Thank you so much for this video! I'm an incoming freshman (also MCC, woo!) and actually had my parents watch this to further convince them that NYU is perfect.

[@diya2014]

[@rosar.8624]

LYRICS OFFICIAL what was your gpa?

[@callmec897]

I love this!! Any way that you maybe could do a "Day In The Life" video? Just something going through your whole average day or something...?

[@sophielewis423]

+Caroline Sweet i have two now :)

[@aminatacamara3218]

I love your video!! But could you make an admissions video on like how to better prepare for admission, your sat scores, grades,GPA, essays, recommendations,and etc. Please!

[@sophielewis423]

+Aminata Camara not sure if you saw, but i made a video on this recently :)

[@aminatacamara3218]

+Sophie Lewis Oh OK thanks!

[@vivalaelsa]

thank you so much for this video :) i've watched this so many times and it never gets old! I'm a sophomore, but I'm super excited to apply. I'm super interested in Stern undergrad and NYC is literally my favorite place in the world!

[@sophielewis423]

+VivalaElsa you're welcome! thank you so much for watching :) it is wonderful that you already are so focused :) let me know if you have any questions!

[@vivalaelsa]

***** i will for sure! i'm so in love with your channel because you just come across as someone extremely intelligent, focused, and just really fun to watch :) thank you again for doing what you do ! i really appreciate it :)

[@sophielewis423]

thank you so much for your sweet comments! they mean a lot to me :)

[@lizipearlvlogs]

I'm a sophomore in high school, too! So if we both get accepted (which I hope will happen) maybe I'll see you around! Good luck! ☺💕

[@jaytheperfect1]

+Elsa Ban Basically me!! lol I'm a sophomore too and nyu and nyc are my top priorities!

[@sarah.mae531]

I am a junior in high school, and when I looked into NYU's photography and imaging courses at Tisch, it was the first time I got genuinely excited for college. I've never even been to New York (I'm going over spring break), but I can already tell I'm going to love it. These videos have helped me a lot on what to expect. I'm mostly worried that I set the bar too high. At this point I feel like nothing can top how I feel about NYU and their photography courses, and I don't know what I do if I don't get in. Excitement and anxiety are both eating me alive because I'm so excited for college to come to be able to experience NYU, but I'm also so worried that I may not get in!!!

[@sophielewis423]

+Sarah Mae that is so exciting!! i wish u the best of luck :) let me know if you ever need help!! there are plenty of other amazing photography programs both in and out of nyc, so there are always backups :)

[@syd1461]

Loved the video! You're always very well spoken, keep it up :-)

[@JustinDiGiulio]

Very impressed with your KZbin following, Sophie! You have so much content. Nice work!!

[@sophielewis423]

+Justin DiGiulio thanks!!

[@myung-hwa4677]

hey! I'm a sophomore in high school and I'm really interested in NYU. I'm really worried because this is the first time I actually want to go to a specific college and I really want to get in. I'm not the smartest person in the world. I'm not a straight A student or anything like that and I definitely struggle in finding what I like to do but for the first time I know that this is the college that I want to go to. I know a lot of people tell me to start early in high school, getting involved a lot but overall I'd love it if you gave me some advice especially to a sophomore so yeah. I hope you see this and can reply. thanks :)

[@ifuekoosarogiagbon7128]

+tina bear I actually talked to the administration officer of NYU Abu Dhabi and the biggest advice she gave me was try to come up with an app that sort of shows a specific interest and cater to that interest. Being a well rounded student is ok but being a spike student is apparently better. Here's a link that sort of explains it better blog.prepscholar.com/how-to-get-into-harvard-and-the-ivy-league-by-a-harvard-alum

[@sophielewis423]

+tina bear hi! I'm sorry I'm just now seeing your comment. what kind of advice are you looking for? xx

[@myung-hwa4677]

just like advice on how to get into NYU and just some of the key things they are looking for in a student. Thank you so much for replying tho better late then never.

[@sophielewis423]

you can check out my how to get into college video, that will help! but I'm not the admissions people so i don't actually know what they are looking for. to me it seemed like they really wanted to see your passion for your intended major reflected in your high school extracurriculars, AP classes are always a bonus, leadership positions, things like that :) and the common app essays are really important!

[@myung-hwa4677]

thank you so much i really appreciate your help. you give me hope hahaha !!!! i know i have like 2 more years ahead of me but please wish me luck

[@jonginandout]

Please film another day in the life! I just got accepted and committed for 2020 and am beyond excited!! I love watching your videos haha

[@sophielewis423]

+jonginandout CONGRATS AND WELCOME!!! i filmed one recently that is a study abroad edition! i don't want to film more than one per semester because you would be seeing all the same stuff. thanks for watching :)

[@joiwade_]

Thanks for all of the tips, this helped A LOT! I will definitely be applying in the fall; my main concern is paying for it since NYU is pretty stingy with financial aid!

[@sophielewis423]

MissJoi100 you're welcome, i'm so glad you found this helpful! let me know if you have more questions :) i know the price is scary but it can never hurt to apply, you never know what kind of scholarships or aid you may get!

[@joiwade_]

I will definitely ask questions as they come up, probably closer to application time! Thanks again! :)

[@sophielewis423]

no problem! :)

[@studyenglishny722]

Travel and enjoy everything NYC has to offer! How do do it?! Email us: [e-mail] facebook.com/events/798063320284355/ studyenglishny.com/

[@alicecheng3639]

MissJoi100 You should definitely take the chance and apply! I honestly thought I wouldn't even get in but I was accepted a few days ago RD and NYU gave me unbelievably generous aid and they have given lots of aid to others according to the accepted students FB page

[@irishgirl81498]

Thank you so much for this video, I'm really considering going to NYU next year and this was really helpful!!

[@sophielewis423]

+irishgirl81498 thanks for watching! good luck :)

[@alexjimerson2478]

I was accepted into NYU for the fall. Can you give me some tips for housing? how do students find housing off/on campus? does NYU help with connecting fellow NYU students to live off campus? Thanks in advance :)

[@JasmineFossett98]

I'm going into my senior year this fall and I'm so excited to apply to NYU! Thanks for the video :)

[@sophielewis423]

good luck!!!

