PROMPT 1: Why NYU?
Much like how New York City's magnificence is composed of the many different cultures that inhabit it, NYU - a global network university - is defined by the contributions made by its internationally diverse student body. I want to be one of NYU's students since it's the ideas shared and created between such different kinds of people from so many different places which are usually the ideas that can change and help the world, a world growing smaller each and every day. NYU is an institution that offers a wealth of academic opportunity with a plethora of programs in many different fields of study, all taught by highly esteemed and very unique educators. To say that NYU had a 'high standard' of education would be a great understatement. Finally, NYU is located in New York City, something I find appropriate not just because of the name, but the fact that New York City is the 'capital of the world'. It's only right that NYU be located in such a lively city that promotes diversity, culture, and intelligence and a city that literally changes the world every single day. A rich and varied student body, extremely revered education, and location in the greatest city in the world makes NYU an absolutely amazing and unique place to study, and I hope to attend this fall. NYU is actually also the only campus I know of that sells dollar pizza and Japanese ramen on the same block, and that's just something great and magical beyond simple words.
PROMPT 2: Regardless of whether or not you have an intended major or concentration, please elaborate on an academic area of interest and how you wish to explore it at NYU's campuses in New York or Abu Dhabi or at one of our global academic centers around the world. Please share any activities or experiences you have had that have cultivated your intellectual interests leading you to choose to study at the NYU campus of your choice.
Although I do wish to study Pre-Professional Medicine, I also wish to have a focus on creative writing, and NYU's minor in creative writing along with the program associated with it greatly appeals to me. My interest in writing was always with me, as I had indicated in my essay about my project 'The Working Man', but it was to an extent. It wasn't until I enrolled in a writing class in college where I fully discovered the point as to which writing would benefit my life and captivate me. The class asked to write an essay about a personal prompt - something that limited you. I chose to write about mypersonal . The writing was cathartic, where each personal pain and emotional scar healed as I wrote word after word, and the final essay may have been rather depressing, but it painted a vivid picture of a person silenced by his own mouth and its tone reflected the writer: optimistic. The positive reactions of my instructor to my work really motivated me to embrace writing as an academic goal and as an instrument for expression. I came to realize that Stony Brook University had no creative writing program, and then I researched NYU's program and how it's 'designed to inspire', which is what I truly wanted. If accepted to NYU, I would love to follow my goals of creative writing by immersing myself in the life of a writer, take advantage of writing events in and around Greenwich Village, and most of all, write things that could enrich at least one other person.
PROMPT 3: What intrigues you? Tell us about one work of art, scientific achievement, piece of literature, method of communication, or place in the world (a film, book, performance, website, event, location, etc.), and explain its significance to you.
The Wonder Wheel ferris wheel will always intrigue me and inspire me. When my parents first immigrated to this country, they lived with a family in Coney Island; the Wonder Wheel served as a kind of Statue of Liberty to them. Shortly after I was born, my parents saved enough to move out to Queens to start pursuing the American Dream. Much later, around 2007, my family came to visit Coney Island Boardwalk for the first time and finally take a ride on the Wonder Wheel. My little brother seemed rather unimpressed as he was expecting something on the scale of Six Flags, but I liked the place; there was some sort of comfort being in the neighborhood of your birth. I remember the Wonder Wheel being rather unimpressive, but I looked up with actual wonder at the word 'Wonder'. The view from the top took my breath away. I could see almost all of Coney Island, all of the dilapidated low-income housing my parents used to live in, juxtaposed with new apartment complexes built because of gentrification. It's as though the old was being consumed by the new - the new was trying to make the neighborhood better, and that sight gave me a kind of better understanding for my life. To this day, the Wonder Wheel will always intrigue me as being a reminder of my parent's humble roots. However, the view of the ghetto disappearing from the top inspires me to appreciate where my parent's came from, and to work hard in life to make sure my family will never have to face those hurdles again.
