Who are the best individuals to use for reference letters?
Ideally, your reference letters should come from professors who know you fairly well from interactions such as research supervision or coursework. You may also request letters from job supervisors (e.g., summer internship or co-op). • Is it possible to visit the department? Once the formal admissions offers have been made, each US student will receive an invitation to attend a special visit weekend (at our expense) that will introduce you to the program. At this event, the students will have a chance to tour the departmental facilities, meet with all the faculty members, and meet with our current graduate students. It is your primary opportunity to gather information about the program. Click here for information about our last year’s visitor weekend program. • What is the cost of graduate school? At the Ph.D. level, there are no major costs to be borne by the student, in fact, each Ph.D. candidate is admitted with a tuition waiver and a stipend. Our stipend levels are more competitive