[@JasmineFossett98]

THANK U!!!

[@SincerelyRach]

Totally agree about the work load in college! I also took AP classes and I felt like the AP classes were harder than the college courses haha

[@sophielewis423]

haha totally agree high school seemed way harder to me :p

[@EmilieBee]

Thank you! I'm from SF and I just committed to Class of 2019 and now it's like "Gah! This is really happening!" I'm a mixture of excited, nervous, scared, etc, but I have faith that it'll be a good experience and I'll adapt :)

[@sophielewis423]

***** massive congrats!!! my roommate is also from SF :) you will adapt more quickly than you think i promise :D

[@sabylemerched9619]

It's so nice to see a down-to-earth person on KZbin, you seem like such a great person! Keep it up, new sub from France 😘

[@sophielewis423]

+Sabyle Merched aw thank you so much sabyle! means a lot to me

[@aminas6391]

Forgot to mention this, but really loved this video; it's a great help!! :)

[@graceliu5023]

Your videos are making my day! super helpful and excited to get an insight in the university life and suggesting which major to choose, I was actually debating over PR or journalism but your major seems to include both of them in one! It would be incredibly helpful if you actually suggest what to do during high school in order to get in to such a prestigious university like NYU and what to include in application essays. And a New Yorker kind of life has always been my dream

[@sophielewis423]

+Grace Liu SiYan hi! i actually have an application advice video that outlines what you should be doing in high school so definitely watch that :) thank you for such a nice comment! good luck

[@graceliu5023]

+Sophie Lewis yea I just finished watching some of ur vids and got a better understanding in university life. I actually also really want to be a fashion journalist -devil wears Prada overdose - but debating over PR, and ur major just solved that problem on my mind! And I was wondering if in NYU u can take that plus Psychology? Thank you again Xx

[@sophielewis423]

glad i could help! yes you can also double major or minor in psych :) xx

[@graceliu5023]

+Sophie Lewis awesome! Are the school fees expensive? I was looking through the their websites but doesn't seem to really understand the meaning of all those credit terms.. Sorry if I'm full of questions, little annoying right but just want to know how it is in NYU. It's my dream Uni. ❤️ xx

[@sophielewis423]

do you mean tuition or other expenses? either way yes the fees are very very very high. you are not annoying! feel free to ask away :)

[@k.h.silverio7322]

I think I'd love to be at NYU now!! Thanks for the great video!

[@sophielewis423]

Kayl Golds thanks for watching :)

[@hcoffee2737]

Thank you so much for your video! My 17 yr old son is narrowing down his list of colleges to apply to in the fall and his big concern is getting from class to class, the student center, etc. from his resident hall. From NYU's official virtual video he watched last night it seemed like a lot of running or even taking the bus. Also, how safe and accepting do you feel NYU is to non-white, LGBTQ students? (I've heard the stereotype so many times to just force him into theatre classes in order to find a group of like-minded friends, but his passion is advocacy law, not the stage.) (To those thinking it's weird that a parent is posting this, rather than my son himself, he's swamped with other things like prepping for the SATs & asked for help in research. It's HIS decision where to go; his dad and I are just assistants, happily doing some of the grunt work. :) )

[@sophielewis423]

***** hi! that certainly depends on where he ends up dorming. there are 3 freshman dorms that are right on washington square park, meaning his commute would be about 30 seconds to class. there are others that are in the union square area (where i lived), about a 10-15 minute walk (which is actually quite relaxing). the student center (i am assuming you mean kimmel) is right on the park near all of the main class buildings and the library, so it really is like a typical campus centered around the park. i sometimes took the bus to my dorm from school, but only because it was really cold, not because of the walk. i am confident that your son would be accepted here at nyu. honestly, everyone i have met is completely open minded and accepting of every race, religion, sexuality, etc. we are all weird and different and no one is judged based on those things. i may be a bit biased given that i am a straight, white female, but i have never seen anyone have any issues and i have met quite a diverse group of people. he will not be forced into theater if he does not want to be, and i suggest he join clubs that reflect his interests and career aspirations to meet like-minded people! nyu is definitely not filled with just white people, and we are actually around 20% international students, so race is not a big deal. there are many lgbtq students if he wants to find them, but it is not necessary that those be his only friends. i think it's so sweet that you are helping your son do his college research; i always appreciate seeing parents that help their children figure out where they want to go rather than forcing them into a school :) hope this helps, and let me know if you have more questions!

[@oliviabeautygirl]

this was so helpful because I'm looking at FIT and NYU!

[@sophielewis423]

i am so glad it helped! good luck and let me know if you have any questions, i applied to FIT as well and took high school courses there :)

[@ChiaraCami]

ps I know we already talked about this but I think many people would be interested in knowing about how you picked your major and if you can switch it and the application process. Maybe also the financial aspect of going to school in the US. Idk i feel like that's what I was reaaaally interested in when I first DM'd you but maybe it's just because I'm from another country. Great video anyway :)

[@sophielewis423]

Chiara Cami i will definitely try to talk about those a bit in my next college video, but it is hard for me to talk about the international process because i am from here. my suite mate is international though so i can ask her a bit :) just to answer so you know right now, i do know that as an international student you have to prove that you can pay NYU's tuition up front and i am pretty sure you cannot get any sort of financial aid. NYU's tuition is nearly $70k + room and board so its crazy expensive. i'll ask my suite mate though and include it in a future video!

[@ChiaraCami]

Ooh that's unfortunate...okay thank you very very much and I'll be looking forward to the new video :)

[@sophielewis423]

Chiara Cami hope i helped a bit :) any other questions for a future college video?

[@ChiaraCami]

I don't know...study tips? :) you did help, thank you so much

[@sophielewis423]

ok i'll include those too, you're welcome :)

[@TheGuitarman00]

Hey, I just got accepted into the Class of 2019 as an MCC major and I am officially enrolled. I just wanted to say thank you, this video has really helped calm my nerves about leaving for the big city. I mean I love New York and all, but I have been getting a little nervous about NYU. Anyways, you're awesome and thanks!

