Tips/FAQs on Applications
- Transcripts: NYNY accept unofficial transcripts.
- Recommendation letter: These should be submitted online. Recommenders receive a link from students and students can check if letters have been submitted on the online application system (WizeHive).
- Essays: NYNY recommends students write this first in a word processing software and consider getting help from Fellow Ambassadors or the writing center. NYNYs look for students who answer the question, and submit error-free work. For students who have trouble thinking about a challenge, please know the question is mostly about one’s understanding of and approach to the challenge, not the specifics of the challenge.
- Difficulty finishing the application: Students should reach out to NYNY staff early if they are experiencing challenges.
