Getting a Copy of a College Admissions Essay?

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a copy of your college admissions essay?

Considering that it was submitted 8 YEARS ago…

Yeah, well I wrote a really REALLY AWESOME college admissions essay for NYU 8 years ago. It was sooo good, the head of the English dept at NYU called me up personally to congratulate me on getting admitted into NYU before I even received my acceptance letter.

She also was trying to talk me into taking one of her classes. Unfortunately I declined my acceptance and went to a local college.

Now my sister in law who’s a senior wants to read it. Also my cousin, who’s a junior wants to read it too.

In a way, with all these two girls talking about college, I want to keep a copy of that essay now.

Any info or advice? I do have the admissions telephone # to NYU… would it be really stupid of me to call and ask “Um can I get a copy of that 8 year old essay?”

Would NYU still have a copy?

Anyone know any one from NYU that can help me? Thanks.

I think schools only keep applications on file from a few months – 2 years max but its worth a shot I mean you would be no worse of then you are now by just calling or you can even ask for the name of the professor who called you (just ask you was the head of the english dept 8 years ago) and who knows he may have kept it as an example for essays in his class you never know…