[@sophielewis423]

TheGuitarman00 CONGRATS! that is so exciting :) if you ever have any questions about mcc you can always ask, and i am planning on answering some questions I've gotten on it in a future vid as well. i am so glad you found this helpful, there is no need to be nervous, i promise you will adjust quickly to life here. Thanks for watching :)

[@daniphantom6934]

Can you do A Day In My Life: NYU Edition ?

[@sophielewis423]

Danni Love hmm maybe? i would say definitely yes except my days aren't very exciting haha, just class, homework, and clubs! i can try to do one though :)

[@SabrinaChatz]

Omg this is so helpful thank you! I just applied as a transfer student and got in and I'm deciding whether or not to go haha

[@oiseohiwerei7828]

Just got accepted =)

[@sophielewis423]

+Oise Ohiwerei CONGRATS AND WELCOME!!

[@ChiaraCami]

YOU FINALLY DID IT :) Thank you so so so so much

[@sophielewis423]

Chiara Cami I KNOW IM SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG!!

[@sonyoojin97]

hi! I just found you and I'm really glad I did:) your sort of living the life i would like to live in a few years, :) i hope you keep doing these videos~!!

[@sophielewis423]

YooJin Son aw thank you! good luck in everything you want to do :)

[@Zsofecka]

Hi Sophie! I just found your video/channel searching through KZbin for NYU related videos. I only watched the first 2 minutes so far, but I already know, that it is going to be SUPER helpful, so Im typing up this comment before I forget. I am actually studying something similar to you in Berlin at Humboldt University / Cultural and Media Studies / and applied to NYU as a transfer student for the 2015 Fall/Winter semester. I just got an e-mail on Thursday about my application and I got through to the interviews! Do you have any tips on preparing? Thank you so much for this video, I will now resume the viewing :)

[@sophielewis423]

hi! first of all thank you for this incredible sweet comment, i really appreciate it! second, MASSIVE congrats on getting an interview that is incredible :D I think one of the most important things is to be confident in your achievements, and to make sure your passion for what you are studying comes across during the interview. they are looking for passionate students who are eager to learn and eager to take advantage of everything NYC has to offer, so familiarize yourself with the NYC campus and new york as a whole, and how studying in new york will be beneficial to your career and your learning experiences. i also think it is a good idea to know a few specific classes or professors that you are super interested in (they can be found online), the more specific the better! i hope this helps, and feel free to ask me more questions if you have them. GOOD LUCK!!

[@kevinrob3910]

Photoshop…huhhhh such a struggle. Very happy you mentioned to join a student club/organization. Better place to meet friends than parties. Such good suggestions

[@sophielewis423]

Kevin Roble glad you enjoyed!

[@alicecheng3639]

Also, could you possibly make a list ranking freshman residence halls? I would like to live closer to where the classes are but I don't really know which ones to put down for my housing preference.

[@sophielewis423]

Alice Cheng hmm i could potentially do that, except i haven't actually been inside all of the freshman residence halls so i may have a skewed perspective of some of them. in case i don't mention it in a video before you need to fill out housing, my personal preference are the ones further from campus (they aren't actually that far, they are a 15 minute walk and its actually such a nice walk, i really like it). most freshman i know live in uhall, third north, or palladium (where i live), which are all close to each other near union square. they are apartment style which is what personally appeals to me because i wanted multiple rooms and a kitchen, and they all have food and palladium has the gym. i know someone who lives in weinstein which is right on campus and she loves that as well, but it is very different. it is much similar to a typical dorm experience where everyone leaves their door open and stuff like that. another option is hayden, which was closed this year but is apparently popular and close to campus. theres also rubin, which no one really goes for because it has no air conditioning, but it has a beautiful location on fifth ave. founders, goddard, and brittany are (i think) the only other freshman options, but i haven't heard much about them other than that founders has big rooms and nice views (but its close to third north and not apartment style). Apartment style was a huge deal for me, so i think i ranked them palladium, third north, uhall, founders, weinstein, brittany, goddard, rubin. if you want close to campus, i think i would recommend hayden bc that seemed popular in the past (if its reopened) or weinstein. hope that helps!

[@aditisachdeva1652]

Hey could you please do a video on your study routine! I love your videos girl.

[@sophielewis423]

+Aditi Sachdeva i did a sort of how i stay organized/study video if you want to check that out :) but honestly i have no study routine, I'm literally just always doing homework haha xx

[@wahyuniwulandarimutmainna4185]

Your video is so helpful for me. I plan to continue my master degree to NYU

[@sophielewis423]

good luck :)

[@iBrandonGrande]

Okay honestly you seem so genuine & kind! Thank you so much for making this! I was interested in poli sci at CAS! :) NYU is my #1 and I am thinking about ED 2'ing but I am afraid I will not be able to afford it. However, I plan on applying for scholarships & taking out a loan. If I attend next fall, I will def say hi to you!

[@sophielewis423]

+Brandon Nazario aw thank you so much! you should definitely ED bc if they don't give you enough financial aid I'm pretty sure you can get out of it being locked in, so no harm in applying! hope to see you in the fall :) good luck!

[@iBrandonGrande]

+Sophie Lewis UPDATE I GOT IN

[@sophielewis423]

Brandon Nazario AHH CONGRATS!!!

[@isaacroberts9089]

Wooohhh!!! Class of 2019!!!!!!

[@sophielewis423]

Isaac Roberts YAY CONGRATS!

[@megthompson5569]

Hey! Can you talk about how you got in?/ What you did in high school that made you stand out? (for high school juniors)

[@sophielewis423]

Meg Thompson i posted another video that discussed my scores, extracurriculars, etc here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH_cpneXmtyGm5o hope that helps!

[@annazheng6709]

Hi, Sophie! I want to become a journalist too, but I and contemplating on whether to take AP science this fall. I have already completed all my science requirements for my advanced regents diploma, and I thought it was a good idea to drop that AP class so I could take classes that would help me in journalism. What do you think? Should I drop that class?

