GRADUATE or PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL

Career goals, admission requirements, financial aid, location -- chances are one or more of these factors will strongly influence your decision about whether and where to continue your education.

Selecting a Graduate or Professional School

Begin your search with a list of schools that offer the program or degree in which you are interested. Then gather more information by talking to faculty in your academic department, current graduate students, and advisors. Visits to prospective programs can be extremely informative. There are often campus events which bring graduate and professional school representatives to NYU to meet with prospective students which can be valuable to your search and application process.
All students are encouraged to use the resources available in the Preprofessional Advising Office resource library (901 Silver Center). Pre-Law and Pre-Health students are strongly urged to seek advisement in the Preprofessional Advising Office (901 Silver Center). 

Graduate Admissions Tests

Specific graduate admissions tests are required by many graduate programs. The scores are used as one measure of your likelihood to succeed in a program. Schedule the test with time to meet application deadlines. (It is wise to allow enough time to retake a test if necessary.)
