In addition to any work experience that you listed on your application, please tell us how you spent your most recent summer vacation.
My most recent summer vacation was nothing like a holiday! It was full of camps and events. Meetings, administrations and collaborations filled most of my time during the short 1 month break. Camps were not the end of business, I was involved in a funfair during Christmas. It was truly tiring yet satisfying holiday. I was glad that I did not waste my life away for my own comfort and leisure.

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.

Hospitality is a virtue passed down to me from my family. As the saying goes, "do unto your neighbor as you would have them do unto you." This is a doctrine that I embrace. When I visit other houses, I would love to be welcomed. I would therefore want any guest that steps into my house feel like a million bucks. Without fail, my guests will leave the house feeling that they are valued. I would thus gain more friends than enemies.

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?

New York City, with its many inhabitants committing suicide each year, needs someone to bring to it a more positive light. In order to brighten people's day, I propose to start a "pass-it-on-club" which works much like a chain email. One way this could be done Is by having member A passing a feel-good card or letter to member B, while member B does the same for member C. The next day, member A repeats the process to member D and onwards. Eventually, at least 365 people's day will have been influenced and impacted within a year.

You have been selected to sing in a talent show. What song would you choose? Why?
Holding concerts like Avril Lavigne was a fantasy that many teenagers including I fancied. Singing is a part of my life but I am never good at it. Therefore, the person who selected me to sing in a talent show must loves me so much to take this risk so that my dream can be fulfilled. In order to show my deepest appreciation for him/her, I would sing "Never had A Dream Come True" by S Club 7. "I never had a dream come true, till that day that I found you."

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.

My decision to pursue a business degree was largely influenced by my family background and the current economic situation. Reality and history have proven that Business and Political Economics are closely linked. Politics have the power to either restrict growth or expand the economy. The economic system is directly related to the performances of businesses. This fascinating relationship between these 3 subjects is mesmerizing and definitely worth studying.

For question 1:
If they ask about summer specifically you probably should not talk about christmas. You have limited space so I would cut out those sentences about christmas and the holidays and add a few sentences elaborating on what exactly you did do last summer.

For question 3:
This idea is nice but it's not really a club. (there will be no meetings or group activities) We all get those emails that people want us to pass on to other people when we get them about sharing and caring and what not. Try to think of something that interests you more specifically(like something having to do with your major) If you were into Psychology you could start a club that tries to psychoanalize various people in the media or politics and you could try to figure out what was going on in their heads that makes them do what they do. You could psychoanalyze Obama, lol. (Maybe a little far-fetched but you get the idea).

Good luck!

I think you should type one instead of 1

New York City, with so many of its many inhabitants committing suicide each year, needs someone to bring to it a more positive light. ---> Ha ha, the way you had written it, it sounded like you were saying that everyone in New York committed suicide each year! :)

This one about New York reminds me of a movie called "Pay It Forward."

...is a fantasy that many teenagers have entertained, and I was no exception. How about like this?

Again, I think you should type the word for numbers... instead of writing 3 subjects, write: three subjects

Good luck!!!!
