Qualification Requirements
We do require the TOEFL or IELTS for applicants from countries where English is not the first language. Test scores must be submitted from ETS by the deadline. It is important for students applying to this program from outside the United States to realize that funding for overseas students is very limited, and thus the application process is extremely competitive.
All aspects of the application are important to us. We expect that all of our applicants will have had significant research experience. Please include specific information about your research experience in your personal statement. Please also be sure to ask at least one of your research mentors to provide a letter of recommendation, preferably, that should be the person who has been your mentor in your most recent research endeavor. Research experience, publications, and letters of recommendation play an important role in the selection process.
