Why NYU Statement

Should we submit a Why X statement to NYU? Is the school receptive to it?
Comments
Hi there! I'm not applying to NYU but I am applying to other schools that have the Why X statement. I believe I watched a video about in the Admissions section of 7Sage lectures - but short answer: yes! I think that having that statement shows your interest to that specific school. Mention something about their program, a professor that interests you, or something about NYU or New York specifically. You can go to law school anywhere, why do you want to go there? Hope that helps!
7sage's application requirements page recommends that students include "Why NYU" information in their personal statements.
Not sure why 7Sage recommends students to write one. It's not mentioned anywhere on the application and I attended an info session where they basically said it doesn't matter. My two cents: if you can write a really strong one, include it, but don't force a bad one into your app!
