if you don’t mind, I’m attending NYU in the spring as a spring admit. As someone also coming from a low income family, what are the options that you took? Sorry if this is too intrusive.
Gonna be a senior at NYU in the fall, and I can definitely say that from experience financial aid is something you have to actively work for. Having really good grades and extracurriculars in highschool was what helped me SO much when it came to paying for school. Mind you, my parents make less then $20,000 a year. Work study is really helpful, but my biggest suggestion is to appeal your financial aid if you are a returning student. You'd be surprised how much you can get.
For me personally my family doesn't make much money, but their not incredibly poor either. From what I've read the financial aid I'd be eligible for is still under the average amount of tuition with financial aid so that's always a plus. Is it hard getting financial aid for the school? That's my main concern at the moment.
I disagree with the poverty thing. I’m low-income and first gen, and I got a scholarship and fin aid that allow me to go to NYU this fall. FUTURE NYU-ers: DON’T BE DETERRED FROM APPLYING BC OF THE FIN AID!!!!
I am really happy that you were financially supported and are able to attend NYU! I was just speaking from a macro level that overall 90% of students at NYU are above the average American income. Of course there are some like yourself who have been given financial support, but the vast majority of students here come from economically privileged backgrounds which goes against the supposed diversity we so pride ourselves on. Just wish more people realized this about NYU. Best of luck in the fall!
I'm having college midlife crisis now, and I originally heard that NYU is really great- but after reading so many bad reviews and looking at how expensive it is, I'm so confused on what to do. NYU seems so lovely, and I'm applying to colleges this fall, but idk if it's all worth it.
Trust me when I say I heard the exact same thing. I wanted to go to NYU all my life but then I read some negative things on it. What I learned is that any and every single school in the world has some negatives about it, but often time it is different for everyone. One could hate it, while others will love it. It’s just how it is. So I went ahead and applied anyway and I’m so glad I did because it was the best decision of my life. I got in and went to see for myself that NYU truly is an amazing school.
The prestige definitely helps. My friend studied social work at a NY state school, it took him months to find a job. My other friend went to NYU Silver School of Social Work and got a job internship offer a week after he graduated.
After stumbling upon this video, it was very interesting to see your different details about NYU. However, my personal favorite was the discussion about financials. I was admitted to NYU ED for the upcoming fall semester. Elated, I was, until I received my financial aid package. Coming from a low-income, working class family, the funds "provided" to me were completely insufficient for me to attend school. The package did not even come close to my FAFSA determined contribution (which might I add was already extremely high). Due to the poor financial aid package given by the NYU financial aid office, I will not be able to attend what was once my dream school. It is sad that you either have to be "very poor or very rich" to attend this school with no financial burdens. Maybe I might try again for grad school, it would be more worth my time and money anyways.
I'm a senior at NYU and I have a lot of friends and some family that attended as well. I strongly disagree that you or your family need to have money for you to there. Yes some people have parents that make good money and can afford to pay the high costs of an NYU education but a majority of students take out loans and work just like any other college. NYU is very inclusive and diversified in terms of race, class and economic background. I hope no one was deterred from attending because of what was said in this video. Student loans student loans student loans!
I am glad you have been able to attend NYU despite its costs and I by no means wish to deter anyone from attending based on the financial means. However, it has been well documented that the majority of NYU students are more wealthy than the average american. I am speaking from a macro level that overall most students do not come from lower economic levels, which I was surprised to learn after attending and why I included it in this video. If you don't believe me, this New York Times piece is worth a read www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/college-mobility/new-york-university
The economy is always up and down and will continue to be. You cannot make what will be a life changing experience based on fear. With the steadily rising costs of food and housing alone, education is no exception. You NEED a degree just to survive. In Ny for example, employers actually have the gall to ask their dog walkers to have a bachelors degree, which is completely INSANE!! That is the world we live in. Most families cannot survive without government assistance without an education. So rather than be uneducated and poor, be educated and learn how to manage your debt. It’s foolish to make an important decision like going to college based on what may or may not happen in the economy. Education will NEVER go out of style.
ManeGirl Kelly That's why public colleges exist, the student debt crisis happened because of thinking like this. I just graduated and I'll be able to pay off all my loans by the end of the year. My decision to attend an affordable college in NYC wasn't based on fear, but on forethought and reasonable expectation about what the post college work environment is like (hint hint, its bad). Encouraging naive 18 year olds to take out huge loans is irresponsible as hell.
I think context matters here as well although generally I would agree with your statement. If you're someone applying for say, the NYU accelerated Nursing program you'll be guaranteed a well paying job post graduation so it's worth the cost. Also, considering there are loan repayment options for people working in healthcare that are gov subsidized. However, if you major in something that doesn't guarantee a job and attending this college leaves you in huge debt I agree with you. Quite sad that over 44 million Americans collectively hold nearly $1.5 trillion in student debt, but it's reflective of a broken for profit system that has also commodified war, healthcare, prisons, etc.
