Transcript:
As part of the online application, upload a scanned transcript from each post-secondary institution you have attended, present school included. The transcripts must be issued by the registrars office, but unofficial copies issued to the student are fine. Please do not mail paper transcripts with your application.
Transcripts must be in English or be accompanied by notarized translations.
If you gain acceptance into our program an official copy of your transcript(s) must be sent directly to the Department of Physics. The transcript can be sent to this address:
Emory University
Physics Department
Attn: Barbara Conner
400 Dowman Dr., N201
Atlanta, GA 30322
Personal Statement:
The statement of purpose need not be extensive. However, you should indicate your motivation for pursuing graduate studies at Emory as well as the research area(s) and faculty members that you are most interested in.
Recommendation Letter:
We require three letters of recommendation from people familiar with your academic performance or professional scientists in whose lab you have worked.
Contact your recommenders well ahead of time, to make sure they are aware of and can meet your application deadline. Your application is not complete until the letters have been submitted.
You request the letters as part of the online application process, and recommenders can submit them online. You can send requests for letters of recommendations before you submit the final application. If a recommender is unable to use this system, please contact the program you are applying to for instructions.
