need help with my CU boulder why us essay
Hi, I don't have a video on CU Boulder but if it's - - At the University of Colorado Boulder, no two Buffs are alike. We value difference and support equity and inclusion of all students and their many intersecting identities. Pick one of your unique identities and describe its significance... - Please share a bit more about your academic interests. What do you hope to study at CU Boulder? What has inspired your interests in this area? Or if you are undecided, what area(s) of study are you considering? Think about your prior/current coursework, extracurricular activities, work/volunteer experiences, future goals, or anything else that has shaped your interests.
for the first prompt - Make sure you pick something about you that is 1. not really in your main essay and 2. that you can connect it to community in some way...who you are to others. If you do that and start with a story about what makes you unique then continue to how you will continue to be this person to fellow peers at CU Boulder...and pick a student org community service project that you will participate in. So at the end you show them you at CU Boulder. Good luck!
if I met with an NYU professor, do you think it's important to quote what he said in the essay? Should I tell them to contact him for further reference?

Hi i have a 3.0 gpa and i plan to raise it to a 3.2 or 3.3. Would it even be possible to get into nyu with such a low gpa?
Hi, thanks for watching. Is it possible, yes, is it probable is another question. Class profiles for NYU tend to be average top 10% of students with like a 3.6/3.7 unweighted GPA. For more see their details here - www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/nyu-facts.html
I would say to do both, be very engaged with NYU, attend any virtual tours, connect with with admissions reps...demonstrate interest once you apply...and if the essays are the same for next cycle, then make sure you make a really compelling case as to how you see yourself thriving at NYU. research based emotion not just pure passion for the brand. I would also tell you to make sure you build a varied college list with others schools where you could succeed at and be happy at as well. wishing you a ton of luck!

@@docteur.k4446 so usually students prep and take the SAT / ACT before or around the same time as they are finalizing their essays. Remember you will probably have the main essay in common app and the schools specific supplements like why NYU. You also have to complete common app and consider fafsa/ financial aide. Ideally this is a multi month process that you can do little by little.
Great understood!!sorry for asking too much doctor Josie , but I am a bachelor and saaadlyy I don't have time to prepare for the SAT the baccalaureate in Tunisia is hard we take it at the age of 18, my last exam is in July and I want to get into NYU so when to prepare for the SAT any other solution ??! (Tight time)
:(((
My dream is fading away...
@@docteur.k4446Don't feel defeated yet. I can't really tell you when to study...I would start now, as soon as possible. I would also start thinking of others schools you would be interested in. Most students I work with apply to 7 or 12 schools. Wishing you a lot of luck!
Why Columbia I love your videos they are so helpful

Hey do you review why NYU essays?
Hi for essay reviews and pricing please email me at thedrjosie@gmail.com
Hi Dr. Josie! This is so helpful, you are the most altruistic person on UA-cam! I will be applying yo NYU by Regular Decision to the College of Arts and Science to the International Relations major. Could I sent you my Why NYU essay through email so you could take a look at it? Thank you 😊
Hi Adela, thanks for watching. Hope that was helpful. For rates and availability please email me at thedrjosie@gmail.com
Does this work for graduate school as well?
Probably not but I would have to know the prompt. Usually grad school why is essays have some reflection about your exp thus far within the discipline then some info about how you see yourself within their dept. who you would want to work with learn from etc. if you share your prompt we can chat more details
Thanks for the response!
I have a bachelor's degree in computer science and working as a software engineer for the past few years. Applying to Masters in CS at NYU.
Should I follow this template and add my work experience on top of it or it should be a different template altogether?
@@debidhar9125 I try and find the prompt here but I don’t see it
cs.nyu.edu/home/master/prospective_admission.html
The format would be different in the sense that it should probably be more about you and then all why NYU material through the CS lens
@write your acceptance i am applying to Tandon school of engineering.
This is the link for SOP
engineering.nyu.edu/admissions/online-learning/how-apply/masters-degree-application-checklist/personal-statement
@@debidhar9125 Hi yes, so this response should be different because it is not only why NYU but it is why this field and your personal journey within the field then a little why NYU through the academics.
I would do something like this -
[beginning] open with an anecdote about a moment when you really shined or learned that you loved CS...if it isn't in the classroom even better. *this could be in story form to see you in action with descriptive language
[par 2] you explaining your interest in the program...name the program name Tandon or NYU and why...what will this program help you do for short term and long term goals maybe...
[middle] hereto can do 1-2 experiences within the field. going into graduate school for a discipline is a very big commitment and super different than undergrad so any research or big projects anything that you dig to go beyond the min requirements would be of interest...keep this within your chosen field or if it is somewhat connected then toward the end reflect how it is strengthening your candidacy
**this could be a couple paragraphs.
[end] here is your why NYU for this program...so more important is really why this program in particular....name a professor or a course and why it is of interest...a research opportunity or a resource that will best prepare you for life beyond the program
hope this helps.
This video is really helpful! Thank you! Though, I'm kinda confused on how you incorporate the homepage news into the essay. Should the headline/news relate to my major? I just don't get on how to start the essay with a news piece from the website. Also, what do I say for the major part/learning in the classroom section if i'm applying undecided to the college of Arts and Sciences?
Anthony Uriarte so a couple of choices to make. If you are applying undecided then you want to articulate why them specifically?? Is it their students organizations, networking, ethos...what is it that draws you to them behind name brand and add details about them to support it. The opening website idea is just one idea, you can always start with a personal connection to the school. Good luck!
@@WriteYourAcceptance Applying ED 2, I just found out a couple days ago that I GOT IN!!!!! I just wanted to thank you for helping me write such an amazing essay!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

I'm glad it was helpful! For any inquiries please email me at thedrjosie@gmail.com

this video was helpful in ways i cant list
love to hear it!! so glad it helped! good luck. are you applying this cycle?
@@WriteYourAcceptance yes but as a transfer student
@@barraqsohail2114 good luck, make sure you share details about why the specific transfer so maybe reflect on positives if where you currently are then go into what you would specifically gain from the transfer.
Good luck!
@@WriteYourAcceptance I'll make sure to do that. Thank you 💖
@@barraqsohail2114 good luck!
My Dream school! I wish I didn't have a learning disability my life would be so much easier.
You can turn your disability into determination, in fact your disability might make you stand out and make NYU pick you, don't let it stop you. Good luck I hope we both get in!
@@cybergr4pe what is learning disability
NYU-STERN specifically?
I wouldn’t approach the essay differently...I would just focus your research on their courses, research opportunities and experiences...along with adding your own twist to the beginning or the format to show some dimension of who you are specifically.
I just wrote about how I was going to suck the energy from the people frolicking around New York
That's another way to go. lol
you're amazing
Srinath G. Thank you! Please take a screenshot of my channel and share it on social media. Would love to reach new students!!
