PS The personal statement provides you with the opportunity to discuss your career goals and why you think the UIC Liautaud program is a good fit. Guidelines are provided in the online application. GPA At least 3.00/4.00 for the final 60 semester hours (90 quarter hours) of undergraduate studies. Applicants with a master’s degree must have maintained a GPA of at least 3.00/4.00 in that program. Fee The UIC Supplemental application is a brief application where you will pay the $70 application fee and upload your academic credentials. RL We require two letters of recommendation from references who know you in a professional manner and can attest to your professional abilities. Specialized master’s degree programs also accept letters from previous professors who can speak to your academic abilities. You will submit the recommenders’ names and contact information and we will contact them for the recommendation. Transcript Applicants will be required to upload their academic credentials (transcripts/marksheets/degree certificates) as one, single PDF file to the "CRDS" checklist link in the supplemental application. While completing two applications may be slightly redundant for the candidate, it allows us to process applications faster, resulting in quicker admissions decisions.You do not need to have your international transcripts evaluated by WES, ECE, or some other third party.
