To begin this writing, I want to say I am very honored to be part of the 2022 waitlist, I see it as another opportunity to prove myself worthy of Stern. I lived in Nigeria for almost nine years, and the things I saw have had a lasting impact in my life. In Nigeria, I was surrounded by extreme poverty. Many people searched and craved for a life worth living. People, even children, were begging for money and carrying heavy baskets filled with food on their head just to get enough money to support their family. I saw a way out of that: education. I knew that education had power, and I worked in Nigeria to make sure that I was a highly educated child. My life in Nigeria showed me the value of education, and that education was a privilege that I …show more content…

Stern has numerous opportunity to study abroad. Given students the chance to expand their knowledge and their limits. Global experience helps prepare students for their future careers because the world is becoming more connected than ever. It’s really essential to understand different cultures. I have had the privilege of being able to attend a college as a High School student. I go to the University of Minnesota, and I see the advantages of a diverse university. In my microeconomics class, I saw people with different cultures. It excited me because I know that NYU is a lot more diverse. I can’t wait to attend a class where everyone has different backgrounds and different ideas. Stern also gives students the freedom and flexibility to explore various subjects. It doesn’t restrict the students into following a certain path, making each students education unique. Stern gives their students opportunities to prepare themselves for the workforce. They guide them and help them succeed. Whether it’s helping build resumes or having fake interviews, they do what they can to help stern students succeed. I appreciate that in a school. My dream to go to Stern School of Business has been there for years. Truth be told I already feel part of the school. I follow all the things that happen, I’m a bit obsessed. The stern-chats are my favorite (I wish there were more.) I love the community at

At that age learning both languages was annoying, frustrating, and difficult; however that experience shaped me to be a proficient bilingual nurse present and gain benefits by being bilingual. The benefits where the many open job opportunities with the increase pay. This experience also assisted to raise my daughter to speak and write both languages actively although just not the way my parents forced it on me.

Though I had briefly visited Europe, taken a two-week bus tour to Toronto with my family, and flown back to China every few years to visit relatives, I had never really felt at home anywhere but New York.

    Most of the institutions I have applied to have discussed intensive study abroad programs, but Stern was the only one that offered an opportunity to maintain connections with classmates during the experience by sending an entire class abroad at the same time. In my experience in the International Baccalaureate program, I have learned that developing bonds with students who share my love for learning is a critical part of the establishment of my body of knowledge. Maintaining this connection in a study abroad program is something that I didn’t even truly think was possible, yet NYU brings life to this form of student community building. Furthermore, the faculty at NYU would provide me with an opportunity to learn from experienced individuals about how to compete in business. I have always had a competitive edge, and professors who have experienced the volatility of global markets and industries would help focus my competitiveness.

  • College Application Essay: The Ivy League, Without The Ivory Tower

    634 Words  | 3 Pages

    Early on when I was doing the firsts of my college-researching I watched a bunch of YouTube videos about schools to get a sense of what they wanted me to take away as my first impression. It was funny to me, because most of the videos may have been different in their details, but most were similar in their message: this is a fine institution where you will learn how to learn, and grow into a questioner and thinker, and make friends, and challenge yourself etc. But one line that stood out most of all was the Experience Penn video saying, “The Ivy League, without the Ivory Tower”—from the moment I hear that, I was hooked. It was refreshing to watch an elite institution playfully poke fun at the Ivy League, and portray exactly what I want in a university; I want to go somewhere with like-minded, hard-working students where I will learn how to learn, becoming a questioner and thinker, make friends, and challenge myself. But I also want to go somewhere where I can explore a new city, partake in spirited traditions, and—for lack of a better way of putting this—have fun.

It has been a strong desire of mine to be able to get out of the environment that I have always been in: being a student from the tri-state New York area surrounded by like-minded individuals, and venture out into a new learning environment. Deep down I sensed I was not getting the diversity that I would like, but a shared and similar viewpoint that was becoming worn. What I am looking for is a varied opinion from different sources whom have not had the same life experiences or group thinking that I have become accustomed to.
