Information Sessions

Program information sessions are usually the first contact that aspiring students have with The New School. Held in an open forum, information sessions typically include a presentation and Q&A with faculty and admission representatives. 

Find out more about what The New School for Public Engagement looks for in undergraduate applicants and learn how to put a solid application together. The application essays will be discussed in detail, focusing on the purpose of each essay in the admission process, how they are evaluated, and tips on preparing for and writing them. Transfer credits, financial aid, and other items important in the application process will also be covered.

Personalized Admission Days are designed to provide applicants and prospective students with individualized service. Meet individually with an admission counselor to discuss our programs, the application and financial aid processes, and/or specific aspects of your situation. If you have copies of your transcripts, we can give you a preliminary transfer credit evaluation. If you have submitted your application and all required supplemental items, we may be able to give you admission decision on the spot!

One-on-one appointments with an admission counselor can be scheduled Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
