REQUIREMENTS FOR NYU? (JOURNALISM)

[azi.24]

I plan to apply for either the CRC or lit reportage program for 2026 

currently i write for my university paper, two uni magazines and a uni history journal. I’m also writing a research paper on gender&war which I’m hoping will get published and have planned to have at least two internships over summer. my gpa isnt too grand rn (rip) like barely 3.0 but i’m confident I can make my essays stand out. 

was wondering if anyone else is applying and what their applications look like

also forgot to say i’m an international student, I’m at a uk uni rn!!

Sounds like you’re pretty busy with all that writing and research. I think your experience might help, but a 3.0 GPA can be tricky. Have you thought about how you're gonna make those essays pop? What’s your focus in your essays for the CRC or lit program?

Hi!! just saw this - I did my internship with a well renowned national newspaper in my country and even though my gpa is 3.0 I'm trying to get better and at least boost it unto a 68% avg in my first semester for this yr which would push it to be predicted as 3.5 later hopefully and my writing samples have a variation - for the essay I've included personal stories which pushed me toward journalism and my enthusiasm for cultural critics. I do hope I get in though because this is one of my life goals.