[@462katie]

Loved this video! I'm from the UK but love NYC and am so jealous of you living and studying there. I was wondering, with what little knowledge of how sororities work in America, how do they work in NYC? Do they have houses like some other colleges do? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm intrigued!

[@sophielewis423]

+Katie Banks not a dumb question! sororities work differently at every school. nyu is not a big school for sororities, so we don't do them the same way other schools do. many people in sororities live together in one of our dorms called lafayette, but many choose not to live there as well. no houses. it is more like a club at nyu versus a complete life takeover at other schools haha hope this helps!

[@connorbooher2329]

Hey Sophie! Very informative video. Thank you so much! I just have one question: Is NYU regarded as a prestigious school? Not in a pretentious way, but do you feel respected for going there? I've heard mixed comments ranging from NYU being easy to it being regarded as one of the better schools in the nation... Your feedback and experience would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

[@sophielewis423]

from experience, it has a very good reputation. when i go on job interviews/tell people i go to nyu, they always say "wow that's amazing" or "oh you must be so smart" or something like that. we are ranked pretty well, and i think the rankings of tisch and stern definitely help with the prestige of the school overall. i would never say that going to school here is easy. between classes and internships and clubs it's just as stressful as any other college i assume. hope that helps :)

[@phoebe9738]

I'm a sophomore in high school . Do you have any tips on ways to stay organized? How important do you think it is to be involved in high school?How do you think that affects college decisions?Did it affect yours? Sorry for all of the questions Phoebe

[@sophielewis423]

+Phoebe Stedman you should definitely watch my how to get into college video, it might help :) i think it is really important to be involved in things you are passionate about in high school and it definitely affects college decisions because nyu looks at applications holistically. i was very involved in high school and i think it helped :) xx

[@SavySaysTV]

This was the best video out NYU! Honestly you did a really good job. I am coming to tour in less than a month! I am hoping this is where I will end up, I want to go into Journalism/Broadcast Journalism. Maybe if I go there we can be KZbin friends hahaha. Also did you do early decision?

[@sophielewis423]

SavySaysTV thanks so much! ahh that is so exciting! i would love to be youtube friends :) i actually applied early decision to cornell, got deferred, and ended up getting into nyu regular decision. honestly i wish i had applied here ED because i love it so much! let me know if you have any more questions :D

[@cristinacastro2409]

Hey my name is Cristina I'm a going to be a junior next year and I had no idea what I wanted to do other than I did want to go to collage and I was looking into NYU then I stubbled upon your channel and became very interested in your channel and hearing about your major are things that I enjoy and I didn't know you can actually do that as a career. It would be very helpful if you could make a video about your major. Thank you for taking the time to read this.😊

[@sophielewis423]

i will be making a video about my major at some point this summer :) xx

[@krea17]

I just got in yesterday! Maybe we'll have classes together or something haha.

[@sophielewis423]

Katelyn Rea YAY CONGRATS!! hope to see you around :)

[@alexruan5639]

I am graduating high school this summer and enrolling into City Tech for the fall semester. What are you're thoughts on City Tech and what you've heard?

[@sophielewis423]

Alex Ruan i actually don't know anyone that goes there, so i cannot be much help. sorry about that and have fun :)

[@indielush15]

I went to city tech and I think it all depends on what you are interested in as a degree. The top degrees are graphic design, dentistry, and technology majors. If you aren't interested in those don't waste your time. It's not a social school and not a well funded school. If you have a good GPA I would go to another school.

[@MegaAmericangirlstar]

I considered applying to NYU (I'm going to Penn State main campus) but I opted not to because I have really high anxiety and severe depression and I thought a big city would be dangerous for my mood and my ability to adjust since I'm already having to adapt to leaving home for next year and I wasn't sure (and I'm still not) if I was intelligent enough to get into that school and plus as an undecided student I thought it was too expensive but it I decide PSU isn't for me and I considered transferring (NYU fascinates me) do you have any specific words of advice or any input as to how difficult it may be or may not be to get in? That's probably a really weird questions. 😂😂😂

[@sophielewis423]

hmm i think it depends on how well you do your first year at penn state. that's definitely a huge factor. take courses that really interest you so you can figure out what you may want to major in in the future, and make sure to do well in those courses and show improvement. that would probably help the most :)

[@aminas6391]

Hi, I wanted to know about the campus of NYU! I wanted to go there all of my freshman year in high school until I discovered that there is not a lot of campus community/ a sense of campus. What is there to do in NYU, and do you feel like it is like most other colleges or different?

[@sophielewis423]

+Lucas Pirtle i would appreciate you not trying to scare people in my comments. just because you are a native does not give you the right to be obnoxious towards nyu students. as i said in my other comment, you do not have the right to speak on behalf of all new yorkers. 99% of people i have met at this school have no trust fund, work multiple jobs, and are proud of their education. it is unfair of you to judge us like this.

[@kevinrob3910]

Your grades in high school versus your grades in college are different. Different level of critical thinking in most college classes, but your first year in college usually are very similar to high school. Mostly just exams, but once get further along in your major you do more essay, group work in my opinion. What you think? Your GPA in the first semester of college is a 0.00 (unless already done college credits) until complete and receive a final grade. Just don't freak out people when struggling in first semester, use your resources- tutoring center, disability services if have learning disability and so forth.

[@sophielewis423]

Kevin Roble my major doesn't work that way. i have far more essays than exams, and none of them are at all similar to high school :)

[@singbon6]

do they kick you out of the dorms during winter break? and if so is there some program they have for people who live really far away and can't afford to go back home for the winter?

[@sophielewis423]

singbon6 i am pretty sure you can stay in the dorms during break :)

[@rebeccastern8013]

Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful :) Quick question: How much free time do you have after homework/classes at NYU?

[@sophielewis423]

+Rebecca Stern zero haha

[@ammouringammouring2695]

Your videos are a life saver! As someone who is potentially committing to NYU next week, your insight is really helpful :) I just have one question: do you feel like living in New York forces you to be a typical "adult"? What i mean by this is: do you feel like a college student, or do the city and people make you go from 18 to 30? I want to find a place where I can be completely serious at times, but also find people who occasionally want to be goofy and carefree. I get that NYU students are typically intense but I guess what I'm saying is, how intense, and is it 24/7?

