2021-22 Standardized Test Waiver Request Form

To request a standardized test waiver for the 2021-2022 admissions cycle, applicants will be asked to submit the request form and upload the required documents. Those who provide strong examples of academic readiness (e.g., strong analytical or quantitative undergraduate or graduate majors, professional work experience, certifications, etc.) may be more likely to receive a standardized test waiver.

If NYU Stern does not grant you a standardized test waiver, your application may still be competitive for admission; we would like to receive the standardized test as an additional data point in our review of your candidacy. The standardized test score is only one of many components of our holistic application process.

Please select which program you intend to apply to in the 2021-2022 admissions cycle? You may only apply for one standardized test waiver for the 2021-2022 admissions cycle. Waivers are not transferrable between programs. Please carefully select which program you intend to apply for.

Please note, applicants to NYU Stern dual degree programs are not eligible to apply with a standardized test waiver.
