On this page, general requirements.

To be eligible for consideration to any graduate program at NYU Tandon, you must hold a four year U.S. Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution, or its international equivalent. We do not accept undergraduate degrees that are equivalent to three years of study. However, degrees that are completed within the Bologna signatory system that are Bachelor of Engineering (or a related field), and earn 180+ ECTS credits, are eligible for consideration. Please note that the minimum GPA requirement is a 3.0 out of a 4.0 scale. 

Attention will be given to the programs accredited by ABET and programs accredited/approved by other various regional accrediting associations. Please be advised that admission to a program that is different from your undergraduate field of study may require the completion of prerequisite courses before you will be permitted to begin graduate-level coursework. The NYU Tandon School of Engineering reserves the right to investigate or disqualify educational credentials on a case-by-case basis.

Application Requirements

To ensure the most efficient application processing, submit your application before sending documents or submitting test scores.

Mailing Address (For all application documents. Please note that this is our document processing center in Pennsylvania) : NYU Tandon School of Engineering Graduate Admissions Processing Center 458 Pike Road Huntingdon Valley, PA 19006

Cyber Fellows applicants can review application requirements  here.  All other applicants, review the requirements below. 

The Office of Graduate Admissions requires all applicants to complete the online application and does not accept paper-based applications. The application must be completed and submitted on or before the posted deadline for the term of entry.

Once you have completed all sections of the online application, validate and submit it. After submission, you will not be able to make changes to your application information. Please keep in mind that once submitted, we are unable to return your application materials or documents. If you wish to submit updated documentation, please email us so we can advise on the best way to submit it.

In some cases, the academic department may choose to contact the applicant for an interview.

The non-refundable application fee is $90 and is payable in the online system by major credit card. We do not offer refunds for the application fee so please do not pay the fee more than once per application. If you are having problems submitting your payment via credit card, please contact  the Office of Graduate Enrollment Management and Admissions . If paying the application fee poses a financial hardship for you, we don’t want that to stop you from applying. You may request an application fee waiver by emailing us at [email protected] .

As part of your application, you are expected to provide a response, in written form, to two prompts. A response to both prompts is required. This is an opportunity for you to give us a stronger sense of who you are, as a person. Your essay should be as unique as you are and should be written using your own voice. Include each prompt as the header for each of your two responses. When finished, combine your response to both prompts into one single PDF and upload it to the application. Your total essay upload should be 12 pt, Arial font and no more than two pages, double-spaced, in length.

Prompt 1 : Drawing from your previous academic, professional and personal experiences, tell us what attracted you to the program of study you have noted in your application. Be very specific about your past experiences and how they shaped your interests.

Prompt 2 : Students often have a wide range of ideas and plans for what they hope to achieve after they receive their graduate degree. Tell us what your 5-year plan is after completing a degree from NYU Tandon.

A copy of your most recent résumé or curriculum vitae must be uploaded to the online application.

For admissions review, we will accept copies of your official transcript and proof of undergraduate degree (if completed) uploaded to your application or emailed to us at [email protected] . Screenshots or student portal downloads will not be accepted or used in your application review. Please note that we require transcripts from all institutions attended.

If you are offered admission, we will require official final transcripts sent to our office directly from your undergraduate institution to finalize your admission, prior to enrollment in your first semester. To satisfy this requirement, we will accept hard copy/physical transcripts, or electronic transcripts. No scanned copies will be accepted once you've been admitted.

A hard copy or physical transcript is considered official when it is in a sealed, unopened envelope mailed directly from your previous institution to NYU Tandon. An electronic transcript is considered official if it is sent through a digital credential service such as Parchment, Student Clearinghouse, Credential Solutions or a similar, secure third-party platform, or emailed directly from your institution’s registrar’s office.

Please see sections below for specific country requirements.

