• Three letters of recommendation (the names and email addresses of the references are required at the time of application)

• A personal statement describing background experiences, pertinent training, and personal motivation for a career in applied clinical research

When evaluating applicants, the Admission Committee will holistically consider the following:

• Letters of recommendation
• Grade-point average
• GRE general test scores
• Undergraduate and graduate degree curriculum breadth and rigor
• Personal statement and motivation for a career in scientific research
• Personal integrity

Applicants deemed to be the most qualified will be extended an interview for a seat in the program. Offers to enroll in the program will be made based on a holistic evaluation of both the interview and all required submission materials.
