Hey guys! I'm currently working on my college application for NYU, and I'd really appreciate some recommendations on where to find some solid example essays. Any websites or books that could give me an idea of what a successful NYU essay looks like? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! It's awesome that you're working on your NYU essay. Checking out example essays is definitely a great idea for inspiration, but remember to always maintain your own unique voice. One resource you could explore is CollegeVine's essay guides and examples, which has plenty of insight for crafting stand-out essays for NYU and various other schools as well.
Additionally, there are books like '50 Successful Harvard Application Essays' and '100 Successful College Application Essays.' While these essays may not be specifically for NYU, they still provide valuable examples of strong essays that can help you understand what colleges are looking for in terms of structure, content, and style.
Also, don't forget that your school's writing or college counseling center might have resources, too. You can ask a counselor or a teacher for guidance and feedback on your essay. Just keep in mind that while example essays may be helpful, your own authentic writing and unique experiences should drive your essay. Best of luck with your application!