[@sophielewis423]

Maura McNulty hi! good luck with your decision, i know it's quite difficult. i am so glad you have enjoyed my videos :) i may be a bit bias here, bc i definitely did not want a typical college experience. i didn't want the all night every night partying, the constant drinking, greek life, etc. nyu is certainly not centered around those things. however, it is also in an area filled with young people, so you definitely won't feel like you're 30. the village is filled with cool people in their 20s and plenty of bars, which is where i think most nyu people go out, rather than parties. there are still some frats and sororities that have parties if you want them, but most of the people i know go to clubs and bars when they want to go out (there is this great one called dahlias that tons of people go to and is really fun). people here still want to have fun, but i think in different ways to typical college students. you certainly have to be an adult in some ways though (for instance i have a friend from another school who is basically scared to cross the street alone--this would not be good if she went to nyu haha), and internships and jobs are definitely pushed here earlier on, but overall i don't think it forces you to grow up too quickly. hope this helps!

[@jennamarcus4283]

Question- I love New York City so much and this would probably be my biggest reason for going to NYU. But I'm wondering- would I even have time to enjoy the city? I already barely have time for anything in high school and idk how demanding the classes at NYU are.

[@sophielewis423]

+Jenna i find i have more time in college than in high school, but i think it all depends on what you want to do outside of classes. you will definitely have time to explore, but it depends if you take jobs, internships, leadership positions in clubs, etc. classes are demanding, but you will see you have a ton more time :)

[@chiahsu166]

I love nyu so much !!! That's my dream school 😭😭😭also I'm living in ny . So I really really wanna get in! And I'm taking the SAT this sat , hope it comes out well

[@sophielewis423]

chia hsu good luck!

[@autumnmanes1682]

hi I was wondering if you knew anything about if there were opportunities for non theatre majors to be able to do musicals at NYU? i want to study psychiatry but would love to simultaneously be doing shows! thank you!☺️

[@sophielewis423]

+autumn manes yes! there a bunch of clubs specifically for that purpose actually. I'm not too sure of the names of them because I'm not involved, but i know we have a bunch of clubs that produce shows featuring non-majors. loving theater is a pretty common thing at nyu, so no worries :)

[@FancyFatima]

Hey:) I'm a junior right now, and I've been struggling with depression for the first two years, ending up with mainly B pluses and the occasional A with a 3.4 GPA. If I get straight A's this year with three APs this year and 5 APs next year and try to get as high as I can will i have a chance? Thanks :)

[@sophielewis423]

i'm not an admissions person so i can't really say, just try your best :) xox

[@erinrenzi8460]

hi! just wanted to say i love your channel! okay so i'm going to be a junior and have always dreamt of going to NYU (or columbia but that's reallyyyy unrealistic haha) but ever since i was little I've always felt drawn to the city! So my gpa is a 98.8 and that probably translates to somewhere around a 4.0 I guess? Anyways all of my classes are either advanced or APS (besides this years math) and I will be taking 2 APs this year (I took one AP last year but freaked out when the test came and unfortunately didn't pass, however I did really well in the class) I did well on the PSAT and know that with some hard work I can meet NYUS standards. I am an active member of Model United Nations, am enrolled in honor societies, am a representative for my high school for my county, am going to get involved with the school newspaper and youth court (where you practice being s judge, attorney, etc.) and have been a dancer all my life. I hope to be a lawyer, an editor for a magazine (possibly fashion or beauty), or work in the advertising/the media field. Because of this I am thinking of studying communications! Do you think that will be a good major for me? And do you think I can even get in? NYU is my dreams and I am thinking about college a lot recently. I know it's still early but I'm worried and I want do everything I can to be accepted. Thank you so much!

[@erinrenzi8460]

also not to be invasive but can you tell me a bit about the financial aid process? if you needed any, did they offer a substantial amount and with what i'm doing so you think i could receive a substantial amount? oh also could you tell me a bit about studying abroad if you did that? thanks!!!

[@sophielewis423]

so first of all, i do not work in admissions, so i am not qualified to say whether or not you can get in. it's all luck anyways, so all you can do is put your best self forward. it's wonderful that you are so involved, and you should definitely make sure that passion comes through in your essays on your application! if you want to be a lawyer, you probably should not study comm (called media, culture, and comm at NYU) but that would be a great major for working in magazines/advertising. nyu is notoriously bad about giving financial aid, but they do give out a lot of merit scholarships (this is what i got). financial aid has nothing to do with what you do and everything to do with how much your parents make, so i cant predict how much you will be awarded. also, i have a whole playlist about studying abroad if you want more info :)

[@emmasantoro792]

Hey Sophie! What is it like working for the Washington Square? I just applied as a transfer student to NYU for this fall! I found your channel after searching NYU, and I love your videos! I'm hopefully going to be an MCC major too. I am currently the news editor at The Viking News at Westchester Community College and I want to continue writing when I transfer.

[@sophielewis423]

Emma Santoro hi emma! thank you so much :) thats so exciting! let me know if you have any mcc questions. i love working for WSN. i actually thought i would kind of hate being an editor but its surprisingly fun, and everyone else on staff is super nice and intelligent. our office space is also pretty awesome, so i like being there. i would recommend living in palladium as it is close to the office. WSN is a big time commitment, but totally worth it! we would love for you to come write :)

[@takoyaki-osaka]

Hi sophie! I really liked your video! I'm from Japan and interested in NYU, and I have a question that do you see some Japanese students or asian students? Plus, do you think it could be tough for Asian to live in NYU? Thanks.

[@sophielewis423]

+祐一福永 hi! our student body is about 20% international, and there is certainly a massive asian population here from both asia and america, we even have tons of clubs dedicated to asian culture. no it would not be tough :)

[@ravenquesenberry1846]

Whoa! I'm starting in MCC at NYU later this month! Quick question, how'd you transfer your AP credits over? I'm having difficulty with that.

