My name is David D. Duong. This is a video that I created for my Essay 3 submission for NYU Stern. The topic is to introduce yourself to your classmates, and I'm hoping a video will make things more enjoyable.
I also wanted to thank all my friends that participated and contributed to this video. You all have played a major role in helping me achieve my dreams. I am blessed to have friends that believe in me and support me so much.
Hope you viewers enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed making it.
Like my Facebook page here if you enjoyed the video and want to support me for getting into NYU Stern.

Lyrics:
David Duong is on the mic,
NYU the other side,
Future classmates out at Stern,
About me you're about to learn.
Graduate, UCLA
After that got my CPA
Now interested in Marketing,
Brand management with CPGs.
Now enough about professions
And about
What I want to pursue
Oh yah
Here's some random facts about me
And some reasons I belong with you
As a classmate duh!
On case study nights
Colleagues can always count on me
Strike any plans to help our team
4 tall coffees hold the cream
On case study nights
I take initiative to do
The tasks that we need to get us through
My diligence, a strong virtue
On case study nights
Problem solve creatively,
Solutions have practicality
Can implement realistically
On case study nights
I motivate to reach our goal
Effective leader, no ego
Whoa-oh-oah
On case study nights
Selflessness til the end
On case study nights
There's no I in team
[But there's a me
Man...you get the point]
Now onto my favorite hobbies
From Cali so I like the beach
Surf, bike, skim master in each
Want to learn? Happy to teach
Trained in dance past seven years
In choreographed hip hop to be clear
No stranger to the performance stage
This adrenaline rush, you're unable to gauge
Rehearsed late last night
And now we're ready
Bring on the crews
Oh yah
Electrify the crowd,
The cheers so loud, decibels through the roof
Damn
On some Friday nights
You might not catch me out at bars
But in parking lots, we practice hard
Choreographed dance under the stars
On other Friday nights
Sometimes you'll catch me sleeping in
And in the morning I'm packing
For the beach, usually with friends
And after Friday night,
Morning runs before the beach
Fitness and health I try to keep
In good shape for a sound body
Next Friday night,
Souplantation, carbo-loading
At 6am the race is starting
Oh-woah-oh
Before Saturday night,
I'm running to win.
Before Saturday night,
Go bungee jumping
And rest Sunday til night
NYU Stern!
NYU Stern!
NYU Stern!
NYU Stern!
NYU Stern!
NYU Stern!
NYU Stern!
Last Friday Night
Custom made this fresh design
To market NYU with pride
To show my allegiances align
With Stern on Friday Night
My loyalties are always strong
Stern MBA's where I belong
All my connections are lifelong
Not just on Friday Night
Been on the West Coast all my life
I'm ready for those city lights
Time Square and the Brooklyn Skyline
On Next Friday night
Prepared for this challenge any day
For your response, I am waiting
Oh-whoa-oh
And if it's no tonight
Do it all again
nice job, making UCLA proud! good luck on getting in!

Hey dude , really great work , this has to be the best essay 3 I have seen till date!!! I hope you also mailed them a CD with the video as they no longer accept online links , I guess you already know this but was just making sure. I am a Stern applicant myself . Best of luck with the admit! I think the adcom has to give you an admit for just your essay 3.
