Our application for the 2024–25 academic year is now open. All materials, including letters of recommendation, should be submitted by January 31, 2024, 5:00PM ET, if you would like your application to receive priority review. Applications submitted after January 31, 2024, will be reviewed on a rolling basis, if space is available.

We conduct a holistic review of each application. Required materials include the following:

• A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. A GPA of 3.0 or higher is encouraged, but not necessary for admission.
• At least one course in each of the following subjects: genetics, statistics, and introductory computer programming. A strong background is not required; students in our program learn computational and quantitative methods and how to apply them to clinical cases.
• A statement of purpose that demonstrates an interest in genetics and healthcare
• Two letters of recommendation

Applicants’ prior academic and professional experiences are reviewed to identify ability to succeed in graduate-level work and to function as part of a group.

Evaluation Criteria and Test Scores

A committee of faculty members from NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Sarah Lawrence College evaluates each applicant’s academic qualifications. Interviews with program faculty are required as part of the admissions process. The program does not require GRE/GMAT scores.

Competitive applicants are proficient in spoken and written English. If you are an international student or a U.S. resident who has not taken classes in the United States, you must demonstrate English–language skills in reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension.

Official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score reports should be sent to NYU’s Graduate School of Arts and Science, institution code 2596, department code 45. International English Language Testing System (IELTS) reports should be submitted electronically to “NYU Vilcek Institute of Grad Biomed Studies.” Duolingo test scores can be submitted once you receive them by selecting “New York University Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences” from the application drop-down menu.
