Holt could you please look at my NYU supplement before I submit? Thanks.
I am working on Barnard by the way.
Throughout my college search, every college formed a different personality in my mind. NYU's personality came out to be multi-cultural, logistician, and open-minded.
Coming from an immigrant family, I am a synthesis of the Eastern and Western values. My combined identity has given me a larger worldview to appreciate people from different cultures. A mosaic of world cultures, NYU would contribute to my global citizen identity, and I would be able to contribute back to NYU through NYU CMEP by building bridges with other cultures.
At NYU, I would like to major in Mathematics. People often ask me, "Why math?" and I tell them that it is about my personality. My objectivity takes me to organized solutions, and my creativity induces new ideas, allowing me to thrive. I love that the world can be illustrated through the lens of math. I once read an article that the spiral in a seashell could be explained by using a math equation and shared this fact with other people I came across. I want myself and others to see the universe through these lenses. Interested in both pure and applied mathematics, I chose NYU in particular, because these two areas of math coexist at The Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.
Furthermore, I am interested in studying abroad through the Moscow Program. I read that the Russians have always taken a creative approach to studying mathematics; the idea of an in-depth study of the material seems wonderful to me. As the mission statement of the program states, "Not memorizing theorems and proofs, but discovering mathematics - this is our principle!" I always believed in learning for the sake of learning, rather than memorizing, especially after my AP Calculus teacher recommended to read the book, "Doing School," by Denise Pope. In addition, as a Big Sister mentor in the Students in Action team, I taught children math through fun, educational games instead of plain worksheets. I see learning as a combination of experience, creativity, engagement and, even, having fun. This combination is uniquely at NYU. It is the only school that would provide me outstanding life experiences and allow me to extend Mathematics beyond the classroom. I want to be part of a community where I will be able to gather and apply knowledge anywhere possible and work with students like myself, who crave what the world has to offer. Luckily, I stumbled upon NYU.
