[Voiceover] Applying for admission to a graduate program at NYU Steinhardt takes a bit of time and effort
but the payoff could be the next chapter in your personal and professional journey.
This video will explain the steps to successfully submit your application and supporting materials.
Step 1: review the Graduate Application Guide for your program of interest.
After you’ve done your research and selected an NYU Steinhardt degree program that interests you,
our Application Guide will help you understand the application requirements.
All graduate programs require transcripts from every postsecondary school you’ve attended, along with a résumé or CV.
Most also require a statement of purpose, and some ask for test scores, writing samples, a portfolio, audition, or supplemental essays.
Are you an international student?
If so, you may need to provide test scores that indicate evidence of your English language proficiency.
The Application Guide also covers the application deadlines, the times of year you can begin your studies,
and options for full- and part-time study.
Find your Application Guide at steinhardt.nyu.edu/guide to get started.
During this stage of your graduate school preparations,
you’re also encouraged to attend an on-campus or online information session to learn even more.
Most information sessions take place in the fall.
See the full schedule of events at steinhardt.nyu.edu/gradevents.
Step 2: create an application account and fill in all the requested information.
Here you’ll also be able to upload required digital documents, including copies of your official transcripts.
You’ll list your recommenders who will then be automatically prompted by email to provide a letter of recommendation, if required by your program.
A small number of NYU Steinhardt programs require you to submit your application using a separate, centralized application service.
If this applies to you, you will be directed to the right application to use in the Application Guide.
Step 3: sign, review, and submit your application, and then pay the application fee.
Take some time to review and proofread your application before clicking Submit.
After that point you won’t be able to make changes.
You can then pay your application fee with a major credit card.
Debit cards and cash are not accepted at this time.
Step 4: complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or FAFSA, if you’re a US citizen or permanent resident.
This is required in order to be considered for school-based scholarships and other financial aid from NYU for master’s and advanced certificate programs.
You can learn more about the FAFSA and financial aid opportunities at steinhardt.nyu.edu/financialaid
After you’ve submitted your application and all supporting materials,
you can expect to receive an admissions decision around February or March if you’ve applied for Summer or Fall enrollment,
or November for Spring enrollment.
These dates are approximate.
You’ll be notified by email of an update to your application status when your admissions decision is ready.
