PS All graduate programs require a written statement to be uploaded within your application. Your written statement is a critical component of your application for admission and can sometimes be the determining factor in approval of admittance or financial support. Therefore, your statement should reflect your professional goals, as well as familiarity with the program and faculty at UNC-Chapel Hill. GPA In general, applicant’s with GPAs below 3.0 and/or GRE scores on the verbal, quantitative, and writing sections below the 30th percentile, are less likely to be invited for an interview. CV All graduate programs require a resume or CV to be uploaded within your application. Your resume/CV should provide information about your work and volunteer experiences, research, awards, recognitions and activities pertinent to your proposed program of study. Fee A non-refundable $85 application fee is required for each program to which you apply. RL Three current letters of recommendation from persons qualified to evaluate your academic and professional qualifications are required. You should solicit recommendations from individuals who are familiar with your academic achievement and who can address your potential for success in this particular academic setting. If you have been out of school for a number of years and are unable to contact former professors, letters from other individuals who can address your achievement and potential will be accepted. We advise against using generic letters of recommendation such as those provided by campus career planning and placement offices. Please see the information and instructions specific to your intended program for more information. Transcript Applying is a two-step process. After your CSDCAS application has been received by UNC-Chapel Hill and the CSDCAS application has closed (December 15), you will receive an email with instructions for completing the UNC Graduate School supplemental application. Most information will be imported from CSDCAS; however, you will be asked to answer residency and honor code questions, upload a copy of your transcripts and pay the Graduate School application fee.