• We will accept uploaded or scanned copies of your official documents for application review. If admitted and upon enrollment, official university-issued or attested copies of college transcripts or a consolidated statement of marks are required.
• If sending attested copies of your mark sheets, the attestation must be made by (and only by) the Controller of Examinations or Registrar from the degree-granting institution and received in a sealed envelope from the institution.
• Indian students finishing the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) after Grade 10 may choose to enter a polytechnic and pursue a three-year Diploma in Engineering program. Should they then seek admission into a Bachelor of Engineering (BEngr) or Bachelor of Technology (BTech) program at a university, they will be placed in Year 2 of that four-year program with the prior Diploma study providing transfer credit equivalent to the first year of degree studies. Thus, a graduate applicant must submit marksheets and diploma for the Diploma in Engineering program in addition to the bachelor's degree credential.
• If a degree has been earned at the time of application, an attested copy of the official Degree Certificate must be submitted. If the Degree Certificate is not yet available, an attested copy of the official Provisional Degree will be accepted for admission purposes only. Please note that we do not accept self-attested copies, they must be attested by your institution.
• Note that academic records that are not in English are subject to the guidelines below (“Transcripts not in English from any country”)
• For any transcript that is not officially issued in English by the institution, an English-language translation is required. (Dual-language transcripts issued by the institution are acceptable and do not require translation)
• Complete and literal (word-for-word and line-by-line), replicating the original as precisely as possible, with no attempts at interpretation or evaluation
• Prepared in the same format as the original document
• Typed on organization or school letterhead/stationery
• Signed or stamped by an approved translator (see below)
• The institution issuing the transcript
• A consulate or embassy of the United States or of the institution’s country
• A professional, certified, and/or accredited translation agency
• The applicant or members of his/her family
• Individuals not affiliated with any of the organizations listed above

Official transcripts must be received in a sealed envelope from the institution.

The Office of Graduate Enrollment Management and Admissions office conducts an independent, external evaluation of credentials (at no additional cost to the student). As such, there is no need to submit additional course-by-course evaluations. We do not accept credential evaluation reports like WES, ECE, etc. in place of your original transcripts. Failure to submit the correct documentation will delay the processing of your application. Please submit only the official transcripts and translations, as needed.

Find out if your program requires the GRE or GMAT here:  GRE Requirements . If the GRE is required for your programs, your official test scores must be on file before your application will be reviewed. To be considered official, the GRE test scores must be submitted electronically through ETS (institution code is  2668; a departmental code is not required). The name and date of birth on your test scores must match the name and date of birth on your application, in order for us to receive your scores correctly. Learn more about the GRE exam on the ETS website.

ETS offers at-home testing for the GRE. Please visit their website here for more information and to see if you are eligible for this option: ETS GRE General Test - Home Edition .

Your Guide to the NYU Supplemental Essay

Katie Hindman

Senior Assistant Director of Admissions

As part of this year’s first-year application , you’ll have the option to answer a new NYU supplemental essay question. This year, we’re asking something brand new:

We are looking for peacemakers, changemakers, global citizens, boundary breakers, creatives and innovators – Choose one quote from the following and let us know why it inspires you; or share a short quote and person not on our list who inspires you, and include why (250 words).

• “We’re used to people telling us there are no solutions, and then creating our own. So we did what we do best. We reached out to each other, and to our allies, and we mobilized across communities to make change, to benefit and include everyone in society.”  Judith Heumann, 2022 NYU Commencement Address
• “ I encourage your discomfort, that you must contribute, that you must make your voice heard. That is the essence of good citizenship .” Sherilynn Ifill, 2015 NYU Commencement Address
• “If you know how to fly but you never knew how to walk, wouldn’t that be sad?” Lang Lang, 2015 NYU Honorary Degree Recipient
• “ You have the right to want things and to want things to change. ” Sanna Marin, Former Prime Minister of Finland,  2023 NYU Commencement Address
• “It’s hard to fight when the fight ain’t fair.” Taylor Swift, “Change,” Released 2008, 2022 NYU Commencement Speaker
• Share a short quote and person not on this list, and why the quote inspires you.

No matter your initial reaction to this new question (perhaps “How or where do I start?!” or  “Hmm, nobody has answered this before…” or even “Woohoo! I get to be the first to take this on– no expectations!”), we want this question to give you a chance to shine.

