1. Completed Application Form

Begin by submitting your application through Yeshiva University's official portal. This includes providing your personal details, academic history, and program-specific information. Ensure all sections are thoroughly completed to avoid delays in processing.

2. Application Fee

A non-refundable application fee of $65 is required. This fee supports the administrative costs associated with processing your application. Payment can typically be made online during the application submission process. 

3. High School Transcript

Submit official transcripts from all high schools you've attended. These should be sent directly from the school to ensure they are considered official. Transcripts submitted by applicants themselves are not accepted. If you attended a Jewish high school, include a Jewish studies transcript as well. 

4. Standardized Test Scores

Yeshiva University accepts both SAT and ACT scores. While submission is optional, providing these scores can strengthen your application, especially if your GPA is on the lower end. The average SAT score for admitted students is approximately 1340, and the average ACT score is around 29. 

5. Letters of Recommendation

Two letters of recommendation are required:

Academic Recommendation: From a teacher or school counselor who can speak to your academic abilities.

Character Reference: From someone who can attest to your personal qualities and character.

These letters should be submitted directly by the recommenders to the admissions office.

6. Personal Essay

Write a personal essay responding to one of the provided prompts. This is your opportunity to showcase your personality, experiences, and motivations for applying to Yeshiva University. The essay helps the admissions committee understand who you are beyond your grades and test scores.
