NYU, the New Frontier, and a New Form of PR Bootcamp.
During the spring of last year my mom told me about an opportunity to study at New York University. My initial thought was, “what a better way to be in the city?” So throughout the summer I planned my application, got letters of recommendation in line, and maintained good grades.
The application was due in the beginning of August. I sent my application in on September 9, 2009. My application was the closest thing to a portfolio I’ve ever submitted. It branded myself as a student of great academic merit, and someone that NYU should admit. I was nervous; afraid that NYU’s reputation would carry into this decision and my grades wouldn’t be acceptabel to the NYU standards.
September 14 rolled around, which happened to be my birthday, and during that day I checked my email. In my inbox was an email from NYU. It was the first email I recieved from them since the automated submission email of my application and documents.
The were proud to offer me admissions into their Spring In New York program.
Now comes the hard part. I have great plans for the big apple. I’d love to gain an internship at a PR agency or firm. The experience alone at an NYC PR boutique or firm would be an unbelievable opportunity. Hopefully my overall experience while there will be more than a taste of what will become reality after graduation. I am hoping that my hardwork in these classes will help me to better represent myself as an aspiring PR professional that wants to make it in NYC.
