Undergraduate Transcript
Undergraduate transcript(s) are required to apply. Please upload your unofficial NYU transcript (link leads to instructions for access and downloading this unofficial transcript).
If you transferred to NYU, please also upload official transcripts from any previous undergraduate institution where you have earned credit. You can upload a PDF scan of an official non-NYU transcript, or an official electronic copy ordered directly from your previous school's Registrar. If you do the latter, you may be sent a PDF portfolio (a bundle of several official documents). You will not be able to upload the entire portfolio into our online application system - instead, please save/print each of the documents as individual PDFs and then upload them.

Resume/CV
You will need to submit an up-to-date resume or CV with your application. If you have any concerns about updating or creating a resume, we recommend that you speak with a Career Coach at the Wasserman Center for resume review and assistance

Letters of Recommendation
Two letters of recommendation are required to apply. Ideally these letters of recommendation should come from faculty or colleagues who work in areas connected to the field of Clinical Research. They should be able to speak to your readiness for graduate training in Clinical Research, either with reference to your academic history or practical research experiences that might have shaped your understanding of relevant questions and challenges.
Your recommenders will be required to submit their recommendations via the online application. Athough you will need to wait until you access the online application to request your letters officially, it is always a good idea to contact your recommenders in advance of sending them an official request, even as soon as you think you will apply to a Bachelor's-Master's track. It is courteous to give your recommenders at least a month's notice to produce a new letter of recommendation.
