What surprised you while you were learning about NYU?
How will NYU help you achieve your goals?
(Questions are out of order)

They really wanted to know about my plan C, which caught me off guard. They emphasized that even those with an NYC background will grow with the NYU community. She wanted me to ask specific questions about her, but I didn’t know who was interviewing me until it started. I don’t think I had the best questions to ask her. Not my best interview, but I’m hopeful. NYY is my top choice. Hopefully it’s not sticker price. NYC is expensive.
