FAQ
Where can I find more information about the NYU Masters Program in Bioethics?To learn more about the program and application requirements, visit http://bioethics.as.nyu.edu/
How do I request a waiver of the GRE requirement?To request a waiver of the GRE requirement, applicants must hold a Ph.D., post-baccalaureate professional degree (J.D., M.D.), or must have taken the MCAT or LSAT within the last five years. After submitting a completed application online, the eligible applicant must contact the program via email at bioethics@nyu.edu to request a waiver of the GRE along with a copy of the score (can be a screenshot or scanned copy of official MCAST or LSAT scores). If the applicant holds a professional degree, this must be reflected in the transcripts submitted in his/her completed application. Subsequently, the program will request a waiver from the Graduate Enrollment Services (GES) on behalf of the applicant. The Bioethics program will then respond directly to the applicant notifying her/him of the status of the waiver approval. Visit http://bioethics.as.nyu.edu/ob
I have not yet taken my GRE but plan to do so after the May 1st application deadline. I want to apply for fall 2012 admission, can I still do so?Yes. You may still submit your application without your GRE scores. If accepted into the program, you will receive a notice from GES stating that your acceptance is conditional upon receipt of the GRE scores or GRE waiver. You must submit your GRE scores or request for a waiver (and have the waiver approved) before matriculating into the Bioethics program.
I have missed the May 1st application deadline for fall 2012, can I still apply?
Yes. The preferred application deadline is May 1st for applicants who wish to apply for admissions to the fall 2012 semester. Applications that are submitted after the deadline will be accepted on a rolling-basis. Preference for fellowship assistance will be given to candidates who applied by or before the May 1st preferred deadline.

I have been accepted to the NYU Bioethics program but want to defer, how can I do this?

After doing this, contact GES to notify them that you would like to request a deferral of the fall or spring semester(s). Note that you cannot defer for more than one academic year. If you been granted a deferral and have not matriculated in one academic year, you will then need to re-apply for admissions to the Bioethics program if you wish to matriculate into the program.
