Hi! This is my first thread and I really need help on my college supplement for NYU, all criticism appreciated!
Prompt:
1. Given your NYU campuses of interest - whether they are your primary and alternate home campuses of interest or where you would like to study away while you are a student - where, exactly, would you like to study at NYU - and why?
2. Whether you are undecided or you have a definitive plan of study in mind, what are your academic interests and how do you plan to explore them at NYU?
Response:
Computers have always played a large part in my life. It stands to reason then, that I would like to further explore my interest and comprehension with the subject for my future career. My father built his own company based on Apple computers since the Macintosh SE so I spent most of my life surrounded by the newest computers. I knew whatever I did in my future it would be related to computers. As I grew older, I had a better, more exact idea of what I would do. I would become a software developer. As of right now, I'm focusing in on a future in the field of computer science. Programming for me provides a new, different view on computers. I'm not restricted to what a certain application or script lets me do; now I'm restricted by my own knowledge, and with a college education at NYU-Poly it would remove even more barriers, increasing the quality of my products.
I had many choices for schools where I could better hone my skills but nothing fits better for me than New York University's Polytechnic Institute. With its location near Brooklyn Heights, it's always a bridge away from downtown Manhattan. NYU-Poly's proximity to New York City helps with the business aspect of software development. There would never be a shortage of different individuals to meet and connections to make. Another benefit of NYU-Poly's urban location is that it isn't like other small town or rural campuses; it's in one of the most-populated cities ensuring that there is always some thing to do. As a person who likes to meet new people and learn from them I can't think of a better place to be then one of the greatest cities on the planet.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the questions and find them quite dry but do your worst!
