Download and/or print the Application Checklist. This
checklist is a summary of the tasks necessary to ensure that your
application is complete.
Make direct contact with two or more URM faculty mentors with whom you might like
to work. You should email, write, or phone the people that you might
like to work with, and talk about what you would like to do.
Ask three academic mentors or supervisors to write letters of
recommendation on your behalf. Have them complete the online Reference Letter Submission Form.
Complete the online Application Form. The application form
asks you to write a brief (approximately 500 word) Statement of
Purpose. This statement should discuss your research ideas and how
these relate to the scientific interests of the faculty you'd like to
work with.
Have copies of official transcripts from the institution you are
currently attending sent to the Program via email or regular mail (see
the Contact Info page).
