Your statement should not exceed 1,000 words and must be written in English. Please be sure to review your final statement before uploading it and submitting your admission application. If you have submitted your application and need to revise your statement of academic purpose, you may upload the corrected version through your checklist if it is before the deadline. After the deadline, no revised statement of academic purpose will be accepted. CV Applicants will be required to upload a resume or curriculum vitae with the admission application in the space provided. Resumes or curricula vitae should include employment, activities, community service, education, and academic or professional honors. Applicants should be sure to review the final resume or curriculum vitae before uploading it and submitting an admission application. If you have submitted your application and need to revise your resume or curriculum vitae, you may upload the corrected version through your checklist if it is before the deadline. After the deadline, no revised resume of curriculum vitae will be accepted. Fee Application Fee: $90 RL In order to apply for admission to the Graduate School, you must supply three electronic letters of recommendation. The letters must be written in English and come from faculty members or other individuals well acquainted with your academic work. Applicants to the Woodrow Wilson School M.P.A. and M.P.P. programs must have one professional letter in addition to one academic reference letter. The third letter should come from a faculty member, administrator or professional who can comment on your commitment to public service. The letters of recommendation must be submitted using our electronic recommendation service as part of your admission application. You will be required to register your recommenders' email addresses within the application. Recommenders will then receive an email with directions on how to proceed. We suggest you register your recommenders as early as possible to allow sufficient time for them to submit their letters of recommendation. You do not need to submit your application in order to register your recommenders. You should not wait to submit your application because of pending letters. If your recommender uses a letter service (e.g., Interfolio) you will still need to provide your recommender's information in the admission application. Each recommender's email must be unique. If two or more of your recommenders use the same letter service, your recommendation letters may be uploaded as a group under one of the recommenders you have registered. This is completely acceptable; however, it will not be reflected on your checklist. The Graduate Admission team suggests that you confirm with the letter service that they submitted all the letters you requested from them. Transcript Applicants must upload a transcript including the key from all colleges or universities that you have attended. An unofficial transcript must show the name of the student, name of the issuing institution, name of courses taken, and the grades received in those courses. Applicants with transcripts in languages other than English will need to upload an English translation along with such transcripts. If you have sealed copies of your transcript, open, scan, and upload them. Transcripts should be scanned in black and white at a maximum resolution of 300dpi and no larger than 10MB. At the time of application, nothing needs to be mailed to the admission office. If you are offered admission and accept our offer, you will be required to have final official transcripts submitted from every college or university from which you have earned a degree.
