Transcript: The Department requires applicants to submit one electronic or scanned transcript from each post-secondary institution attended to begin the application process. Applications will not be considered complete and will not be reviewed by the Admissions Committee until official paper transcripts have been received. The deadline for submitting official paper transcripts is 20 January. Curriculum Vitae: PhD and PhD Direct Entry applicants are required to upload a CV (of no more than 3 pages) with their SGS on-line application. This is a mandatory requirement. Personal Statement: You should submit a statement of purpose outlining the particular strengths and interests you would bring to us. Discuss the areas of literary history and the literary forms that your work has engaged and is likely to engage in future, as well as the theoretical approaches that inform that work. (If you are a PhD applicant you should, in addition, outline in detail the kind of dissertation you might ideally write). You should also consult our web site and mention faculty members whose work is particularly relevant to your proposed studies and research. The statement should be limited to 500 words. Recommendation Letter: Two academic letters of reference are required. As soon as you have entered all the referee’s contact information and paid the application fee, the system will send an invitation to the referee to submit an appraisal electronically (using a link to a form). Please allow 15 days for the submission of appraisals. Letters of reference must be submitted electronically. Paper copies will not be accepted. For MA CRW applicants: One of the two academic letters of reference may be from an instructor in a university-level creative writing course. Do not use editors, publishers, or fellow writers as referees. Writing Sample: PhD and Direct Entry PhD applicants should upload a writing sample (with their SGS on-line application) of not more than 5000 words (15-20pp), inclusive of footnotes and endnotes. The bibliography is not part of the required word count.The writing sample should be an accomplished piece of the applicant’s own academic writing, such as an advanced undergraduate seminar paper. Preference is for essays focused on literary studies and criticism. Applicants from other academic backgrounds should submit a sample that demonstrates their skills in close reading and analysis.
