Marketing is an inevitable part of human life as we are always trying to convince people of our view, which is how I have grown up. At NYU Stern(insert comma) I will gain theprofessional skills(insert comma) enter the marketing world(insert comma) and impact it in a positive way.
The second "a" can be removed.
I would use a stronger verb such as invoked or conjured.
"the skills" is sort of awkward; professional skills sounds...well...PROFESSIONAL!
;)
You have a great background. Good luck!
Alright.. I revised it.
Hope it sounds better.
And does it aptly answer the prompt?

In my opinion, you must talk more about NYU...the final statement does include NYU but no specific reason as to why you intend to study there. Also, you need to include an ECA. The language seems perfect, though!
@Silkesha: Could living in dubai be considered an expereince since they ask for EC or Expereince?
Thanks alot though! :D
