Transcript: You must upload legible scanned or digitized copies of your transcripts to the online application system. In addition, you must contact the academic institutions you list on your application Personal Statement: Discuss your reasons for pursuing graduate studies, your educational and professional objectives, your specific interest in the School of Design at Carnegie Mellon University, and any other information that you believe will aid the admissions committee in reaching a decision. For applicants planning a sequence of degree combinations, for example MA+MPS/MDES or PhD, please indicate this in your statement. Your statement should be one to two pages in length. Recommendation Letter: Provide names and contact information (including email addresses) for three people you have chosen to write letters of recommendation on your behalf. Choose a variety of individuals, if possible – for example, a professor, a professional manager, and a mentor. Ask each of them to write a substantive letter about your qualifications for graduate study in design, mentioning your previous study, research, and professional experience. As you enter each recommender’s information on the application, the system will contact that person to request your letter of recommendation. Be sure to keep the admissions timeline in mind, and give your contacts plenty of time to write letters and submit them before the deadline. Portfolio: All applicants, regardless of whether they have a design background or not, must submit a link to their web portfolios. Please read Preparing and Submitting a Portfolio carefully, as this is the most important part of your application for graduate study in the School of Design.
