Other requirements

General requirements

All faculty members from each of our research groups meet to consider all applications. They look at: (1) undergraduate preparation (including overall GPA, GPA trajectory, and rigor of courses), (2) letters of recommendation, (3) GRE test scores, (4) personal statement, and, if appropriate, (5) proof of language proficiency.

No single factor outweighs the others; rather each group attempts to arrive at a "balanced" assessment of academic and professional promise. Please contact professors ahead of the application deadline to discuss your interests, their research group's current projects and availability for new student recruits.
