All applicants must submit official transcripts for all academic work towards any degree earned, including all undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Institutions must submit official transcripts directly to SOPHAS using their Official Transcript Request Form. Photocopies or student copies will not be accepted.
Curriculum Vitae:
A current resume or curriculum vitae (CV) is required. Submit this document directly to your SOPHAS application.
Personal Statement:
A complete application file consists of personal statement (the heart of the application)
Recommendation Letter:
Recommendation requests should be given to two people who are able to provide a thoughtful, thorough and honest assessment of your academic abilities in general and, specifically, the ability to succeed in the graduate programs at The Dartmouth Institute. Please contact your evaluators well in advance to give them sufficient time to write and submit their evaluations by the deadline. After you supply SOPHAS with the email addresses of the recommenders, SOPHAS sends the recommender instructions on how to electronically submit the letter.
College seniors & college graduates within the last 12 months: Two letters of recommendation must come from your professors who can assess your academic abilities.
Applicants who have been out of college longer than one year: Your letters of recommendation should come from employment supervisors and/or professors who can assess your academic and professional abilities.
