Application: Simplified and Flexible

The admissions committee is a resource for you throughout the application process.

When you apply, you will have the opportunity to highlight your professional and academic experience. The admissions committee will also have the chance to get to know you personally and where you want to go next in your career through NYU Stern’s unique essays such as the “Pick Six” (an essay where you submit six images). To further showcase your “emotional quotient (EQ),” NYU Stern asks for one “EQ endorsement” from someone who can speak to your work as a teammate and leader. You will need to submit a standardized test score — the GMAT, GRE, EA, are among the many accepted tests. NYU Stern provides the option to apply for a test waiver.

When you’re ready, take the next step in your career and apply. You can learn more about the Fashion & Luxury MBA on NYU Stern’s website.
