The last two don't have word limits right? i cant find one listed. how many words are you guys going to do?
There's no word limit listed, but I haven't tried typing a lot of words to see if it stops me. Either way I think my "Why us?" will end up being around 150-200 words and I'll probably copy/paste a different diversity essay to tailor to this one which will end up around the same length maybe more. But feel free to say as much as you think is meaningful!
Some of my childhood was spent growing up in suburban NY. I talked about how I would visit the city frequently and rely on public transportation to get there. Maybe you have a friend or family member in the city you visited?
Yep, just submitted and it says those still have not been received. Not sure why though...
I think it just takes a few days to update. I haven't checked since Friday night, but looking now, it says it's complete.
This page says "If your college/university offers an intensive one-semester general or inorganic chemistry course with lab for qualified students, and considers this equivalent to the traditional two-semester course, you may use this to satisfy our requirement for general chemistry. However, you should also take a higher level chemistry course, preferably Biochemistry."
Was there a wordcount for the why downstate?
Nope, none!
Interviews come out in August.
I think 2022-2023 lol, thats how I did my response around
Wait really? I thought they were asking about 2022-2023 as in like a gap year question
Surely you are correct... that is also how I interpreted it. Especially because 2021-2022 should be well-described on our primaries. Pretty sure its referencing 2022-23
I emailed them about this and they pretty much said dont worry about it
hopefully during your gap year you will be employed to some extent, so it shouldnt really be considered a break. Or at least thats the way I interpreted the question.
Yes I would definitely answer them! That is the place to discuss your upbringing and how you are a good fit since you are from Brooklyn!
Like, did they ask you to explain further about your essays?
Basically yeah they asked me to explain what "exactly" I am doing in my gap year (they said to be very specific) and gave me a deadline that's coming up in a few days. I've never heard of this happening to anyone so I was wondering what's going on.
Huh, that is odd. I mean, I guess it would be best for you to give them a very detailed answer, but I didn’t think gap year plans were THAT important for admissions.
yeah honestly I'm glad my month-long job hunting went somewhere otherwise i'd have very little to add.
Actually I didn't even get an email it just came up on my portal
