New York University (NYU) evaluates applicants based on academic performance, standardized test scores, and extracurricular involvement. A strong high school GPA, typically above 3.7, is preferred. SAT scores range between 1350-1530 or ACT scores of 31-34 for competitive applicants.
International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL (100+), IELTS (7.5+), or Duolingo (125+). Letters of recommendation, essays, and portfolios (for arts programs) are also required. Some programs may have additional prerequisites, such as auditions or interviews. Transfer students need college transcripts with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Financial documentation is mandatory for international applicants to prove funding capability.
