Transcript: International students please upload the English translation of unofficial transcripts, unofficial degree certificates and/or unofficial copies of your diplomas. In addition to uploading unofficial English translated transcripts on the online Graduate Admissions website, one official transcript both in non-translated form and in English translated form from each school attended, including community colleges, may be sent directly from the registrars of the academic institutions you have attended (beyond secondary school), or you may request official copies and send them yourself to the Bioengineering Department before the Dec. 15th application deadline Personal Statement: The Statement of Purpose is uploaded on line only. Do not send to the Bioengineering Department. It should specify the research area you are interested in. Your statement is a means of helping us match your academic and research interest with those of our faculty (this is very important if you are applying for financial support as most financial offers are through Graduate Student Researcher (GSR) appointments). It should not be a personal life history; it should contain only such academic details that will aid the Admissions Committee in evaluating your application. Describe exactly what you wish to study at UCLA. “Bioengineering”, for example is not specific enough. State what branch of Bioengineering interests you, e.g., Biomedical Signal & Image Processing, Molecular Cellular Tissue Therapeutics, Neuroengineering, etc. If you possess such a background, write about your experience as a researcher and what you researched, the extent of your research, publications in print, peer reviews, the number of poster presentations you have entered, research awards earned, number of oral presentations, and number of conference proceedings attended. Recommendation Letter: Three names of individuals who you wish to have an email request sent to them to recommend you should be entered on line even if you do not wish to receive a recommendation from an individual or your application will not be considered as completed. The status of receipt of letters of recommendation is posted on the on line graduate admission application as soon as it is received and applicants are urged to check it frequently. Applicants are able to frequently remind those recommending you for admission to submit their letters online by having the system resend the email to those recommending the applicant. Do not have the persons recommending you for admission send their letters to the Bioengineering Department either via US post or by email attachments. For the M.S. program, we recommend that you request letters of reference from professors who have taught you in your junior or senior years. For the Ph.D. program, we urge that all you request letters from academic references as recent as possible. If you have an M.S., letters from professors who served on your M.S. committee are particularly helpful. If you cannot obtain academic references, the letters should be from people who can comment on your recent professional attainments and your qualifications for graduate study in Bioengineering at UCLA. Confidentiality: Applicants are not permitted to inspect or retrieve letters of recommendation in their UCLA files. If you are admitted to UCLA and enroll, you will then have access to your letters of recommendations unless you have previously waived the right of access. All letters of recommendation need to be uploaded into the system by the recommender by the December 1st deadline. Letters received after the deadline may not be considered. Financial Statement : The office of Graduate Admissions at UCLA requires that international admits prove that they have the current amount stated on the I-20 application portal at their disposal for the first academic year of graduate study. According to U.S. Immigration and Naturalization regulations, the University may only issue Certificates of Eligibility (Form I-20) for Visas to applicants who have been offered admission and have submitted documented evidence (e.g. Financial statement, bank statements, letters of sponsorship, etc.) of sufficient funds for their study at UCLA. For more information, please contact the Dashew Center at 310-825-1681 or http://www.internationalcenter.ucla.edu/. These documents must bear the appropriate seals and/or signature of a Bank Official, and must state the full name of the applicant and the amount of the support offered. Please upload these documents during your online application. All financial statements are kept confidential.
