Never Too Early to Start the Process
From exploring internship opportunities, to satisfying prerequisites, or even visiting prospective campuses during your travels, the more you know about your interests and the program options available to you, the better.
The rule of thumb is that by the start of your junior year, you should be speaking with an advisor about actionable steps to apply.
Timeline
The timeline will depend on the application deadlines of your chosen programs. Keep in mind schools may have one deadline, multiple deadlines, or rolling admissions for single or multiple program start dates. Do research to make sure you do not miss any deadlines.
Standardized Tests
Depending on your field of study, you may be required to take a standardized test to apply for your chosen graduate program.
If the language of instruction of the program is English, they may require an English language proficiency exam such as the TOEFL or IELTS. This requirement may be waived if your bachelor’s degree is from a US-accredited and/or English language institution (as NYU Abu Dhabi is).
