Application Experience

New York University Application Guide:


1. NYU applications are not all determined by examinations. What is more important is how you show your comprehensive strength to the recruitment teacher. This includes the writing of documents. No matter how good the strength is, it cannot be displayed. The difference between American schools and Chinese schools lies in the emphasis on personality, leadership and personal potential, which can be well reflected through social activities and works. We can focus on the course of struggle and how to overcome difficulties to achieve success. Show your excellent quality! Personally, I think these elements account for 70% - 100% of the whole application. That is to say, if your personal ability is excellent, the school will also want you if your exam results are not so good.


2. In principle, only international awards will be more helpful to schools applying. In the next time, try to participate in more social practice activities, or some competitions with international influence, which will have greater advantages. In addition, when you have these experiences, you must not forget to ensure a relatively good college score, TOEFL score and GRE/GMAT score.
