PS The statement of purpose need not be extensive. However, you should indicate your motivation for pursuing graduate studies at UNC-Chapel Hill, and the research area(s) and faculty members that you are most interested in. Generic statements of interest in chemistry are discouraged. Fee A non-refundable $85 application fee is required for each program to which you apply. RL We require three letters of recommendation, one of which must come from your Undergraduate Research Advisor or an immediate supervisor if you are currently working in industry. The other letters should come from faculty in the sciences or math, or professional scientists in whose lab you have worked. Applicants are required to provide information about their three recommenders, such as their email addresses, via the online Graduate School application for admission. Each recommender will receive an email with a username/password and the link to the recommendation site. Here they will type the recommendation letter or attach a .doc or .pdf file. Transcript Unofficial copies of your academic transcripts must be uploaded to the online application. Additionally, if you gain acceptance and accept the offer of admission, an official copy of your transcript(s) must be sent directly to the Chemistry Department and the Graduate School. For more information please contact the Chemistry Student Services.