Alayto • well you have to wait for that year's common application to come out. And it doens't usually come out until august/september of your senior year. and the deadline is Nov. 1.
Name recognition to random people you meet or know isn’t a good indicator of how prestigious a school is. As far the hiring managers, and more important people will know about relatively obscure schools matter than the average person
Great job! Very honest and candid assessment of the school. I both went to grad school and worked in "the bureaucracy" there. NYU is not easy. As you mentioned, there are tremendous opportunities available in New York City when you're a student there. I'm glad you're studying journalism! Related to the format of video blogging: If you haven't already, see the movie EIGHTH GRADE. I think you'll really enjoy it.
I just graduated from NYU in 2017 and was deciding between NYU and William and Mary!!! I was so distraught and dramatically cried for a week about it prior to seemingly randomly choosing NYU. I had the most amazing experience at NYU and do not regret anything at all, but I also had a sort of fomo from not going to W&M; I just had this feeling that I would have had an equally amazing experience there and would have really clicked with the student body and felt at home. So this is completely fascinating to me to see that you transferred from William and Mary to NYU! I hop e you're loving NYU
Hello! I am from Romania, last year in highschool and I am interested in this university. Can you please tell me how you got in? What was the process and all of that?
NYU is one of my top schools! And i’m interested in journalism as well! Although sometimes I wonder if I’d prefer the publishing industry or creative writing 🤷🏼♀️
Really loved this video and how hilariously true your comments were. I'll be a senior in Stern this fall, and something I definitely didn't know about before coming here was how different and distinct the culture of each school within NYU would be. Stern obviously doesn't have the best reputation among NYU students (understandably) and I always feel like I have to follow up by saying "I'm a nice person I swear!"
Glad you could appreciate it and yes that's another good one! I learned quickly that CAS students (me) are very different from Stern lol but it's good to keep that in check bc we are all NYU students :)
Thank you for making this video! I am interested in NYU and now, I’ve got a better idea about the school and I feel like I’m more interested because it’s a great school and seems like it would fit me well.
i'm planning to move to NY and attend a community college soon to see if the state's for me while also getting my general ed classes done, then i plan on *hopefully* getting in to NYU
Nikka Agustin BMCC has a partnership with NYU. They are literal best friends. Look for Jennifer Cachola at BMCC she works with students interested in NYU specifically or simply transfer help. Check out NYU CCTOP, NYU POISE if you are STEM for a full ride or NYU Criminal Justice. Hope this helps! Have a faith and stay peaceful ⚜️😇⚜️.
@@xiaoyichen4802 hi i saw your comment that said you just went through the application process and i was wondering if you could maybe review my essay or give me some tips and info on NYU?
i'm about to start my freshman year here and i'm kind of freaking out but i'm mostly excited as hell! i also wanted to leave a comment here for anyone who wants to go to nyu but is worried they can't due to finances. my family is not necessarily wealthy (we don't live in poverty but without financial aid there's no way i could've gone to any school other than a community college.) nyu (cas) gave me a really awesome scholarship because of my academics throughout high school, as well as a work-study opportunity. the rest of the cost is being covered by federal loans, so we're not immediately paying for anything other than books (as far as i'm aware lmao!!) i was really worried that it was impossible for my family to afford this school because i'd been told that they don't give out money, but if you have a good record, it's totally worth a try! (and before anyone yells at me about how horrible taking out loans can be, i know hahaha. i'm on the pre med track and hoping that whatever hospital i end up at will help me pay them off! i'm not suggesting that anyone should put themselves or their family in a ton of debt for college lmao) (also, i totally get that the finance discussion was based off of statistics, i'm not trying to argue, just sharing what i've experienced!!)
She said “It’s a privilege you have to have a lot of money” ik a lot of people that go there that had a rough life and still made it so one dislike rich girl👎🏾
You oaf. Many of the students there go into a lifetime of debt because NYU is notorious for offering very little financial aid. That is the point she was trying to make. Sadly, for many, the "power" of having a degree from NYU doesn't pay off.
girl from south NYU offers applicants the CSS profile which can grant additional scholarship money especially if you are really involved in your community or school
@@svideos5754 The overwhelming vast amount of financial aid awarded at NYU is need based. Most students from middle income families would have to take out TONS of loans to pay for NYU. Of those who do qualify for need based aid, only 3% have their full need met. Even these students must take out TONS of loans. This is well known.
Tiana Brown omg lucky uuuu u got accepted?? I'm so jealous 😭😭😭😭😭 pray for me so I can get accepted too pls 😭😭😭💕💕💕❤❤❤❤ IM SO HAPPY FOR UUU❤❤❤❤❤ let's meet there!! Haha ❤❤
I’m a prospective student and I noticed that you said you are a journalism major. I’m interested in going into journalism and I was wondering if you could make a video specific to that. In other words, what is is like to be a journalism student at NYU? Btw I love this video it was so informative!!
