The university hope that assessing the program, preparing their application materials and interacting with the university community are helpful steps toward clarifying and pursuing their career goals.
The university invite applicant to view the application as a portfolio of evidence demonstrating the self reflection, research, consultation and planning applicant have already undertaken.
The following are pointers for preparing an application that highlights their strengths in these areas; please note that this is not an exhaustive or prescriptive list of criteria for a successful application.
The university encourage applicant to consider the most important piece of the application to be the Academic Statement of Purpose
Be sure to alert their recommenders that a letter of recommendation is required; filling out the recommendation form alone is not sufficient.
Items that demonstrate their potential for academic success may include the quality of thought and writing evidenced in the SOP; strong and specific endorsements in academic and professional letters of recommendation; past academic performance evidenced on academic transcripts; depth, breadth, and relevance of experience evidenced on the resume, and GRE scores.
Indications of their ability to contribute to the diversity of perspectives and experiences represented in the cohort can be included in many parts of the application, including but not limited to the Personal Statement. Whereas the SOP is primarily oriented to the future, the Personal Statement is more retrospective and serves as an opportunity to provide more context for their application.
This may be worked into the text of the Statement of Purpose itself or take the form of an addendum immediately following the final paragraph of the Statement of Purpose, in the same document.
