Apply

For admission to NYU, all first year and transfer applicants must complete the Common Application and the NYU Supplement to the Common Application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply online. Students applying for the second Bachelor's degree in Nursing should follow the instructions here. Students applying for Dental Hygiene programs at the College of Dentistry should follow the instructions here.

As you begin your online application, please note that a receipt from the Common Application showing successful submission of your application fee and/or your NYU Supplement does not mean that your Common Application has been submitted. Both your Common Application and your NYU Supplement (as well as your application fee or fee waiver request) must be successfully submitted together in advance of the application deadline for you to be eligible for admission. It is your responsibility, as the applicant, to ensure that both your Common Application and NYU Supplement are submitted online successfully.

If you do not have easy or reliable access to the internet:

• The paper version of the Common Application can be found here.
• You may download a paper copy of the NYU Supplement here.
  

Application Fee

Applicants to NYU are expected to pay a non-refundable application fee or request a fee waiver.

Checking Your Application Status

All applicants will receive confirmation of receipt of their applications within three weeks after our application deadlines. With your confirmation, we will provide you with instructions on how to track the status your application credentials online.

Submitted Materials

NYU is not responsible for returning any documents you provide in support of your application. Please do not submit diplomas or original copies of records that cannot be replaced.

Supplemental Materials

DVDs, CDs, the Common Application Arts Supplement, or other samples of your artistic ability should not be submitted, and will not be considered by the admissions committee, unless you are applying to one of the programs that specifically requires an audition or portfolio. Do not submit any additional supplementary materials like books, pictures, newspaper articles, magazine articles, certificates, writing samples, etc.

Application Review

If anything is missing from your application file, we will offer you a limited window in which to provide the outstanding information.

Once complete, each application is thoroughly reviewed by our admissions committee. We have no set "formulas" that we follow when we review applications, because we actively seek a mix of students who have a variety of interests, talents, and goals. If you are applying for admission to a program that requires an artistic review by our faculty, the results of that review will also be evaluated before an admissions decision is rendered.

Admissions officers review every application we receive—there are no cutoffs for admission, and every applicant is considered holistically.