Sophia Lina yes I can definitely put that on my list of videos to make! Def check out my vlogs too bc that gives you a sense of what it is like being a journalism student here :)
can you make a video on the social aspect of NYU? how easy is it to make friends and what are the activities ppl do for fun? do you miss having a traditional college experience like at William and Mary?
I'll be applying this month. Hopefully I'll get in, and since I'm not a US citizen, I really hope that I'll make at least a few friends in the first months to help me cope with the stress of being absolutely alone in a new place
I applied to NYU twice, and honestly, as a NYC native, I knew how overrated the university was before I even applied there. It is what it is. And no, I did not attend NYU, either as an undergrad or a grad student, and I don't regret it for an INSTANT. NYU is overrated.
Great question- since this video is from a few years ago I can say that I am now a grad student at NYU, so maybe yes? Lol. Undergrad is what people tend to think of with the school though.
Hi, thanks for the great video!!! I’m applying this fall, so excited!!! Can you tell us a bit more about the bureaucracy that you were talking about? Like maybe some examples of how you get things done in a more detailed way. For example with the classes you have mentioned, how the process is like. Once again, thanks for all the info and pleaseeee answer my question. Thank you!!!
great question! so for such a big university to function there are a lot of offices, online sites, and policies that keep everything running. So for example, I am trying to get out of the first year fall meal plan requirement bc I am junior but i transferred so they are trying to force me to buy this meal plan. I am having to jump through a lot of hoops to get out of this policy. I have never actually met someone in person, but have had a couple phone calls and will have to get some paperwork done. essentially, there are just a lot of structures set in place to keep things running and each person has their own task i.e. professors only teach and office administration only knows what their office covers. i wouldn't not come here just for this, but it is a more negative aspect of the school bc it can be annoying/frustrating at times. Hope that helps!
It's cool seeing a video from someone who transferred to NYU as I also am thinking about transferring as my top choice in the US, however, I currently go to CUNY and I hear a big part of the NYU experience is the fact that it's in the city so I'm not sure if it's worth the thousands of extra dollars for tuition. Thoughts?
I don't know the specific stats, but NYU has a high percentage of international students. I am sure it is competitive as it is hard to get into generally, but they do look for geographical diversity. Definitely think it's worth applying! Good luck :)
I an considering applying for nyu, but what's the drama program like? I dont know why it's a different name from the rest of the college. Also, what does it mean to be on the waitlist? And can you re apply another year?
W&M is a great school and can be a good fit depending on what you want for your college experience. I have been asked about it given I transferred out, which I addressed in this video th-cam.com/video/-KMv8FPUXhI/w-d-xo.html let me know if you have any other questions!
I have a few questions. When you’re first attending NYU, is it impertinent that you get a job for food purposes? Like I’m wondering what resources you have access to in that regard when you’re boarding there? And also, what types of jobs do students usually get because I’ve heard a lot of them say they don’t have time for other activities outside of their internships (maybe that’s their income?) or school?
you don't have to have money to go to college. There are a ton of scholarships, loans and grants that people use to pay for college, especially for those who are in the lower class
SimplySarah NYU gives very little financial aid so i think what she was saying was that it’s more of a “you need to have more money otherwise you’re gonna need a ton of student loans”
chasethe pup personally I have found it hard to make friends here just because it isn’t as strong a community but it probably is also because I was a mid year transfer. There are certainly lots of clubs you can join, like I am part of the newspaper which is great. Pretty much any interest you have I am sure you can find here. Hope that helps!
I hope you are not putting NYU on the same level as Columbia or many of the New England colleges and universities in terms of academics. The location is perhaps its major strong point but in terms of quality look east and north. It is a good American (not necessarily top ranked) school however for the investment many European and Canadian Universities provide more rigorous and challenging programs
That is not necessarily true. NYU has an very broad range of programs and schools. You can't possibly lump everything together and say that location is only the strong point, and the academics are not highly ranked. Stern School of Business is one of the best businesss schools in the country. NYU Langone medical school is #3 in the US. College of Arts and Sciences had about a 13% acceptance rate this year. That is almost the same as Cornell. Seems pretty good to me.
thank you so much for posting this! this video was really helpful and full of insight! i’m considering applying to nyu! i live in a small town and from the few times i’ve visited the city i’ve loved it!
Hi, you probably won't read this comment,I just found your channel and I love it, I find it really interesting and informative, my dream it's to go to NYU and I'm not completly sure of what I want to study, but journalism is something that it's in my top options, do you recommend it?. I mean do you think it is a worthy carrer to study? And what do u recomment to start doing in high school if you want to pursuid this carrer.
I did read this :) and I actually have made two videos talking about the program, so check those out. And I didn't do anything journalism related in high school, but if you want to, school newspapers are always a good way to go. I am now working in marketing actually but my journalism degree definitely helps
not very lol, for undergraduate studies. the students' caliber could be much higher. but from what I've seen there are a lot of outstanding professors, so you can definitely make the most of it
Hi! Where in Chicago/Illinois are you from?! I’m from Illinois too! I want to major in Business and NYU is definitely a school I looked into for a while!