[@sophielewis423]

+Raven Quesenberry you can speak to your advisor about it, but there is a way to do it through albert and the college board site. i don't quite remember but just ask your advisor it's super easy :) welcome to nyu!

[@allycollins1451]

hay so this was a very cool vid im going to apply next year but i live abrod and when it comes to test like the sat or act we dont really have that and im really freaking out about this because i really want to go 2 nyu any tips 4 me????

[@sophielewis423]

you should contact nyu directly about this!! good luck :D

[@melaniepaquiyauri9661]

Hi! I am a rising sophomore and I was wondering if NYU looked at high school Regents exams. I got a 90 in Algebra 1 but a 77 in Earth Science which is terrible because I want to go into a science major. I was just wondering if NYU does look at these grades.

[@sophielewis423]

i'm not really sure to be honest, but you definitely don't send nyu regents scores yourself so i'm not sure if they would go out of their way to get them, especially because no other states take regents exams, so honestly i think they probably don't look at them (but i'm not 100% certain, your guidance counselor might know!)

[@melaniepaquiyauri9661]

+Sophie Lewis Thank you for the advice! Keep making your wonderful videos. They are really helpful

[@WooJungg]

hey! just wondering what area did u live before u went to college? (you dont have to be super duper specific but did u come from another place in the boroughs or something?) I live in one of the boroughs and idk how I feel about staying in NYC for another 4 years (picking btwn NYU and a pretty suburban area)... although I don't live in Manhattan

[@sophielewis423]

wooj poo i'm from long island! i was personally very eager to get to the city coming from the suburbs, and i don't really see nyc as ever becoming boring, but i guess that depends what borough you're from. if you want to get away from your area i would suggest the other school, but in my experience it has been quite nice being just a train ride away from home if i need it :)

[@mbv22311]

i'm type stressed for college bc i think im an undecided major> i know i want to study science but I dont know a specific major. Like i wanna study comp sci or engineering but i feel like with those majors you have to be sure bc of the workload. do you have any tips when applying? is it hard to switch majors in nyu?

[@sophielewis423]

+maria vivanco it isn't that tough to switch majors or schools in NYU except you can't switch into stern i don't think but other than that you can move around if you don't like something. If you want some sort of engineering definitely apply to the engineering school and then you can move around within that to find the kind of engineering you want. but if you want comp sci or even something like physics or biology then apply to CAS and move around within that :)

[@sorryrealy]

I really hope you see this!!! I want apply to nyu in the major of international relations, butttt I'm not pretty sure if I can pay it, I'm foreign and my degrees are different than in the USA, I think I'm a sophomore, so my question is if the nyu have some support for the international students and how much expensive is the nyu or a university in general?

[@sorryrealy]

it's a dream for me to study in new york, I'm crossing fingers so bad

[@sophielewis423]

no need to comment the same thing on different videos, i read all my comments :) you can google the cost of nyu, but international students can't get financial aid. they can get scholarships tho!

[@laurengroulx4458]

I don't know if you know, but if you major in Journalism you have to also have another major/double major. I was wondering if you can us MCC as your double major because I am interested in both majors! xx

[@sophielewis423]

yes i do know that, it's why i didn't major in journalism here. to do that, you have to start as MCC and then choose journalism, you can't go the other way around. because if you start as journalism, you have to double within CAS, and MCC is in steinhardt. so basically, you should apply to steinhardt for MCC, then add journalism after you get here :)

[@Emily-kd7mm]

hi!! I just discovered this video. I'm a sophomore in high school right now and I really love NYU. I've really loved it since I was younger and still do. The only problem is my parents don't want me to go to school in NYC. is there any way to convince them?

[@sophielewis423]

+Emily G is there any specific reason they don't want u to go to school in nyc? i personally love it. it has made me really independent, and there are always amazing opportunities, things to do, shows to see, etc. which i love about it. what are their concerns?

[@Emily-kd7mm]

thanks for getting back! mostly because they don't feel its safe and a little far i guess (I'm like 2 hours away). I do love the city a lot!

[@sophielewis423]

it is the safest city in the country I'm pretty sure, and i have never personally felt unsafe at all :)

[@mossfairy98]

How many AP classes did you take in high school? I am a junior now and by the end of highs school I will of taken 5 AP classes. Also, do you know how much SATs scores are factored into acceptance at NYU? My GPA is pretty high but my SATs are not as high. Also do you need to take subject tests to get into NYU? If so, how many? Thank you

[@sophielewis423]

Diane Brunke i took i think 10 or 11 through HS. but my high school happened to offer a ton of APs so taking a lot was common. i have friends at NYU that only took a few. i cannot speak for everyone, but personally i didn't even send my SATs. my GPA was 98, my ACT was 34, and my SAT was only 2100 (which seems good but i actually have an 800 writing and a terrible math). I would say make sure everything else is high and don't stress too much about SAT. NYU doesn't require subject tests, but it can't hurt to send them if you have taken any. i took 3 and sent my best one :)

[@andrewchandy7729]

how many hours of homework do u usually have each night? also how many hours do u spend on projects and atudying? and if u wanna go to grad school, what gpa is considered good?

[@sophielewis423]

hmm it's hard to say on a nightly basis because you usually have a few days to get hw done and also i do hw in between classes, but i would say a few hours a day working on both short term and long term work. I'm not a huge studier before exams i'll usually study for like an hour or two the night before, but i spend many many hours on papers in the weeks leading up to the due date. that made no sense but i hope it helped a bit! everyone is different. i'm not going to grad school, but i think above a 3.5 is pretty necessary for a good grad school :)

[@wenchcore]

Do you know how hard it is to get in from out of state? I'm from Michigan but nyu is definitely my dream college.

[@sophielewis423]

+Amanda Kiefer it's not any harder to get in out of state than in state! it's not a state school :)

[@trinityalicia5423]

This video was so helpful!! I'm hoping to apply in the fall. (: You said your dorms are 10 blocks away from where your classes are located. Is it recommended to bring a car?

