We base our evaluation on a combination of criteria including the candidate's essay, letters of reference, graduate record examination scores and grade point average. We encourage all applicants to visit us, if at all possible. In most cases, funds will be available to help offset your travel costs.

The earlier your application is complete, the sooner we can act on it. Ideally, we should have all materials, including test scores, by early February. Outstanding applicants may be admitted early, but all applications will be evaluated by the end of January.
