Hey guys, I was just wondering if NYU cares about demonstrated interest? I've been researching schools and it seems like some value it more than others, so I wanna make sure I prioritize my efforts correctly. Thanks!
Hey there! You're right that some schools value demonstrated interest more than others. For NYU, demonstrated interest is not a significant factor in their admissions process. They generally focus more on your academic performance, test scores (if submitted), extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and essays. With that said, it's still a good idea to show enthusiasm for the school, which can come across through a well-researched and thoughtful application.
So, while it's not necessary to go above and beyond to display your interest in NYU, making a genuine effort to understand the school's values, programs, and opportunities can make your application stronger. This will show admissions officers that you've taken the time to learn about the school and can truly articulate why you'd be a good fit there.
In summary, focus more on presenting a strong application that highlights your strengths, passions, and fit for NYU rather than stressing too much about demonstrated interest. Good luck with your application!
