Click HERE to access the ONLINE application.
STEP 2: Arrange for additional material to be sent directly to the Genetics GIDP at the address shown below. To expedite this process, you may send unofficial copies of your transcripts and GRE scores. Official copies will be required by the Graduate College to finalize your admission. Additional material to be sent directly to the department includes:
- Three letters of recommendation from people who are familiar with your work. These will probably be professors (or former employers) who are able to evaluate your potential for graduate studies, and one of these letters should be from your research advisor, if applicable. Remember to give your letter writers plenty of notice. Click here to download the cover form for letters of recommendation.
- Transcripts (can be clear photocopies or unofficial copies) of all college and university work.
