tt - you should consider starting a new thread for spring 2011 applicants as there are many in the same boat as you are that can share their experiences.

Hello all! Pre-term is this weekend! Can you believe it? The time has flown by so fast here. I still remember creating this thread, worried that I would throw a question into an abyss and that it would remain unanswered for eternity.

Dramatic, I know.

I don't know if it would be wise to close up this forum, I certainly would like to leave it here for future applicants to use as it provides some pretty interesting first hand accounts of navigating through the admissions process as well as those interesting weeks before getting the "real" letter of admission. I would, though, like to encourage all to join the Langone Fall 2010 facebook group so that we can be incorporated into the greater community. There are some great discussions going on that I think all of us could contribute to at some level.

See you guys on Saturday!

What helped me was writing the essay without a word limit and then trimming and consolidating later on. Both of my essays were exactly 250 words which speaks to the fact that I made sure every word I used was actually functional. Just make sure that the message that you conveyed in 500+ words (the first draft) is the same message that is conveyed in 250 words.

hi,
i did some research online and found out that people pay those agencies to reivse the essays and fix their resums for them to increase the chance of being accepted. is such actions recommended? also, some people said that they spent 3 months to write the essays. i wonder how much time, in general, an applicant will spend on writing the essays...

I personally do not think it is necessary to get an agency to revise the essays. I spent a few hours writing each draft, and then would make corrections every few days. I had my husband look it over and make suggestions, as well. I think I continued this process for about 1 month of just looking at it with fresh ideas and making modifications. It is less painful, and I feel more productive, as opposed to sitting for 10 hours one day just writing and re-writing essays. I was accepted for fall 2010, so this process worked for me. I hope this helps!

Does anybody know if it's harder to get into the Fall or Spring semester at NYU? I know Spring has less spots, but do less people also apply?