[@trinityalicia5423]

Also, do you choose your classes for your freshman year? Or does an academic advisor/counselor pre-select them for you?

[@sophielewis423]

lol no, no one in manhattan owns a car it's a 15 minute walk :) yes, you choose your classes the summer before school starts!

[@camrynhohneker1447]

Hi Sophie! So I applied to NYU this year, have a theater audition in January and I am so excited. I'm going to NY for my first time as well over winter to check it out and make sure I like it. I know you said you don't have to party, like parties are there but it's whatever really, but I was wondering if you have time to yourself? Like I am an only child and I'm pretty nervous to dorm with someone else because I do like my alone time after a hard day's work and stuff. The partying isn't a problem right? Is there quiet time? Thanks for the video by the way, it really helped me a lot

[@sophielewis423]

+Camryn Michele hi camryn! good luck with your audition :) let me know if you want any recommendations for when you come visit! the having time to yourself thing sort of depends on your roommates. some roommates (like the one i have this year) are never in the room and so i always have plenty of alone time and find my apartment very relaxing. but last year my dorm was always quite crowded with people because my suite mates had people over a lot, so i would often escape to the library or study lounge to get some quiet time. there is an option on the housing portal to say you would like a more quiet room so that could help with roommate selection! :)

[@camrynhohneker1447]

Thank you so much! I really hope I get accepted and it all works out. Thank you very much, keep up the great videos and good luck with school!

[@sophielewis423]

Hey Sophie! I'm currently writing essays and applications for college for fall of 2016, my dream school is definitely NYU, any tips?

[@sophielewis423]

David Hernandez hi david! that's great that you are getting a head start before school begins that is always my first tip! I'm not sure if the common app has changed since i used it, but if they still don't let you upload your own resume pdf, i recommend sending it to the admissions office email. i did this for all of the schools i applied to and i received several responses thanking me for taking the initiative to send a personal resume since the common app resume format is so limiting. i also recommend focusing on your passions and your desired major, and demonstrating what you did in high school that applies to that field. for example, because i am studying media and business, i spoke about being president of the business club, blogging and youtube, etc. really narrow your focus to reflect your future academic and career goals. i also recommend sending all of your ap scores, as that couldn't hurt, but don't feel pressured to send all of your standardized tests (i sent only my act not my sat). let me know if you have any more specific questions! :)

[@d998100]

***** thank you so much! I hadn't even thought about sending a resume, I thought the CommonApp was good enough but it sounds like a great idea. I'm trying to get into Stern which I've heard is the hardest to get into... By the way, I'm an american but I study High School in Spain, so I'm not sure if that gives me status as an international student or not. Thanks again!

[@sophielewis423]

good luck! I think the international thing depends on your parents' jobs so i would say you should call the admissions office and ask :)

Im interested in the financial aid portion of NYU would they pay for tuition if income is below a certain number so that you don't have to take out loans?

[@sophielewis423]

***** it is very different for every person so i definitely can't say they will for sure, it is all based on individual family's needs. i have no idea what a family needs to make in order to qualify for full tuition financial aid, as i am not in that position, but i know that there are definitely people at nyu who are not the wealthiest people and have help from the school. it is a complex process though. there are a lot of scholarships, grants, and different types of financial aid that you can apply for, some of which may be granted, some not, depending on the situation. i would say that it is worth it to apply because there is a chance you can get a lot of aid, but there isn't a definite chance you will. however, i think very few people have their full tuition paid for without loans, as it's not really something that the university can accommodate. definitely apply though, and good luck :) hope that helps!

[@jamesk1564]

***** do you know any international students who have managed to get financial aid, like scholarships?

Why did you choose to go to NYU? What made you interested in that college? I live in California and I’m starting off at a community college near me and I was thinking about transerfering to NYU.

[@sophielewis423]

Carley104 there are loads of people from cali at nyu, so it's not abnormal at all! i chose nyu bc i wanted to live in nyc, it's amazing academically, it has the top media program in the country, there are incredible internship opportunities, and i didn't want a traditional party, sporty school. i definitely suggest visiting though before you make the decision. i have loved my time at nyu and highly recommend it :)

I got into NYU Steinhardt literally yesterday and I want to take design/art, multimedia and visual communication classes. Is that the course you are taking? If so, really, how is it? And if I ever want to take other courses in different colleges or even change my major (tisch, stern, etc) is it easy to do so? I'm really not sure if I want to go to NYU or USC for the things I want to study and ugh I NEED HELP DECIDING!!!!!!!!

[@sophielewis423]

Kate Moon hi kate! first, CONGRATS!!! i was actually deciding between NYU and USC as well and decided that since i'm not the biggest california fan and love nyc, nyu was the right fit. location was a huge factor in my decision. my major at nyu is media, culture, and communication. i really do love the course, as you start by taking broad classes and then choose concentrations that are specific to your interests. you can easily take courses/minor in any other school, and internal transfer is possible, but internal transfer to stern is rare. you can minor in stern, tisch, etc. (my minor is actually in stern, tisch, and steinhardt). i think either school would be great, although nyu is definitely more artsy where usc is more of a party school. let me know if you have more questions!

[@Dkssudso]

***** Thanks for your reply! The decision is hard for me because both nyc and california are actually my 2 favorite places for entirely different reasons. But if I do decide to attend NYU, hope I'll see you there! ;)

[@sophielewis423]

i would suggest visiting and sitting in on some classes, and making a pros and cons list. those things really helped my decision. good luck :)

[@tillykirk720]

hey sophie, what's the difference between a scholar ship and merit based scholarship? i'm from the u.k. looking to study at NYU, however we wouldn't be able to afford it. How much does the scholarship pay for? xx

[@sophielewis423]

so basically there are different kinds of scholarships that you can be awarded for different achievements. a merit-based scholarship means that you are being awarded for getting really good grades before coming to NYU. to my knowledge, these are the only kinds of scholarships NYU offers directly, and they are fairly common, but they range in how much people are awarded. you can apply to other types of scholarships through outside organizations, but i don't think there are any you can apply to at NYU (it is just awarded upon acceptance). unfortunately, international students do not qualify for financial aid, but they are eligible for scholarships. good luck xx

what does living in NYC mean to you? I'm from Nashville, TN and want to go into communications and marketing/business, but I've never really had the big city experience before. What kinds of things make a person fit to live in NYC?

