Applicants must meet a minimum GPA of 3.0. International applicants must submit transcripts and degree statements both in the original language, and an official English translation.
Personal Statement:
You must also submit a Statement of Purpose Letter (Personal Statement).This document should tell your program’s admissions committee everything you would like to discuss in a personal interview.
You should include your reasons for undertaking graduate work, your ultimate plans, and how you happened to select your desired field. Details about your preparation, your strengths and weaknesses as a student, any academic honors, scholarships, or fellowships you have received, will all be helpful.
You should consult any website(s) maintained by the graduate program to which you applying; these often list additional components that are of particular interest to that program (i.e. your choice of graduate advisor and a rationale for it).
The committee wants to know information about you that cannot be expressed quantitatively.
