The online application for the Fall in London Freshman Program will be available May 1st.
Eligibility
To be eligible for the Fall in London Freshman Program you must have been offered and confirmed your admission to either Hamilton or Wheaton College as a freshman student to begin in the spring 2010 semester.
If you have been offered January admission to a university or college other than Hamilton College or Wheaton College and would like to participate in the Fall in London Freshman Program please complete the online application and send a copy of your January 2010 admission offer to NYU Global Programs, Freshman Program in London, 110 East 14th Street, Lower Level, New York, NY 10003. Please understand that priority is given to students offered admission to Hamilton or Wheaton College. Should space remain available in the program we will consider your application and contact you.
Only students who will be 18 years old by August 15th, 2009 are eligible to participate.
When to Apply
We will begin accepting applications for fall 2009 on May 1st, 2009. Students will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis should the program reach capacity prior to the deadline. The deadline to apply is June 1st, 2009.
How to Apply
You may apply to the Fall in London Freshman Program using the NYU Study Abroad Online Application. After you have created a new account please be sure to select the following information:
Student Status: First-time Freshman
Semester: Fall 2009
Program: Please scroll down the list of programs and select NYU Fall in London Freshman Program - (Reserved for students offered SPRING admission to another institution other than NYU). Do NOT select NYU in London.
You'll also be asked to provide three short essays in your application that you may want to prepare in advance:
- What activities, sports or extra-curricular activities would you like to participate in while in London and why? (approx. 100 words)
- What cities/towns/areas/sites of the UK/Europe would you be interested in visiting and why? (approx. 150 words)
- Please name three Britons you admire (living or historical) and indicate why. (approx. 200 words)
After submitting the application you may receive a message requesting a transcript and teacher recommendation, which are not required for the Fall in London Freshman Program. You need only complete the online application with the three short essay questions. Please bear with us as there are still a few bugs in the application that we are working out!
Notification
The admissions for the Fall 2009 Freshmen in London program will begin in May. All applicants will be reviewed and admitted on a rolling basis while space in the program permits. Students will receive an email notification within two weeks of successfully submitting their application. Admitted students will also receive an acceptance packet in the mail. This packet will contain information about arriving, flights, study visas, banking, cell phones, and much more. At that time, accepted students should also access the “admitted students” section of our website which covers the necessary steps to prepare for spending the fall semester in London in the months leading to departure.
Reserving your spot
Your space in the program will be guaranteed only once we have received your confirmation/registration form and a $300 deposit in the form of a personal check. Please note that students will only be able to register for classes once NYU has received this deposit. It is important to keep in mind that it takes three to four days for NYU to process a deposit.