[@sophielewis423]

+Erin Oquindo hm this is kind of tough to answer...i guess being independent is very important, not minding taking subways or walking lots, getting used to feeling a little bit alone, and it's very loud, which definitely takes A LOT of getting used to...but it's still the best city in the world :)

[@kaitvante]

Hi! I'm a senior right now and I am really set on applying to NYU as my dream school, is MCC a competitive course? It's a course I really have been looking at for a long time. And what are sample internship opportunities you got? :) If it's alright with you!

[@sophielewis423]

i think everything at nyu is pretty competitive to get in to, but once there mcc is pretty manageable :) i was the PR intern last summer for a jewelry company called Dannijo and this summer i am interning at another jewelry company called pamela love. but nyu has thousands of internships available on the career portal!

[@alicecheng3639]

Hey! This video was super helpful. I'm attending NYU in the fall for pre-med. Do you know any freshman pre-med students, and if so, what is the workload like for them? I've heard the pre-med at NYU is pretty competitive and cutthroat and I just wanna mentally prepare myself haha.

[@sophielewis423]

Alice Cheng Congrats!! thats amazing :) i actually only know of 1 pre-med student (he went to my high school) and they seem to take pretty intense classes, so it is definitely something you need to prepare yourself for. In general, i think everyone at nyu is fairly competitive, but you don't really have to take part in that if you don't want to. just be a nice person and always do your best for yourself, not to beat someone else :) i do know of one kid who was pre med but dropped, but i think it was because he realized he didn't want to be a doctor, not because of the workload. it is definitely hard and intense and stressful, but if it's what you really want to do then you will succeed :) but yes, honestly the competition here is a bit annoying at times, everyone is definitely trying to be more impressive than everyone else, but i just try to stay out of it haha

[@josiesun216]

Hi Sophie! I've subscribed to you almost a year ago when I decided to apply to NYU and right now I'm choosing freshman housing!! There're so many uncertainties around housing and living in NYC in general, and you're the first person I think of! I've tried to limit them down and would be overly delighted if you could answer them. :) 1. Does the "Choices Community" really make a difference? Because I am actually quite keen about that idea and have noticed that not many halls offer that kind of housing. Are they very different from the usual or simply called that by name but actually function similarly? 2. Is subway one of the main ways of transport? Because some halls claim to be particularly close to subway, so I was wondering if that's a giant advantage or should I consider other factors rather than this? 3. Currently I'm considering either Hayden, Founders or Brittany. Do you have anything to say about them? (impressions, experiences, word of mouth etc) 4. If I have friends going together but studying a different course, is it likely for us to have time to spend together? (I know this sounds really stupid because we'll make new friends...) This seems like a big favor to ask but it would be immensely helpful if you could give me some comments :) Thanks so much!!

+Sunshine Sun hi! massive congratulations!! so happy for you :) 1. so it kinda depends on which one, but i think for the most part they aren't really that different. you kinda get out of it what you put into it, but that is sort of how it is with any dorm. if there is one that specifically really appeals to you go for it, but keep in mind that it is also nice to live with people with completely different interests to you. you can't go wrong either way! 2. being near a subway is a giant advantage. in terms of getting to class, i would say the bus is actually more convenient/popular (theres an app with the times it comes and it goes directly from dorm to campus). but you are going to want to explore the city and such and so for that being near a subway is great. especially the union sq station :) 3. hayden is fantastic. great views, newly renovated, good floor bonding, and the dining hall is one of my favorites. also bonus being near a subway and on campus. definitely the one i would recommend out of those. founders and brittany aren't as popular because they aren't on campus but also aren't apartment style (that's usually the trade off like with uhall or third north). they are both very nice dorms, but no food and not apartment style are big downfalls. 4. i think it depends on the major (like nursing students are pretty busy for example) but in general you will find you have much more free time than in high school. you can join clubs together or end up in the same dorm, so don't worry :)

I love your video!! I just found it when I searched NYU. I'm a junior in high school. NYU is my dream school so I hope I get in. Do you think it's a hard to get in?

[@novafatterpekar9200]

[@sophielewis423]

nova fatterpekar haha thank you!!!

I scored a 'D' in general papers in the A levels(Universities dont recognize this subject). I have 2as and 2Bs other than that. Should i apply to NYU?

[@sophielewis423]

i have no idea how A levels work so i'm not really sure, but i do know that it can never hurt to apply, so you may as well :)

[@firelord911able]

+Sophie Lewis I have a super important question. should i give SAT2 for the subjects of bio maths1 and chem. This won't fulfill my standarized test requirement but will strengthen my application. do you suggest SAT2?

[@firelord911able]

+Abdullah Zafar does it worth it trying for?

[@sophielewis423]

Abdullah Zafar if you do well, definitely send them!

[@firelord911able]

+Sophie Lewis You are so amazing. cheers.

In this video you said that you don't like crowds or tons of people and I'm the exact same way and in those situations it causes me to have severe anxiety. I am considering going to NYU and was wondering if the class sizes are too overwhelming and 'scary' in a way

[@sophielewis423]

the majority of courses are around 20 people. i have taken a few lecture courses, but they are held in spacious auditoriums that are very air conditioned so i don't find them stressful since you definitely have your own space it doesn't feel crowded. there definitely are some large courses, but most are not :)

[@raquelalyssa7796]

+Sophie Lewis thank you so much for all of the info!! I absolutely love your videos and u are extremely gorgeous 💗

[@sophielewis423]

Raquel Guevara aw thank you :) good luck with everything!

[@sophielewis423]

Mike Garcia i wasn't sure what that was but i looked it up and i think yes, it's the place from the warriors :)

[@dsmith123451]

I know you most likely won't know the answer to this, but, do you know how much the work load is if you major in drama and are in new studio broadway? or any freinds who know the answer to this

[@sophielewis423]