I want to go to NYU so Bad but I know I will never be able to I live in Oregon and it’s a lot of money to get into NYU and I don’t have it so I will never be able to go 😢
I’m going to be applying early admission to the school of professional studies this fall for their real estate program. Have you noticed any negative stigma from NYU students regarding SPS? or do you generally know how students like it? Thanks :)
That's a great question. I am not super familiar with SPS bc it does seem kind of separate in some ways from the other NYU schools, but I did have a class in an SPS building last semester so it is still well integrated. I can't speak to how well students like it there but I wish you the best of luck with applying!
Do you know what nyu is looking for while recruiting students? Like, general grades, sat score, etc., and if not do you know where I can look for that?
Great question, I have a video about this called "watch this if you're applying to NYU" where I address this! Hope it helps: th-cam.com/video/14Mm2zkrhxU/w-d-xo.html
Hi there! i want to apply this med school and email there like a thousand time but all they send is a link which includes requirements and curriculum but don't answer the questions straight. I want to know, can i study online at this med school and attend the elective in my home country? Is there's any way to send special application that we want to study here online due to tons of personal reason and we can attend elective in our home country?
great question! with the subway system it is easy to get around to almost anywhere in NYC. there are also lots of ubers and taxis when needed too. Navigating the city is very easy to learn and everything is much closer together than in suburban areas which is great bc it's all very accessible
The first thing you should learn is what trains take you home. Once you know that, then everything is easy and you can make your way from everywhere. Also, trains that run mostly on the same lines are the same colours, so that's easy too.
The name power isn’t as important as you think, it’s your talent, experiences, and personality that makes you stand out. I’m probably about your age and you seem wildly naive.
Margaret Mahoney yes certainly, I 100% agree. I have just been really surprised by other people’s reactions when I say I go to NYU. It is very different from when I went to W&M which most people I knew hadn’t heard of. I don’t like it because I think hard work is more important but I thought I would share my experience given the purpose of the video
Most kids that go to NYU are out of towners that wanna be in NYC. Going to school in NYC was a NO THANKS for me. Enjoy your time here. You might end up staying.
As I touched on in the vid, the main things I found to be unexpected were the bureaucracy that is so pervasive at NYU and the overall lack of economic diversity despite them preaching that it is a diverse school
Hi, Darcey. I’m from Brazil and I would like to know if there’s any type of scholarship for international students at NYU and how could I apply myself for it. (But if it hasn’t, how could I apply anyway, because in Brazil we have a different system for applying to universities)
NYU has so many schools and majors so you can pretty much pursue any career here. You can apply for financial aid and scholarships. Look online at NYU's website for more info
Lmaoo I'm a junior at nyu and have been thinking about making a video about going to school there for a while now. It would be awesome if you had any tips on making a first video!
I'm no expert by any means, but my best advice is to go for it. You don't need to have the best camera, lights, mic, I started my channel on my iPhone. If you are making quality content people will be interested. Hope that helps and lmk how it goes :)
Darcey Pittman thanks so much for the reply I'll try and record something and see how it goes. I'll probably do it from the point of view of a tandon student at nyu since we do kind of get under represented at school lmao
After the past week or so, I would say it go way harder. The tuition for medical grad students is tempting for anyone even considering anything medical related.
@@iisstay1463 I haven't looked super deep into it but I think it's for all NYU med students. NYU isn't a state public school and living in NY doesn't mean anything for cost.
@@iisstay1463 For New York state or city public schools like SUNY or CUNY, the tuition is free for in state I think. But NYU is priate and doesn't play by state rules.
ya i think it does, although I am not familiar with it. NYU has pretty much anything you could want to study because there are several schools that make it up like Tisch is for drama and art, Stern for business, and so on
NYU also takes other scores, like ACT and AP tests. I didn't do those but they are worth looking into if you are concerned with your sat scores. Talk to your counselor about the other options as well and see what they think. A 1320 to 1500 is the middle 50% for last year according to the internet.

Hi! I got accepted to NYU! I am a transfer student and I'm going to NYC next month!
Where did you transfer from?
leeann h George Mason University Korea!!
kim sosa what is stats??
Hello! I am from Romania, last year in highschool and I am interested in this university. Can you please tell me how you got in? What was the process and all of that?
kim sosa stats are measures like gpa, extracurricular activities, test scores etc
NYU is one of my top schools! And i’m interested in journalism as well! Although sometimes I wonder if I’d prefer the publishing industry or creative writing 🤷🏼♀️
Erin Renzi none of the majors you mentioned are going to pay your bills once you graduate.
East CoastGuy But if that’s what they love doing then the pay check should just be secondary. I’m sure they’ll find a way
oh my god same! i'm applying to NYU for journalism (among a couple others) but NYU is the top!
I'm from Chicago too! I'm going to NYU in the fall as a freshman
me three! i'm applying to nyu and it'd be a dream to get in :)
Really loved this video and how hilariously true your comments were. I'll be a senior in Stern this fall, and something I definitely didn't know about before coming here was how different and distinct the culture of each school within NYU would be. Stern obviously doesn't have the best reputation among NYU students (understandably) and I always feel like I have to follow up by saying "I'm a nice person I swear!"
