Transcript: Applicants must upload an unofficial copy of transcripts from prior undergraduate and graduate work as part of their online application for admission. Official transcripts are required only after an offer of admission is made and accepted. To be considered official, a transcript must be sent directly from your institution to Vanderbilt. Official transcripts can be mailed to Vanderbilt at the address below or delivered through your school's secure electronic service. All other transcripts are considered unofficial. Please do NOT mail transcripts to the department office or Graduate School. Email: CDM@vanderbilt.edu Mail: Center for Data Management Vanderbilt University PMB 407833 2301 Vanderbilt Place Nashville, TN 37240-7833 Personal Statement: The Statement of Purpose is an essay about why you are applying to the program you have selected. Your statement should include information on your motivation to pursue a degree in the program, what you have done to prepare yourself for the pursuit of this degree, and what you hope to accomplish during and after your training. Some programs have more specific requirements for the statement of purpose. These requirements will be listed on the Statement of Purpose page of the application. Recommendation Letter: The required minimum number of recommendation letters is three, and maximum is five. Make sure that your recommenders know you well enough to sell the "you" that exists beyond what your scores and grades might tell us. These letters should tell us information that cannot be gleaned by looking at other pieces of your application. The preferred method for receiving recommendations is through the online process. The recommender’s URL contains a short recommendation form that is only available online. After filling out this short form, the recommender can upload a recommendation letter. You can submit your application before we receive your recommendation letters. If your recommender has some impediment to using the online process, and you feel strongly about using this recommender, a recommendation letter may be mailed or emailed, but your recommender will not be able to submit the recommendation form. Paper recommendation letters must contain your full name and the name of the program to which you are applying. They should be emailed or mailed to an address below.
