PS The Statement of Purpose will be submitted online as responses to a series of questions. Hard copy statements will not be accepted. The questions include: Briefly explain your objective in pursuing the master's degree for which you are applying. Describe your background in engineering, computer science, and other fields particularly relevant to your objectives. Include any industrial or commercial work experience. Outline your research experience and list any publications. Provide any additional information you feel would be useful to the admissions committee in determining your suitability for admission to the INI. There is limited space to respond to the questions, so the responses should be concise and to the point. No additional space will be provided, nor will addendums to the questions be accepted. CV All technical and other certificates should be listed in your resume, and the INI will no longer accept photocopies of such documents. Fee Applicants must submit a non-refundable application fee of $65. Payments may be submitted by credit card online. Applicants may also pay by personal check drawn on a U.S. bank, money order or cashier's check for the exact fee amount. Payments should be made payable to Carnegie Mellon University. Money transfers cannot be accepted. RL Submit three letters of recommendation. At least two of these should be from faculty or recent employers. People who recommend you should know you well and be able to evaluate the quality of your work. Recommendations must be submitted electronically via the online form. Transcript Upload transcripts from all colleges and/or universities you have attended at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels, whether or not you earned a degree from that college or university. All transcripts, mark sheets and degree certificates written in foreign languages must be submitted in the original language and an English translation. If admitted and enrollment is accepted, proof of graduation must be submitted no later than the end of July as a condition of enrollment (see “Submission of Package” under Admission). Proof of graduation includes final official transcripts or mark sheets, and will be required as a condition of enrollment at Carnegie Mellon no later than July 31 unless stated otherwise. Proof of graduation includes final official transcripts, and a quality photocopy of a provisional certificate, certificate of graduation and/or degree certificate, and/or a diploma. Failure to provide these documents in the manner requested or at all, or failure to graduate will result in termination of enrollment. Admitted applicants who accept enrollment will be notified how to properly submit proof of graduation. Academic records submitted to the INI before a formal request is made may be discarded.