Glad you could appreciate it and yes that's another good one! I learned quickly that CAS students (me) are very different from Stern lol but it's good to keep that in check bc we are all NYU students :)
I totally agree with everything you're saying. I'm going into my sophomore year and I'm really thinking about transferring.
NYU is definitely my dream school
Thank you for making this video! I am interested in NYU and now, I’ve got a better idea about the school and I feel like I’m more interested because it’s a great school and seems like it would fit me well.
i'm planning to move to NY and attend a community college soon to see if the state's for me while also getting my general ed classes done, then i plan on *hopefully* getting in to NYU
Nikka Agustin BMCC has a partnership with NYU. They are literal best friends. Look for Jennifer Cachola at BMCC she works with students interested in NYU specifically or simply transfer help. Check out NYU CCTOP, NYU POISE if you are STEM for a full ride or NYU Criminal Justice. Hope this helps! Have a faith and stay peaceful ⚜️😇⚜️.
I’m a junior and I’m going to apply to NYU this fall! Wish me luck
Good Luck! I'm a rising freshman in CAS who just went through the application process so lmk if you have any questions:)
@@xiaoyichen4802 hi i saw your comment that said you just went through the application process and i was wondering if you could maybe review my essay or give me some tips and info on NYU?
I've just finished my first year at NYU and what you said is 100% true, I just couldn't have articulated it as well as you have.
i'm about to start my freshman year here and i'm kind of freaking out but i'm mostly excited as hell! i also wanted to leave a comment here for anyone who wants to go to nyu but is worried they can't due to finances. my family is not necessarily wealthy (we don't live in poverty but without financial aid there's no way i could've gone to any school other than a community college.) nyu (cas) gave me a really awesome scholarship because of my academics throughout high school, as well as a work-study opportunity. the rest of the cost is being covered by federal loans, so we're not immediately paying for anything other than books (as far as i'm aware lmao!!) i was really worried that it was impossible for my family to afford this school because i'd been told that they don't give out money, but if you have a good record, it's totally worth a try! (and before anyone yells at me about how horrible taking out loans can be, i know hahaha. i'm on the pre med track and hoping that whatever hospital i end up at will help me pay them off! i'm not suggesting that anyone should put themselves or their family in a ton of debt for college lmao) (also, i totally get that the finance discussion was based off of statistics, i'm not trying to argue, just sharing what i've experienced!!)
I'm also starting at nyu this fall
She said “It’s a privilege you have to have a lot of money” ik a lot of people that go there that had a rough life and still made it so one dislike rich girl👎🏾
Alayto • how is she rich especially if she struggled with money while going?
You’re just jealous lmao and 1 dislike is not gonna do anything so your opinion doesn’t matter
You oaf. Many of the students there go into a lifetime of debt because NYU is notorious for offering very little financial aid. That is the point she was trying to make. Sadly, for many, the "power" of having a degree from NYU doesn't pay off.
girl from south NYU offers applicants the CSS profile which can grant additional scholarship money especially if you are really involved in your community or school
@@svideos5754 The overwhelming vast amount of financial aid awarded at NYU is need based. Most students from middle income families would have to take out TONS of loans to pay for NYU. Of those who do qualify for need based aid, only 3% have their full need met. Even these students must take out TONS of loans. This is well known.
Just got accepted yesterday! This video was super helpful and excited to see if all for myself this fall!
This video was so so interesting!! Spilling all the tea girl get it hahha
Great Video on Lipton Hall in 4K: th-cam.com/video/eVxzmYGg0ts/w-d-xo.html
great video!! I’ll be at nyu in the fall so this was interesting. Also, where did you get your shirt it’s so cute!
glad I could help you! and they actually gave shirts out for free during welcome week so keep a look out :)
Omg lucky u!! Congrats!! I just started my application! NYU is my dream uni ❤💕😭
Omg same I'm starting next year fall my dream school since forever I'm trying to major in art therapy
Tiana Brown omg lucky uuuu u got accepted?? I'm so jealous 😭😭😭😭😭 pray for me so I can get accepted too pls 😭😭😭💕💕💕❤❤❤❤ IM SO HAPPY FOR UUU❤❤❤❤❤ let's meet there!! Haha ❤❤
I am applying ED in November! Hope I get in, it's my dream school
Same yo!!! What program r u applying to?
I’m a prospective student and I noticed that you said you are a journalism major. I’m interested in going into journalism and I was wondering if you could make a video specific to that. In other words, what is is like to be a journalism student at NYU? Btw I love this video it was so informative!!
Sophia Lina yes I can definitely put that on my list of videos to make! Def check out my vlogs too bc that gives you a sense of what it is like being a journalism student here :)
going to school in nyc is priceless best eduation go to cuny; city; hunter ; queens brooklyn college; john jay for 2 - 3 grand a semester?
