Undergraduate / NYU supplement Why this college?! [5]
Please comment on errors or bad sentences! Thanks in advance!
Please tell us what led you to select your anticipated academic program and/or NYU school/college, and what interests you most about your intended discipline.
Applying as undecided I currently prefer the Business & Political Economy program over the co-major in International Business. Both appeal to me as I want to educate myself to work in an international corporation or organization. I am interested in learning about the interaction between politics, economics and business in this closely connected world. The unique opportunity to gain first-hand experiences in the world's financial centers would give me an invaluable advantage in my future career. Characters 500/500

Undergraduate / Village Records/ better to give than to receive/I went to Nashville; 3 NYU Short Answers [4]
I would leave out make changes in the first answer... I think propose new ideas already says it in a charming way.
Third answer is of course brilliant but maybe paraphrase it a bit at the end saying something like "As there was little damage to the town we did not care about our backs hurting"

Undergraduate / NYU 4 Short Answers (family, life at NYU, talent show...) [3]
I'm looking for any grammar errors as well as overall feedback... Be as harsh as you have to be! Thanks in advance...
In addition to any work experience that you listed on your application, please tell us how you spent your most recent summer vacation.
The first two weeks of the summer vacations I spent in Tennessee with my dad's family. I got to see my 3 year old half-brother who in my eyes is the cutest baby of the world and my stepmother who helped me keenly in my decision to study in the United States. In the other half of summer I went to Spain along with my soccer team. It was a combination of a vacation trip and a training camp. The week in Spain was a complete success because of the fun we had and our good first round in the league. Characters 498/500
Describe a trait or characteristic that has been passed along to you by your family. Tell us why you like or dislike this aspect of yourself.
My mother the most influential person of my life has lived in 5 different countries. The only way she was able to do so was due to her open mindedness. As her friends came from all parts of society I learned to never judge a book only by its cover. She put a lot of emphasis on this open minded behavior so it is no coincidence that this trait was passed on to me. I am now a person who truly enjoys meeting people of all kinds and experience different cultures both at home and when travelling. Characters 495/500
New York City is an essential element of academic and cultural life at NYU. If you could engage in an activity or start a club or service organization at NYU, what would it be and how would you envision it impacting the larger community?
I would join the Amnesty International at NYU club. I think that Amnesty International is worth supporting because they uphold the human rights which are fundamental to our society. Especially in a university where the freedom of speech is essential it is of major concern to reveal where it is not. Students being the future leaders of our society need to be aware of those issues and encouraged to get active. Furthermore the community will benefit of leaders with good ethical values.

You have been selected to sing in a talent show. What song would you choose? Why?
I would sing Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry". First of all I think Bob Marley is one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century, period. Furthermore I connect this song to one of the few memories I have of myself as a child in Costa Rica. I was on the beach of my Caribbean village when I first listened to the song. The sound of crushing waves mixed in. I would have a great time both sharing a part of myself and impersonating the Bob Marley signature dance. Everything would just be alright. Characters 495/500