Remember that there are real people (like me!) on the other side of the screen reading your application, and no matter what you write, we are grateful that you’re willing to share with us. 

We encourage you to approach the (optional!) NYU supplemental essay question with a sense of curiosity and excitement– because, after all, it’s all about YOU! 

HOW SHOULD YOU START?

Everyone’s writing process is distinct and personal. To begin, it might be helpful to jot down some ideas about what inspires you in each of these quotes. Even if one jumps out immediately, give some thought to them all! Is there a common theme that comes up in the ways you relate to each? Do they remind you of another quote that inspires you? Brainstorm in the way that works best for you, but give yourself a fair opportunity to consider your best answer.

Once you’ve chosen the quote you’ll reflect on, get all of your thoughts on paper. Sometimes the best writing comes from fragmented and unedited ideas, so try to stay away from judging your own writing before it’s time to edit.

WHAT SHOULD YOU SAY?

While each of the selected quotes has a specific connection to NYU, we want your answer to be about YOU. We assume you’re excited about NYU because you’re choosing to apply, so there’s no need to use this as a way to tell us about your interest in the school. You also don’t need to give us a literary or academic analysis! We’re confident you’re developing these skills in school. Rather, this is our opportunity to read about what inspires you as an individual (because we’re inspired by these quotes, too)!

Finally, think about how your answer might enhance what you’ve already shared with us through the rest of your application. Remember, you only have 250 words to answer the NYU supplemental essay, so start big and then narrow your ideas down to their most succinct form. Pick an idea and get right to it.

THE BOTTOM LINE…

There is no right or wrong way to answer as long as your answer is genuine to you. 

Remember that this question is completely optional (we promise). If you decide that you don’t want to answer the question, you will not be penalized in the admissions process. 

All of us admissions counselors are wishing you the very best of luck as you complete your college applications. We are already looking forward to learning more about the unique and dynamic class of 2028!

搞定大学申请视频面试video essay

今天的文章，我们和大家讲讲美国大学申请中被越来越看重的“视频文书”（video essay，以下简称VE)。

越来越多的申请人，无论是申请本科还是研究生，无论什么专业，几乎所有人都参与了至少一个面试或上传了一个VE，可见其已成为申请中不可或缺的重要部分。尤其对于申请美研的同学来说，相较于书面的文书，面试和VE是软肋中最软的肋，再重视也不为过。

先给几个VE的趋势作为结论：

广泛性： 再早几年，VE还仅仅被商学院要求。但从近两年开始，VE存在于工学院、信息科学学院、艺术电影学院、新闻传媒学院以及对语言要求较高的文科类申请中。大部分学校对VE的政策是Required（强制要求），少部分是Recommended（建议提供）。

隐蔽性： 以往的VE都是在网申中出现，是申请的一部分，但今年一些项目却在网申提交后的一段时间后才通知需要VE。以哥大工学院为例，网申里并无提及申请中有VE，但我们的3位学员在提交申请后的一个月内都陆续幸运收到邀请。

多样性： VE的问题呈现越来越多样的趋势。除了最常见的自我介绍还有：

• Self-introduction（自我介绍）
• Behavioral question（基于过往经历）
• Tricky question（天马行空的问题）
• Read-and-respond question（类似托福口语，读完文章马上作答）

这篇文章以self-introduction和behavioral question详细分析。

为了写这篇文章，小编浏览了网上一些文章和VE作品，真是大开眼界：震撼的音乐、精美的设计、炫目的剪辑…… 小金人非你莫属。

但这样天马行空的创作属于creative work，仅仅适用于学校要求的“creative self-introduction”题目的情况。可除了电影学院或艺术学院，几乎没有系所对VE的要求包含或隐射需要“creative”（不排除例外情况，如某些MBA项目）。所以苦恼于VE没有“大制作”的同学，可以安心。