Nyu is so expensive so I'm def going to one of those schools
Its name has power behind it, but it's not as powerful as SUNY Morrisville, also known as the Harvard of the cornfields.
I make my decision between Columbia College Chicago and NYU in a couple of weeks. This was really helpful, thank you!
Are you going for film by chance? My son has been looking at film schools and Columbia is one we are going to look at.
can you make a video on the social aspect of NYU? how easy is it to make friends and what are the activities ppl do for fun? do you miss having a traditional college experience like at William and Mary?
that's such a good request, I hadn't thought about doing a video on that. I will add it to my list :)
I'll be applying this month. Hopefully I'll get in, and since I'm not a US citizen, I really hope that I'll make at least a few friends in the first months to help me cope with the stress of being absolutely alone in a new place
Did you make it 👏
I'm born and raised in Queens, and I'm planning to apply to NYU this year as a senior in high school
Omg since you transferred can you do an advice video on transferring to another school?
I have a couple videos that you might find helpful! th-cam.com/video/XW2hqGHXrAg/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/-KMv8FPUXhI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you!
I applied to NYU twice, and honestly, as a NYC native, I knew how overrated the university was before I even applied there. It is what it is. And no, I did not attend NYU, either as an undergrad or a grad student, and I don't regret it for an INSTANT. NYU is overrated.
I'm applying to NYU right now, I got 1400 on SAT and my GPA is 4.0 - do you think I will get in?
did you get in?
Nathalia Velasco yes but I chose to go to UCL in London, England :)
Mihaillo Pusica nice!!
Stop being a pussy
I love it, very good. I live in NY. I'm planning to apply for the next fall.
Hi there. I found that the video is useful and you just got my subscription! I wonder if the name brand thing is the same to graduate student?
Great question- since this video is from a few years ago I can say that I am now a grad student at NYU, so maybe yes? Lol. Undergrad is what people tend to think of with the school though.
Hi, thanks for the great video!!! I’m applying this fall, so excited!!! Can you tell us a bit more about the bureaucracy that you were talking about? Like maybe some examples of how you get things done in a more detailed way. For example with the classes you have mentioned, how the process is like. Once again, thanks for all the info and pleaseeee answer my question. Thank you!!!
great question! so for such a big university to function there are a lot of offices, online sites, and policies that keep everything running. So for example, I am trying to get out of the first year fall meal plan requirement bc I am junior but i transferred so they are trying to force me to buy this meal plan. I am having to jump through a lot of hoops to get out of this policy. I have never actually met someone in person, but have had a couple phone calls and will have to get some paperwork done. essentially, there are just a lot of structures set in place to keep things running and each person has their own task i.e. professors only teach and office administration only knows what their office covers. i wouldn't not come here just for this, but it is a more negative aspect of the school bc it can be annoying/frustrating at times. Hope that helps!
Coincidentally I talked about this in my latest vlog that just went up so if you want to hear me talk about it more, check it out
the early decision result is coming in a few days...I'm literally feeling stagnant about the school, but I'll be so happy if I get in
Le Lyu how’d u do?? I got in and was so shook
meebeepup Congrats! I got rejected though (sad)
Le Lyu aww I’m so sorry :(((
@@meebeepup I got in lol!
Alexander Estrella OMG GRATSSSSSS!! Where’d u get into?
It's cool seeing a video from someone who transferred to NYU as I also am thinking about transferring as my top choice in the US, however, I currently go to CUNY and I hear a big part of the NYU experience is the fact that it's in the city so I'm not sure if it's worth the thousands of extra dollars for tuition. Thoughts?
People within academia know of W&M. The common perception of schools is not the same as the industry's perception.
I’m from Australia and wondering is it hard to get into nyu as an international student?
I don't know the specific stats, but NYU has a high percentage of international students. I am sure it is competitive as it is hard to get into generally, but they do look for geographical diversity. Definitely think it's worth applying! Good luck :)
Darcey Pittman thank you :)
I an considering applying for nyu, but what's the drama program like? I dont know why it's a different name from the rest of the college. Also, what does it mean to be on the waitlist? And can you re apply another year?
thanks so much for this video
I think I want to go to William and Mary😂 I know this video isn’t about it but I’m curious to know what you or other commenters thought the school.
W&M is a great school and can be a good fit depending on what you want for your college experience. I have been asked about it given I transferred out, which I addressed in this video th-cam.com/video/-KMv8FPUXhI/w-d-xo.html let me know if you have any other questions!
Go to about 9:50 in the video I just linked because that is where I discuss W&M
Thank you :)
your energy in this video is so natural & i love the editing! great video :)
Ashvini K aww thanks and I have changed how I am editing so I am glad it is paying off!
