Common App Essay (word limit 250-650): 1 (Online)
The essay demonstrates your ability to write clearly and concisely on a selected
topic and helps you distinguish yourself in your own voice. What do you want the
readers of your application to know about you apart from courses, grades, and test
scores? Choose the option that best helps you answer that question and write an
essay of no more than 650 words, using the prompt to inspire and structure your
response. Remember: 650 words is your limit, not your goal. Use the full range if
you need it, but don't feel obligated to do so. (The application won't accept a
response shorter than 250 words.)

Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so

meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If
this sounds like you, then please share your story.

The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success.

Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect
you, and what did you learn from the experience?

Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you
to act? Would you make the same decision again?

Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be

an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that
is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you
and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.

Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your

transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or
family.

University Supplement Essay- 1 (online)

We would like to know more about your interest in NYU. We are particularly
interested in knowing what motivated you to apply to NYU and more
specifically, why you have applied or expressed interest in a particular
campus, school, college, program, and/or area of study? If you have applied
to more than one, please tell us why you are interested in each of the
campuses, schools, colleges, or programs to which you have applied. You
may be focused or undecided, or simply open to the options within NYU's
global network; regardless, we want to understand - Why NYU? (400 word
maximum)
