Transcript:
Copies of official transcripts from all institutions. An unofficial transcript should be uploaded with your online application.
Curriculum Vitae:
Resume/CV: Include a concise resume/vitae that shows your timeline of undergraduate and any graduate education as well as professional and research experience.
Personal Statement:
A Statement of Purpose that includes (1) Why biophysics is your chosen field (2) Academic accomplishments, (3) Statements that would attest to your readiness for the MOB program. This should be no longer than 2 pages. Please also include in this statement the names of three MOB faculty members with whom you share research interests. (Here is an article from the Princeton Review with some tips on preparation of a statement of purpose; note that at FSU we do want to get a full picture of the applicant so inclusion of a short description of your extracurricular interests is fine.)
Recommendation Letter:
Three letters of recommendation from individuals that attest to your academic ability and research potential.
Research Statement :
Research Statement (separate from Statement of Purpose): Describe research experience you have had. Include your mentor’s name, period of time, and a description of the projects with which you were involved. Tell us the purpose of the research and your role in it.
