I do not exceed the spatial requirements on any piece of writing. With that being said, I tend to max out on essays, especially scholarship applications and personal statements. Not to sound arrogant, but I have been offered full scholarships to law schools, and very generous scholarships for graduate school also. Trust your gut, follow your heart, and speak from the soul.

I received the TAF scholarship

I studied at Steinhardt as an undergraduate. The campus is fantastic. WSP is right across the street, SOHO is around the corner, and Union square is up the block. There are bars everywhere, so happy hour is definitely a major plus, and enhances the NYU experience. If you're interested, the Fat Black Pussycat is a great watering hole located across the street from "The Cage" basketball courts. The quality of education at NYU is great. It is as rigorous as you want it to be. To the original poster: I majored in English Education (7-12). I know many of your professors, and would be willing to answer any questions you may have about the program. Here are two gems: Take a course with Rebecca Packer and hope Victoria Carr is your advisor.

If you had a phone interview, then it's safe to assume other applicants have as well. Out of roughly 1200 applicants, only 40 will be selected. I applied for the ZF; hopefully I'll be selected.

I applied to TC the day of the deadline, and was accepted on 03/11/2010 to the C&T department. As far as money is concerned, I was awarded two very nice grants. My suggestion is be proactive, and do your best to negotiate with FA -very nice people.
