Undergraduate / Like a good book, New York University keeps getting better every time I read (well, research) it. [3]

After the tour, I researched NYU extensively online. While doing this, I stumbled upon exploration floors, one of my favorite aspects of NYU. These floors, which I haven't seen at any other school, will alleviate the stress of worrying about who my roommate will be because I know she'll be awesome. I can live on a floor with other geeks and potentially go to Comic-Con or room with comedy fans and attend a taping of The Daily Show. Either one sounds like a great option to me.

I can offer NYU the unique perspective of a determined, quirky individual. When I care about something, I'll accept no less than my best on it. I'm passionate about school, for example, and I've turned in all of my homework assignments on time throughout middle and high school. (I'd say that the same goes for elementary school, but third grade was a rough year. I had to move to a new hallway, which logically resulted in me losing the majority of my homework.)

I think that in the first paragraph here, you should change the section about your future roommate. They want to know about what NYU can offer you as a serious institution, rather than another school in the city that can enable you to get to comic con or have a room mate. In the second paragraph you should reconsider the section about homework. If you do it all, it will be shown through your grades, so it seems a little unnecessary. Good luck!

Undergraduate / When writing this supplement for NYU, I shouldn't regurgitate everything provided in the pamphlets. [3]

Note: This supplement is incredibly rough. I'm trying not to make it so stereotypical and generic. Help??*
NYU is global, urban, inspired, smart, connected, and bold. What can NYU offer you, and what can you offer NYU? (200-400 words)
Whilst visiting the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, Dean Carey noted that when writing this supplement, I shouldn't regurgitate everything provided in the pamphlets. So, other than the structured interdisciplinary Applied Psychology program that can equip me with the tools needed to make career decisions, I think that NYU can provide me with a home within my home of New York City. NYU is a globally known university that attracts students from a variety of ethnic, social and economic backgrounds. Therefore, the cultural hub can supply me with a diverse community, enabling me to gain an education in and outside of the classroom. NYU can also help me pursue my academic interests, especially in studies on human development and behavior through the core curriculum and fieldwork. Majoring in applied psychology at Steinhardt can also allow me to minor in art history, a more recent interest taken up through summer classes on the subject. NYU holds a special place in my heart. I've seen its iconic torch emblem around the city and in my own home for as long as I can remember.

I NEED A TRANSITION HERE ON WHAT I CAN PROVIDE NYU I'm the friend who takes a cab from the end of East Houston, to Soho in order to buy snacks and school supplies for others, then back to the East River Park to watch their soccer game. I'm the person who travels from Elmhurst, Queens to Park Slope when a friend is in need of a hug and a burrito. Every Thursday after school, I take a different friend out for waffles just to get to know someone new every week. I treat my friends like my 4 siblings, close and cherished. I've been told to be the physical manifestation of Bill Withers' "Lean on Me." I'm culture, community and family oriented, which is an attribute I can use to contribute to NYU's campus. I can also take advantage of the lessons I have learned through my participation in the Random Acts of Kindness Club, as well as the Young Democrats Club, in order to create close, inclusive groups and enact change.
