[i]Please address, in your essay response, the following:
1. Given your NYU campuses of interest - whether they are your primary and alternate home campuses of interest or where you would like to study away while you are a student - where, exactly, would you like to study at NYU - and why?
2. Whether you are undecided or you have a definitive plan of study in mind, what are your academic interests and how do you plan to explore them at NYU?
You may have one or many campuses, schools, colleges, programs, and/or areas of interest, so please elaborate on your interests.
I love NYU in New York City for its student diversity and cultural fusion. Students there may be Hispanic, Asian or even Africans coming from thousand miles away. I probably never heard about their country name or saw the color combination of their beloved country's flag before. Also, I would be very likely to pronounce their name incorrectly and so would they. Thankfully, there exists a community, called NYU, located in the most bustling New York City, gathers us together with the mutual hope to transcend the racial, gender and even religious differences to pursue academic excellence and to acquire a global vision.
Additionally, the beautiful epitomes of American time-honored history, such as Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Metropolitan Museum of Art, drive me to explore more about its fascinating culture formed by ethnic intermingling. There sparks the irresistible beauty of cultural integration and shines the compelling mystery in which different races interweave. Thus for me, to expose myself to new ways of living and thinking is the ultimate goal of studying at NYU.
Studying at NYU, I believe, will also help me implement my tenet in a broader sense since I have a yen to become an invaluable part of the Silver School of Social Work. I am passionate about volunteering and doing community services because the happiness reaped and the inner satisfaction gained are unparalleled. On a sunny day of 2012, I went to visit the mentally-challenged children at an adoption institution in Chengdu, China. There, smiles were the only form of communication that they clearly and fully understood. I smiled at them when they won a round of hopscotch, and they, in return, smiled bigger smiles in gratitude. We smiled together to the sun, to the sky, to the rainbows and to the nature around us. I continuously brought sunshine and light to others through my smile. I hugged each of them when I was leaving, with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face.
I know so well that personal fulfillment comes from making contributions to the world around us. I intend to combine my love for social work and sociology with my passion for justice, and dedicate my lifetime to alleviating the social discrimination and injustice in New York, in China and the larger world. To obtain that goal not only requires passion, but more importantly, it needs knowledge. Therefore, I cannot wait to join Silver School of Social Work at NYU. I aspire to achieve the beauty of humanity through attending your prestigious social work program.
Any general or critical or harsh comments are welcomed!!
And thank you for the time!!:)
