We are excited to announce that applications are now open for this year’s Application Support Group (ASG) — a New York University-based, student-led initiative supporting prospective Ph.D. applicants in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and related disciplines.
The ASG is a free program led by Ph.D. students and postdocs at NYU, designed to guide prospective applicants, especially those with limited access to other resources. We offer 1-on-1 mentorship with current NYU Ph.D. students and postdocs, including expert feedback on your Statement of Purpose, CV, interview prep, and general guidance. Anyone considering applying to programs in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, or related fields in the United States is welcome to apply.
Enrollment Period is July 15 – September 15, 2025
If you're selected for 1:1 mentorship, you'll hear from us by the end of September. If not, or if you miss the deadline, don’t worry — we’ll be sending a link to the Discord, where group office hours will begin in early October, to everyone who submits an application, regardless of whether they’re selected or submit their application after the deadline.
Important Note: If you already filled out a survey previous to July 15th, please re-submit using the updated form to apply.
We look forward to supporting your grad-school journey!
Best,
NYU ASG Team
