Curriculum Vitae:
Required.
Personal Statement:
A statement of some kind is a required component of nearly every application. The expectations for this differ between fields, so it is critical to read the instructions carefully. Your statement should usually address your past work, preparation for the intended field of study, relevant background and interests, academic plans, and career goals. It should be used to describe your reasons for applying to the particular department or program. This statement may assist the admissions committee in evaluating your preparation for graduate study, and help them understand your academic and professional experience, training, and interests beyond what is apparent from your transcripts, as well the specific fit between you and the department. In some cases this will be separate from a statement regarding your research or academic interests.
Recommendation Letter:
Three recommendation letters.Recommendation letters should be from individuals who have seen your performance either academically or in a professional environment. These can be professors, supervisors and in some cases co-workers.