（敲黑板）审题是video essay成功第一步，要正确理解VE的本质，即对于观看者来说—You know it when you see it，而不是用复杂的镜头语言和电影叙事手法拍片。在一点上维基的解释是正确无误的——“much like a written essay”，因此它的本质还是essay。

essay本身的定义在中文语境有多种解读：札记、申论、个人陈述。追根溯源，essay这个词由法国文艺复兴后期哲学家蒙田提出，其形式接近中文的“随笔”：主观的叙事或议论。

换言之，video essay就是用镜头记录和表现主观的叙事或议论。仅此而已。

网上随便就能找到一堆VE经验，这里挑两个有参考价值的：

以下是西北大学Kellogg商学院关于VE的解答

答：大学文化在Kellogg非常重要。所以我们想要见到（meet）每个人。我们用VE作为每位申请人的附加信息。这是我们在阅读申请时的最后环节。它让我们了解你的个性，让我们以比你的文章更个性化的方式认识你。

A：做你自己。我们不想要备稿的答案。不要重复申请文书已经写过的例子，或者以某种迂回的方式这么做。我们完全能判断你是否在背稿子，你会听起来像个机器人。

问：你会问什么样的问题？

答：我们会问你一个破冰问题，例如， “如果你能在世界任何地方生活一年，是哪里，为什么？” 第二个问题将是关于我们学院。这个问题是 “你有什么职业追求，你打算做什么来实现它，为什么这个项目适合你？”其他问题将是面试类型的问题，例如，“告诉我一个你曾经无法在截止日期前完成的任务。你是怎么处理这种情况的？结果是什么？”

答：没有。VE不是考试。我们使用VE来获取有关你的其他信息，并以更个性化的方式。没有完美的答案？不要惊慌！做自己。

答：你可以根据需要多次练习，而且练习部分从问题的格式和类型都与实际问题相同。但是，当你正真开始后，你只能试一次。所以你得练习，以熟悉过程和设备。我们把练习题放在那里，这样你就不会紧张了。玩得开心，尽力而为。

问：我真的没有第二次机会？

答：没有。就像现实中的求职面试一样。面试中你会被问到一个问题并且你没有完美的答案，但是你可以继续做出最好的回答。

问：我需要多长时间来考虑我的答案，以及我需要多长时间作答？

答：你将有20秒的时间来考虑，并有60秒的时间作答。我们建议你练习。花10分钟时间完成练习题。你练习的越多，你就会觉得做真正的VE会更舒服。

问：我应该穿什么？我必须穿西装吗？

答：如果你愿意，你可以穿西装; 但是商务休闲也挺好。真的，我们只会看到你的头和肩膀，所以你可以穿一件有领衬衫，我们永远不会知道你穿着运动裤。

问：我应该在哪里录制我的VE？

答：哪里都行 - 你的办公室、厨房、公寓、酒店房间。只要确保有良好的互联网连接，周围环境不会让你分心。

问：申请流程的哪一部分是VE？我如何访问VE？

答：提交申请后，当您登录申请人状态页面时，就可以开始VE练习和录制。

问：我需要多长时间才能完成视频文章？

答：提交申请后就可以访问VE部分并在申请截止日后的48小时内完成上传。我们鼓励申请人在提交申请后不久就完成VE。请尽量不要等到最后一刻 - 如果您在最后一分钟做，你会感到更加紧张。

下面是Youtube上观看最多的关于VE的视频：

"为什么需要VE呢？因为一、你不是分数、你不是那些申请材料，而是一个活生生的人。二、他们就想看见你的性格，是否你有幽默感、你是否能把复杂的想法讲清楚；他们不会问你不懂的问题，而是诸如“你想和谁共进晚餐”、“你最离不开的科学发明”这样的问题。三、他们希望你可以“Think on your feet”，你的文书可以一改再改，但VE需要你做出当下立刻的、不加修饰的回答。

做VE时，你需要注意着装。第二，看着他们的眼睛，你的眼睛应该盯着摄像头，这样的VE效果才是完美的，对方才知道你在试图和他们交流。第三、直接阐述观点，如果你被问到你想和吃饭，你可以直接说Barbarra Streisand，是莎士比亚，你的邻居……讲清楚为什么，没有答案是正确的。第四，面试前你得建立这样的信念：招生官希望你就是他们想要的，他们希望你成功。最后，注意做一个结尾，而不是被倒计时突然打断。"

