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. (500 CHARACTERS MAX)
One trait that I see in myself and my parents is adaptibility. As a six-year-old, moving from India to the. U.S. was beyond a drastic change. However, I had already started to change my accent once I started going to school in Georgia. When I moved to New york from Georgia after ninth grade, I wasn't sure what to expect. After moving to Brooklyn, however, I realized that I was already drawing in the culture of the city. I am glad I possess an open-mind, which enables me to embrace change.
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? (500 CHARACTERS MAX)
If I had to start a club at NYU, it would be a culinary club. This club would bring together students that, like me, have a real passion for cooking, or just simply would like to learn to improve on their skills. Besides cooking great meals, the aim of this club would also be to feed the hungry in Harlem. Thus, this would not only be a good opporutunity to perfect culinary skills, but also a way to reach out to the homeless in Harlem.
You have been selected to sing in a talent show. What song would you choose? Why?
I would choose the song "Drift Away" by Kid Rock. Given my utter ineptness at singing, this song would be the perfect choice, since it has very few high notes. Furthermore, this song, with its soft and mellow tune, is easy to catch on to. Thus, the audience would be able to sing along and enjoy this song with me.
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
As a little kid, seeing my parents treat patients in rural India was definitely encouraging. It instilled in me the desire to help the sick or the poor. Furthermore, science has always been my favorite subject. My most enjoyable class in high school has been AP Biology, which opened my eyes to how much more there is to science. I believe the College of Arts and Science will help me further develop my analtyical skills and help me see through convoluted problems and be able to solve them.
