How should the application form be filled out, and other material sent?
The application is online and you can upload most of your supporting documents into the application. We receive GRE and TOEFL scores directly from ETS. All of the supporting documents you mail will be scanned into an electronic folder, and the faculty will read this folder. Your job is to construct a folder that will impress the faculty. The main thing to avoid is leaving out key materials, including GRE’s, personal statement, transcripts, and three letters of recommendation (two for MSE applicants) which include the rating table. However, we will still look at your folder even if it is missing some of this information: if you already have 10 publications in major computer science journals, we don’t need your GRE’s or transcripts, because based on that information alone you will almost certainly succeed in our graduate program.
