Transcript:
Official transcripts are required from each institution where the applicant did prior academic work. Applicants are required to scan their official transcripts into the graduate school application. Paper transcripts or electronic transcripts will not be accepted during the application process. If an institution does not issue official transcripts, a letter from an administrator of the institution should be scanned into the application instead. The letter should include: (a) year of admission, (b) number of years enrolled at the institution, (c) reference to the quality of work (analysis of grading system), (d) evidence that examinations were passed, (e) diploma certifying degree, class and year, and (f) General Certificate of Education or equivalent.
Personal Statement:
The statement is your opportunity to tell us about your goals in pursuing graduate studies and about your specific interest areas. It helps us to understand the mix of interests in our pool of applicants and to learn more about your preparation for graduate work. Avoid overly enthusiastic, very general statements that give us little insight into your accomplishments or motivation. A concise statement about your experience and future goals that is backed by other elements of the application is most effective
Recommendation Letter:
All applicants, whether requesting financial aid or not, must have three letters of recommendation. Recommendations are submitted online to the Graduate School as part of the application process.
