New York University Admissions
Admissions
There is no separate application for NYU's Opportunity Programs. To apply for undergraduate admission to NYU and for consideration for Opportunity Programs, complete the following steps:
1. Fill out an NYU application. Your high school counselor can help with the completion of the application.
2. If you are a high school student, have your counselor mail your application to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions with your official high school transcript. GED graduates should forward the application to the APC with an original GED test score report.
3. Register early in your senior year for the SAT or ACT and have scores sent to NYU's Office of Undergraduate Admissions. (Although standardized test scores are not the only important consideration in determining eligibility, they are required for all freshman applicants with the exception of GED students.)
4. Obtain and complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Mail the completed form to the processing agency. Send a copy to NYU’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions. New York State residents who file the FAFSA will automatically be sent a preprinted Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) application. Make sure NYU’s School code (002785) appears on the TAP application. Mail the completed application to the TAP processing center in Albany, NY.
5. Potentially qualified applicants who are invited for an Opportunity Programs interview will be asked at that time to submit all supplemental materials (income verification and copies of financial aid forms filed, e.g. FAFSA, TAP).
