Val Perez

First-Year, Applied Psychology 

In the award-winning movie of your life, who would play you and why?

“I'd probably have Dianne Guerrero play me, just because she is a really good Latina actress, and I've always admired her looks and works.”

What were you doing when you found out you got into NYU? What were you feeling?

“I was on my way home after my first day of finals. My mom and brother wanted to get hot chocolate because it was cold outside, and I was super nervous. All of a sudden, I got the email that my decision was ready, so we rushed to my house, and we freaked out in my mom's car.”

What are you most excited for about APUG & NYU?

“I'm excited to learn more about psychology and meet new people in a new city.”

Erin Kim

First-Year, Applied Psychology

In the award-winning movie of your life, who would play you and why?

“Stephanie Hsu. She played Joy in Everything Everywhere All at Once, and she genuinely portrays the Asian American struggle of polarizing cultures so well. She was a queer young woman with a lack of communication with her parents due to cultural and language barriers. It was magnificent, and her role embodied me perfectly.”

What were you doing when you found out you got into NYU? What were you feeling?

“I was just in my room for a month as the first wave of Covid-19 had hit. Frankly, I just remember feeling relief amongst all the chaos in the world at the time. Excited, scared, and confused.”

What are you most excited for about APUG & NYU?

“I’m so excited to meet my peers the most! Having a sort of connection with others is very precious to me, and I hope I can talk and find a community within APUG! I just transferred from Liberal Studies, so it’ll be much more engaging to be in a more concentrated field.”

Rithikaa Rajendran

First-Year, Applied Psychology

In the award-winning movie of your life, who would play you and why?

“I would say Jessica Chastain who portrays Murph in Interstellar. I love her passion and resilience to prove what was seen to be the impossible.”

What were you doing when you found out you got into NYU? What were you feeling?

“I was on break during work and went to check my emails when I saw that there had been an update on my portal. I was scared but also excited to see my decision, something that felt like it took years to arrive. Needless to say I told everyone at work when I got in!”

What are you most excited for about APUG & NYU?

“I'm super excited to be part of such an exciting community where I can grow and learn more about myself! At APUG I hope to explore my interests and possibly branch outside of my comfort zone and explore new connections. Super excited to finally call my dream school, my home for the next 4 years!”
