Submitting Your Materials
Applicants to the LL.M. program in either Singapore or New York City and applicants to the J.S.D. program must use the NYU School of Law Graduate Online Application (application fee: $75).
We prefer that the application fee be paid online using either an American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa credit card. However, if you are unable to pay your application fee online, you may mail your fee with the Payment Identification Form (accessible from the online application) using an international money order, or check drawn on a U.S. bank, payable to New York University in U.S. dollars. Do not send cash or traveler's checks.
LL.M. and J.S.D. applicants are required to submit the personal statement and resume via electronic attachment to the online application. LL.M. applicants to the Hauser Global Scholarship, the Singapura Scholarship, and/or the Transitional Justice Scholars Program must also electronically attach the required essay(s) to the online application. J.S.D. applicants must electronically attach the proposal of study to the online application. Additionally, all applicants have the option of using the online recommendation service. Please do not mail paper copies of electronically submitted materials to the Office of Graduate Admissions. Such duplicate submission of materials only slows down the admissions process for all applicants.
The Committee on Graduate Admissions requires that applicants with foreign legal education credentials use the Law School Admission Council’s (LSAC) Credential Assembly Service. The service assists with the processing of applications by collecting, authenticating, and distributing credentials in an electronic report to all the schools to which an applicant applies. For registration information, visit llm.lsac.org. The registration fee for the LSAC Credential Assembly Service is $185; this fee permits you to request that your report be sent to five schools, with the option to purchase additional reports, and your credentials will be kept on file for five years.
Applicants using the LSAC Credential Assembly Service do not need the NYU School of Law transcript form. These applicants must submit their official transcripts (and certified translations, if required) and documentation of class rank directly to LSAC by the appropriate NYU deadline. Applicants should understand the LSAC suggested transcript submission deadline as a guide for the processing materials. Official transcripts received by LSAC by the required NYU deadline will be considered timely by the Committee on Graduate Admissions.
LL.M. applicants with foreign education credentials wishing to be considered exclusively for NYU@NUS, or for both locations of study, may use the LSAC Credential Assembly Service. However, because of time constraints, we recommend that these applicants instead send the transcript form, official transcripts (and translations, if required) and documentation of class rank directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions.
NYU School of Law is unable to provide a reduction of the fee for the LSAC Credential Assembly Service. Those applicants with foreign education credentials for whom the fee represents a significant financial burden may submit the transcript form, official transcripts (and translations, if required) and documentation of class rank directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions.
The LSAC Credential Assembly Service is not available for applicants whose first degree in law is from a U.S. or Puerto Rican law school. These applicants should submit the transcript form, official transcripts (and translations, if required) and documentation of class rank directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions.
