Transcript: Request official transcript(s) from institutions you’ve attended, including Rutgers. Your institution(s) should send original, official transcripts, showing your degree awarded, to the appropriate graduate admissions office. If your institution is a sending member of Parchment, eScrip-Safe, or National Student Clearinghouse, Rutgers will be able to receive your official transcripts electronically. We also accept electronic transcripts from India sent via TrueCopy Credentials. View address information for Graduate and Professional Admissions offices(http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu/about/contact-us). If the official copy of your transcript will be delayed past the program deadline, consider uploading an unofficial, scanned copy of your transcripts. Personal Statement: All of the standard application materials should be sent to the Admissions Office. The Personal Statement is not optional. This is where you tell us who you are, what you’ve been doing lately, and why you want to join our program! Recommendation Letter: Letters of recommendation (3): Fill in your recommenders' email addresses carefully so that they can receive your request and submit your recommendation without delay. Please refer to http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu/apply/before-you-apply for more information. Other Documents: In addition, all applicants will need to submit the following to Dr. Porter via email: 1. One research or analysis paper on any topic as a writing sample. An undergraduate paper is fine, and it does not even have to be about music–the point is to show that you write well in English. 2. A short recording of your playing any kind of music (classical is fine) to demonstrate your level of musical competence. 3. A page of sheet music that they have written or transcribed to demonstrate knowledge of notation. It need not be transcribed–we will teach you how to do that. That is only mentioned as an option. It can be anything that you wrote out by hand or in Finale. The point is to show that you are familiar with notation. The above three items can be emailed to Dr. Porter at Lrpjazz@gmail.com If you need to use snail mail for the above, write to: Professor Lewis Porter Bradley Hall 213 Rutgers University Newark, NJ 07102
