Additionally, applicants are encouraged to submit a resume, and may submit writing samples if they wish to do so.
International students who are not permanent residents of the United States must submit additional documentation needed for the student visa. Please see the section on international students for policies on international applicants.
Applications must include all components. No component will be waived for any applicant.
The IR Department will not review or evaluate incomplete applications and will not review or evaluate applications for candidates who did not pay the application fee. Such applications will be withdrawn and no admission decision will be made. Additionally, we do not accept late applications (see here for deadlines). There are no exceptions to these policies.