I have a few questions. When you’re first attending NYU, is it impertinent that you get a job for food purposes? Like I’m wondering what resources you have access to in that regard when you’re boarding there? And also, what types of jobs do students usually get because I’ve heard a lot of them say they don’t have time for other activities outside of their internships (maybe that’s their income?) or school?
you don't have to have money to go to college. There are a ton of scholarships, loans and grants that people use to pay for college, especially for those who are in the lower class
SimplySarah NYU gives very little financial aid so i think what she was saying was that it’s more of a “you need to have more money otherwise you’re gonna need a ton of student loans”
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaseeee make a video about tips about nyu essay i really need it i am applying this month
I have talked about this, watch this vid: th-cam.com/video/14Mm2zkrhxU/w-d-xo.html good luck!
Got an internship at NYU starting next week. You kind of make me fear of isolation!
Why is it important NYU, "name power"?
Is it easy to get a job after graduation around NY?
I lived in New York my whole life I still am but I never considered going to college out here
hii would you say that it’s hard to make friends in NYU? Also how do you find clubs you like?
chasethe pup personally I have found it hard to make friends here just because it isn’t as strong a community but it probably is also because I was a mid year transfer. There are certainly lots of clubs you can join, like I am part of the newspaper which is great. Pretty much any interest you have I am sure you can find here. Hope that helps!
I found it hard too. I'm thinking about transferring after this semester
I hope you are not putting NYU on the same level as Columbia or many of the New England colleges and universities in terms of academics. The location is perhaps its major strong point but in terms of quality look east and north. It is a good American (not necessarily top ranked) school however for the investment many European and Canadian Universities provide more rigorous and challenging programs
That is not necessarily true. NYU has an very broad range of programs and schools. You can't possibly lump everything together and say that location is only the strong point, and the academics are not highly ranked. Stern School of Business is one of the best businesss schools in the country. NYU Langone medical school is #3 in the US. College of Arts and Sciences had about a 13% acceptance rate this year. That is almost the same as Cornell. Seems pretty good to me.
thank you so much for posting this! this video was really helpful and full of insight! i’m considering applying to nyu! i live in a small town and from the few times i’ve visited the city i’ve loved it!
Hi, you probably won't read this comment,I just found your channel and I love it, I find it really interesting and informative, my dream it's to go to NYU and I'm not completly sure of what I want to study, but journalism is something that it's in my top options, do you recommend it?. I mean do you think it is a worthy carrer to study? And what do u recomment to start doing in high school if you want to pursuid this carrer.
I did read this :) and I actually have made two videos talking about the program, so check those out. And I didn't do anything journalism related in high school, but if you want to, school newspapers are always a good way to go. I am now working in marketing actually but my journalism degree definitely helps
@@DarceyPittman thank u :)
I will check those videos
How academically rigorous is NYU?
not very lol, for undergraduate studies. the students' caliber could be much higher. but from what I've seen there are a lot of outstanding professors, so you can definitely make the most of it
Hi! Where in Chicago/Illinois are you from?! I’m from Illinois too! I want to major in Business and NYU is definitely a school I looked into for a while!
I am from Aurora, IL. Hbu? NYU is a great way to be in a city like Chicago but it's even better :)
I want to go to NYU so Bad but I know I will never be able to I live in Oregon and it’s a lot of money to get into NYU and I don’t have it so I will never be able to go 😢
I’m going to be applying early admission to the school of professional studies this fall for their real estate program. Have you noticed any negative stigma from NYU students regarding SPS? or do you generally know how students like it? Thanks :)
That's a great question. I am not super familiar with SPS bc it does seem kind of separate in some ways from the other NYU schools, but I did have a class in an SPS building last semester so it is still well integrated. I can't speak to how well students like it there but I wish you the best of luck with applying!
I like your sound! it is beautiful.
Am in 8th grade and am really hopping ro study there
I’m an incoming freshman and this is literally so helpful 😂❤️ thank youuu
Julia Wanger I recently made an advice for incoming nyu students video so def check that out if you haven’t! Best of luck this fall 😊
Do you know what nyu is looking for while recruiting students? Like, general grades, sat score, etc., and if not do you know where I can look for that?
Great question, I have a video about this called "watch this if you're applying to NYU" where I address this! Hope it helps: th-cam.com/video/14Mm2zkrhxU/w-d-xo.html
@@DarceyPittman oh sick thank you so much! ill go check it out! :)
Hi there! i want to apply this med school and email there like a thousand time but all they send is a link which includes requirements and curriculum but don't answer the questions straight. I want to know, can i study online at this med school and attend the elective in my home country? Is there's any way to send special application that we want to study here online due to tons of personal reason and we can attend elective in our home country?
Hey I'm from Australia how can I come to this school as an international student I want a bachelor's in psychology undergraduate
Check out the NYU website. All details regarding your degree and visa and application process is put up there clearly :)
Love this ! 😛
can you do a video about how you got into nyu/william and mary? thanks!
I don't think sharing my stats would be a very helpful video so what would you want to know about? What would be helpful?
@@DarceyPittman If you don't mind me asking, what was your GPA? pleasee
@@josefamaripan I discuss GPA in this video: th-cam.com/video/14Mm2zkrhxU/w-d-xo.html
I got into nyu as an international student for the class of 2024. And even i might not be able to attend solely because i cant afford it.
