Application Checklist
NYU Abu Dhabi will look at the student’s entire application, including grades, test scores, extracurricular work, recommendations, personal statements, etc. We cannot evaluate an application without the submission of all parts; there is no single most important element to the application.
Before submitting any form, be sure to make copies for your own records (this step does not apply to teacher recommendation letters, which should not be shared with the student or his/her family prior to submission; instead, request that your teacher retain a copy of your recommendation for his/her records).
Please submit all supplemental materials digitally whenever possible. If necessary, you may submit documents in hard copy to:
NYU Abu Dhabi Admissions
19 Washington Square North
New York, NY 10011
USA
- Complete the Common Application. The application will be available starting in August 2011. Search for and select "New York University." You will be able to select the Abu Dhabi campus on the NYU Supplement.
- Complete the NYU Supplement to the Common Application.
- Complete your portion (top) of the High School Report/Counselor Recommendation Form and give it to your college adviser or guidance counselor.
- Complete your portion (top) of the Teacher Recommendation Form and give it to a teacher with a stamped envelope addressed to the address above.
- Submit your official high school transcript (and Equivalency Diploma test scores if applicable).
- Submit your standardized test score(s). TOEFL and IELTS scores may be submitted as additional support of a student’s English ability, but do not satisfy our exam requirements. All scores should be submitted as official reports directly from the testing agency (if possible) or from a student’s school counselor with an official stamp. The NYU code for submitting SAT and TOEFL scores is 2562. The NYU code for submitting ACT scores is 2838. Any other exam scores should be sent directly to the address above.

Fee Waiver Requests
Students who feel that the application fee would be a financial hardship may request a fee waiver. If you would like to request a fee waiver, please check any one of the fee waiver boxes on the Common Application and submit your brief request in writing to nyuad.admissions@nyu.edu. If you do not hear from us in two business days, you can assume that your request has been granted.
We cannot consider your fee waiver request after you apply for admission if you did not check one of the fee waiver boxes on the Common Application.
