admissions process:
- A personal letter of interest including specific

- Official copies of all college and professional
school transcripts
- Official copies of scores on all National Standardized
Tests taken for admission to prior programs of study,
e.g., SAT, DAT, MCAT, GRE, etc.

on achievement, e.g., Part I and Part II of U.S.
National Boards in dentistry or medicine, or comparable

- Three letters of recommendation, at least two of
which must be from former teachers
For non-U.S. applicants from countries where English

scores is also required.
The selection process will initiate when the applicant
has filed all the above-required items related to admissions.
All application items should be submitted by April
15 for the desired September program initiation date.
The Admissions Committee will review all applicants
with completed files and will select the leading applicants
for interviews. Interviews are a required element of
the application process, and direct personal interviews
at NYU are strongly preferred. However, in exceptional
cases (e.g., international distance and high-cost factors
for outstanding applicants), telephone interview(s)
may be substituted for the direct personal interview
at the discretion of the Admissions Committee. Applicants
will generally be notified of admission by May 30.

notification of admission may occur up to July 1.