Carla Maeda I’m in the same boat. NYU has been my dream school for year but I can’t justify 80k a year for education
Camille Therese did u get any financial aid? What will you do?
Carla Maeda I didn’t get any aid so I can’t go :(
Do you think its best to dorm or school from home also i live in long Island is nyu far thats my dream school I really wanna attend nyu
how easy was it in the means of navigating around the city. I am coming from RI which is kinda really suburban.
great question! with the subway system it is easy to get around to almost anywhere in NYC. there are also lots of ubers and taxis when needed too. Navigating the city is very easy to learn and everything is much closer together than in suburban areas which is great bc it's all very accessible
The first thing you should learn is what trains take you home. Once you know that, then everything is easy and you can make your way from everywhere. Also, trains that run mostly on the same lines are the same colours, so that's easy too.
The name power isn’t as important as you think, it’s your talent, experiences, and personality that makes you stand out. I’m probably about your age and you seem wildly naive.
Margaret Mahoney yes certainly, I 100% agree. I have just been really surprised by other people’s reactions when I say I go to NYU. It is very different from when I went to W&M which most people I knew hadn’t heard of. I don’t like it because I think hard work is more important but I thought I would share my experience given the purpose of the video
Do they offer law school scholarships? Full funded
Most kids that go to NYU are out of towners that wanna be in NYC. Going to school in NYC was a NO THANKS for me. Enjoy your time here. You might end up staying.
Is there anything that's unexpected or different from what you thought before coming to nyu?
As I touched on in the vid, the main things I found to be unexpected were the bureaucracy that is so pervasive at NYU and the overall lack of economic diversity despite them preaching that it is a diverse school
Hi, Darcey.
I’m from Brazil and I would like to know if there’s any type of scholarship for international students at NYU and how could I apply myself for it. (But if it hasn’t, how could I apply anyway, because in Brazil we have a different system for applying to universities)
NYU has a lot of helpful resources online. Check this out: www.nyu.edu/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/how-to-apply/international-applicants.html
What was your gpa your first year ?!!
What type of Careers are in NYU?
Can we have a scholarship?
NYU has so many schools and majors so you can pretty much pursue any career here. You can apply for financial aid and scholarships. Look online at NYU's website for more info
Does nyu have a major for game design or animation?
You are so gorgeous 😍
Love it
you spelled "one" wrong
Lmaoo I'm a junior at nyu and have been thinking about making a video about going to school there for a while now. It would be awesome if you had any tips on making a first video!
I'm no expert by any means, but my best advice is to go for it. You don't need to have the best camera, lights, mic, I started my channel on my iPhone. If you are making quality content people will be interested. Hope that helps and lmk how it goes :)
Darcey Pittman thanks so much for the reply I'll try and record something and see how it goes. I'll probably do it from the point of view of a tandon student at nyu since we do kind of get under represented at school lmao
@@joshramcharan3042 I heard Tandon...
@@TheAsianMelon what about it
@@joshramcharan3042 I'll be there tomorrow :D
Just got in...Oof
2:21 "maybe Columbia I guess" you damn wrong. Definitely Columbia
Do you have a Drama department?
RebeccaM 136 yes, NYU has a great drama program, it’s in the Tisch school I believe
Thought this was going to be a whole ass exposé, just know NYU isn’t for the poor and intelligent if u know what I’m shayin 💸💸💰💰💰💰
Is it noisy around you all the time?
yup pretty much, I live in the city that never sleeps after all! But i'm used to it now
Was it hard getting a dorm being a transfer student?
I was worried about that but actually no it wasn't in my experience
That’s great for you, kudos!
Would it be hard to get into the Nursing program ?
After the past week or so, I would say it go way harder. The tuition for medical grad students is tempting for anyone even considering anything medical related.
Tommy Gao even if you live out of state? i thought the tuition thing was only for instate residents
@@iisstay1463 I haven't looked super deep into it but I think it's for all NYU med students. NYU isn't a state public school and living in NY doesn't mean anything for cost.
@@iisstay1463 For New York state or city public schools like SUNY or CUNY, the tuition is free for in state I think. But NYU is priate and doesn't play by state rules.
do NYU have a graphic design program?
ya i think it does, although I am not familiar with it. NYU has pretty much anything you could want to study because there are several schools that make it up like Tisch is for drama and art, Stern for business, and so on
nyu has almost anything- but if it doesn't there's a whole school at nyu where you can make your own major. nyu truly is an amazing school :)
Thanks
Does NYU require interview?
Gina Yang no it doesn’t
Anyone here have experience applying as an international student? I will be 21 when I apply from Australia and am finding it all soooo confusing!!
Do you need a high sat score to get into nyu ? Range ?
NYU also takes other scores, like ACT and AP tests. I didn't do those but they are worth looking into if you are concerned with your sat scores. Talk to your counselor about the other options as well and see what they think. A 1320 to 1500 is the middle 50% for last year according to the internet.
