Please carefully read our application instructions for a complete description of all application

requirements and policies. The instructions are available in two places:

Step 1. Instructions in the online application

All applicants to the Graduate School of Arts and Science (GSAS) are required to submit a complete application for admission. In addition to the application form questions, a complete application includes academic transcripts, test scores, letters of recommendation, a rsum or curriculum vitae, a statement of purpose, and the application fee. APPLICATION DEADLINES All application materials must be received by 5 p.m. eastern time on the deadline date. Deadline dates are provided for each program in the section labeled Application Deadlines. If an application deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal U.S. holiday, then the next business day will be the deadline date.

Record Examination (GRE) unless an exception is specifically noted under program-specific requirements. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of all applicants who are not native English

speakers (this requirement is waived if the applicant has completed a baccalaureate or masters degree at an institution where the language of instruction is English).

The Graduate School requires official test scores for the GRE and TOEFL. Self-reported test scores and copies of test score reports from the GRE and TOEFL programs are not considered official. Official test scores must be sent to us directly from the GRE or TOEFL program; make sure they are sent to New York UniversityGSAS, code 2596. Refer to the application instructions for complete information about how to properly submit official test scores to the Graduate School.

Full details about the testing policies are available in our FAQ on testing in the Application Resource Center. Please read the information carefully.

programs are not able to use the online application. Refer to Application Policies in the Application Resource Center.)

If a program recommends or requires a subject test of the GRE, it is specified in the section labeled GRE and TOEFL.

If a program requires a writing sample, it is described. Please note that the writing sample is in addition to the personal statement that is a standard part of the application.

If a program has any other special requirements, they will be listed. Applicants to dual degree programs (programs offered by GSAS and another school at NYU, such as the

School of Law, Medicine, Business, or Public Service) must apply to each school separately. Admission to the dual degree program is contingent upon acceptance by both schools.
