PS Unless the system allows you to individually upload the four following items, you should upload all items as a single document to the personal statement section. These include, 1) A personal statement which briefly describes your professional goals, your reasons for wanting to pursue graduate work in Classics, your particular interests in our program and faculty, and any other special circumstances relating to your application that might help us in making our decision; 2) a list of fall and spring classes that you plan to take for your senior year as an undergraduate; 3) a list of works you have read in Greek and Latin; and 4) a writing sample or sample of work on a Classical topic totaling 20-30 pages, double-spaced in a font large enough to be legible. CV The online application will prompt you to upload a curriculum vitae. Fee Pay application fee of $85. Applicants can pay by credit card online, or send check/money order made payable to the University of North Carolina (application will be processed upon receipt of payment). RL Three electronic letters of recommendation from persons qualified to evaluate your academic and professional qualifications are required. In order to allow for electronic submission and delivery of your recommendations, you must submit the email addresses of your three recommenders during the application process. The deadline for recommendation letters is Dec. 20. Applicants should check their online application often to make sure recommenders have submitted their letters before the deadline. Transcript One unofficial transcript from each university attended must be uploaded within the application. Unofficial transcripts must be complete (not select courses), issued in the original language, and be accompanied by certified English translations when applicable. You should obtain a copy of your unofficial transcript version (obtained from a student account) since “official” transcripts do not scan well. Before scanning your unofficial transcript, please read the tips below: Your scanning software should ask you what resolution to scan your document, either before or after the scan. Be sure to scan at no more than 72dpi; Scan multiple page transcripts into one file; and Check file size and do not exceed 1024kb. If offered admission, one paper official transcript from each university attended will be required. Transcripts of all post- secondary education (including community colleges, summer sessions, and extension programs) are required to be uploaded in the application. Applicants may submit transcripts before mid-year grades are posted, but final transcripts must then follow. If the institution will not release official transcripts directly to you, they may send the transcripts directly to the Graduate School.
