Nominator Evaluation of the Student
We ask that you carefully evaluate and describe to us the students you are
nominating for NYU Abu Dhabi.
We are looking for your comments on the student's accomplishments in three areas.
Feel free to address these questions individually (400 words or fewer per area), or
in a single letter of recommendation. If you choose to submit one single letter of
recommendation for this student, please be sure to comment on each of the three
areas.
Letter of Recommendation
Personal characteristics and fit for NYU Abu Dhabi
The most important information you can give us in your nomination, and the
information we are least likely to get from other components of the application, is
why the student would be a good fit for NYU Abu Dhabi. Drawing on what you
know about the student, and what you have learned about NYU Abu Dhabi, please
describe how the student has demonstrated an adventurous spirit, breadth of
intellectual curiosity, and a sense of global citizenship.
Academic Achievement
Please describe how this student distinguishes himself or herself academically from
the most outstanding students with whom you have worked, and tell us about
academic awards or other distinctions the student has received that set him or her
apart from his or her peers. To the extent that you are able, please comment on the
student's transcript to help us understand how he or she compares (based on grades,
courses, standardized testing) to other students in your school, community, and
region. How does the student's school and course of study compare to others in
your nation's high school system? You will be asked to provide a profile of the
student's school at the end of this form.
Leadership and community involvement
Please describe how the student has displayed outstanding leadership skills at the
school, community, national or international level. Please cite specific examples to
highlight the student's leadership experience and potential.
Writing Assignment from the Nominee
Please ask each of your nominees to prepare the writing assignment and submit
it to you digitally. Please then paste the student's original work into the form below.
Student Writing Assignment:
In 500 words or fewer (one page single-spaced), please describe a
research
project that you might undertake as an NYU Abu Dhabi student to gain a
deeper understanding of one particular topic of interest to you in the
United
Arab Emirates (UAE). Please use the information at the UAE Interact
website
(http://www.uaeinteract.com/) for ideas. Pose a research question (in
one sentence) and describe how you would gather information to answer
your question. Discuss possible obstacles that might arise in your
research as
well as any ethical dimensions of the research to which you would need to
be attentive.
