Frequently Asked Questions

I am unable to submit my application, what shall I do in this case?

If you have difficulties submitting your application, save it first and then clear your cache (go to your browser's options menu and select clear history/clear browsing data/clean cache). After that, close all of your browser windows, reopen it, and log back into your application. This will usually always allow you to submit your application.

What is the minimum number of letters of recommendation and who should write them?

Three letters of recommendation from people who are familiar with your academic credentials are necessary. People who are most familiar with your previous studies, research interests, or job, including at least one instructor from the institution you previously attended, should serve as recommenders. Instructors familiar with your work in the field in which you plan to study are preferred by the NYU’s Schools.

My transcript is incomplete because I have not gotten my baccalaureate. So, what should I do now?

You should upload a transcript reflecting your academic record through your most recent term of study if you are presently finishing your baccalaureate.
