I wanted to go to NYU my whole life and in hgh school I did very well. Since I went to a small private school in Brooklyn, I knew I needed to make my application shine somewhere else. Fortunately for me, I did very well on my SAT - 1350 and I was captain of my high school basketball team for three years ( I started all four years). I was active in many activities in and out of school - volunteer work, National Honor Society, various clubs, ... etc I took a chance with my essay and did not write about what was asked on the application. I wrote an essay from the heart because I wanted them to accept me, not some B.S. fictional impersonal rablings for the purpose o impressing them and filling up a page with words. I don't know if I'd suggest this, but I suppose it worked for me. Also, over the course of four years I made a lot of friends who respected and loved me. Therefore, when I asked them to write me a recommendation letter they were honored and thrilled. Make your application shine, beccause maybe you'll get a full scholarship somewhere else and give your parents something to brag about other than - "My baby got into NYU and I'm paying a fortune."

I did nothing out of the ordinary. I think, though, that NYU values maturity and diversity more than most places. Show them that you are self-motivated enough and a standout in drive and personal goals and they'll be impressed.

I don't think NYU read my essay. Just have good SAT scores (1400+) and be towards the top of your class. I tend to meet a lot of newspaper and yearbook editors, too. Unless you fence, NYU doesn't care so much for athletics.

Test scores seem to matter more than grades do. I had high very SAT's, but my academic record while good, was not exceptional. The quality of one's academic will also be considered (I went to a top ranked boarding school). Good essays and teacher recs can go a long way as well.

I got a really high SAT score (1500) and my 3 semesters before transferring were all 4.0s. I think it would be safe to say that someone who can afford to pay for NYU stands a better chance of being admitted than someone who cannot.

I'm pretty sure it's based all on grades/test scores. I could be wrong, but I didn't really have any real extra curricular other than sports.

Work hard in high school and try to parlay a sport into NYU--it will make admissions a bit easier on your application.
