CV Resume Fee The cost for a SOPHAS application is $135 for the first school or program to which you apply. Once you have submitted all your materials to SOPHAS and your transcripts have been verified, you will receive an email from the University of Iowa which will provide you with detailed instructions on setting up a University of Iowa account and paying the $60 supplemental University of Iowa fee by credit card ($100 for international applicants). Your application will be reviewed once this step is complete. RL Three letters of recommendation. These letters are submitted by your letter writers through SOPHAS. We recommend letters of recommendation from at least one academic reference and one professional reference. Transcript Official transcripts showing all previous undergraduate and graduate work with grades and degree. A note for International Students: SOPHAS only accepts WES-evaluated transcripts. However, the University of Iowa does NOT accept WES evaluated transcripts. Therefore, you MUST send a separate official transcript to University of Iowa Office of International Graduate Admissions.