一. Self-introduction

学校要求申请人自己录制一段1~2分钟的视频。根据不同学校的要求，或者通过发链接、或者进入第三方录制平台录制。发链接的情况可以录制多次，第三方平台录制一般只有一次录制机会（但允许不多于三次尝试）。因为这种VE是最为常见的类型，且可被准备性较高，所以也作为我们今天解析的重点。

此类video essay一般也分为两种小题型，一种为introduction video, 会有一些限定引导性的小题目；另一个种是从限定的题目中选择一个，类似behavioral question。分别以南加大商学院和爱默里商学院题目为例：

1. 制作简历。 一定记得：绝大部分的面试或VE，都是evidence-based。即你的答案首先是基于实际经历，而不是想象、预期或想法。因此在做面试和VE前，先完善自己的简历并把每个经历的过程、职位和职责、成果先梳理一遍。最好的办法就是制作像样的简历并在过程中梳理自己的经历。

2. 测量语速。 每个人语速不同，在规定时间内说的单词量就各异。对于这种可备稿VE（scripted), 第二个步骤是测量自己的常规语速能在规定时间内装多少单词。常人的语速大概150~180词左右，可以按照这个标准来准备并练习。如果语速很慢，就要适当提高了。时间/内容上的分配，我们建议：

• 个人信息及背景：不超过10秒；
• 个人经历（有细节）：20-30秒；
• 职业规划/动机：20秒；

3. 根据上面的时间分配，准备一个script 。特别注意，对于这个script，写的过程的意义远大于写好的东西本身，而且千万不要死记硬背！写的过程其实是对自己经历的梳理和变相记忆。再回过头来看已经写的稿子，意义是看哪里的表述可以更清晰、更简洁。千万不要去死记硬背已经写好的东西，否则有背稿子的痕迹。

这里是一个写好的script作为参考：

这个outline可以作为所有self-intro类VE的参考，然后再根据你的情况在每个部分增加和删减。你可以根据自己的语言习惯，paraphrase每个句子，记住：你自己说起来最舒服的才是最好的句子。

而所谓的personality，就是你在每个空里面填什么内容。你的真实经历（What)和你怎么讲述它（How）正好证明你是否是谦虚的、乐观的、合作的、包容的、学习的、正直的、交际的、文艺的。

你一定要对你自己说的深信不疑！模棱两可、含糊其辞，何来自信？

二、Behavioral questions或随机问题

类似于这样的文书，招生官想要的就绝不仅是口语表达、语言组织和自信了。他们希望你讲故事、讲故事、讲故事。

此类题型并非我们今天的解析的重点，因为题库大、随机性大且可准备性低。也是因为如此，多数申请人认为此类型最为头疼烧脑，我们会在之后的文章分析。

需要提醒的是，即使是最强大脑也不可能背完所有题库，况且每年题库都会有更新。但即使题目随机性大，根据我们多年来的总结，问题设置其实也是文书材料的延伸。许多问题都是个人陈述中和简历中的衍生问题，所以有没有亲自参与写作的创作过程至关重要。只要熟悉自己文书中经历的思路和细节以及和职业/学术规划间的逻辑联系，多积累面经中的题库，就可迎刃而解。

I think I posted in the wrong forum so here it is again. I'm wondering what the video essay asks about and if there are different questions for each chance at recording. Thanks!  

I have the same question as you. So do you finally take the video essay? What questions do they ask?  

Max Lamberti

Hey! I guess this response is a bit late if you were gunning to submit for round 1. For anyone from later rounds who is interested, I got a question somewhere along the lines of: "Why do you think you are a good fit for Berkeley's MFE program?" Take it with a grain of salt though, I don't know if everyone gets the same question or if the question persists across application rounds. Not sure whether the question remains the same on the second try, I recorded only one. Good luck!
