NYU's application process was relatively run-of-the-mill, with the
standard common app, available online or in paper form, and the standard
info requested. However, they gave numerous choices for the essay, which
guided and helped me in writing exactly what I wanted to write. The
topic I chose was to select a work of art and discuss it's influence on
my life. I found it a refreshing way to discuss myself. As for
selectivity, I applied to the Gallatin School of Individualized Study,
which accepted only 120 students out of nearly 5000. So it is very
selective. Gallatin places a lot of weight on writing ability and
writing courses taken in high school, so the essay is a great place to shine.
