                Being a hackNY Fellow last year was a lifechanging experience for me. The mentors, friends, and alumNY I met through the program shifted my world in various little ways, and I can’t imagine who I’d be now if I hadn’t gone through the program. Last year, I wrote this application trusting that HackNY would see my passion for using technology to serve my community, but I also really benefited from reflecting on my own experiences and values. I hope my essays help you in your own process of self-reflection! Best of luck!

                I'm beyond grateful to have been a hackNY’s Fellow last year, and I want to help others on their journey to joining this incredible program! When I applied, I found that the most valuable advice was to focus on honesty, creativity, and authenticity. This application isn’t about checking all the boxes to be the “perfect” candidate; it's about capturing your personality and showcasing what makes you unique. I know my application wasn’t perfect, but I made sure it was a true reflection of myself and my values, and I think hackNY’s commitment to recruitment like this is what has made it such a successful program over the years.
