GPA In general, applicants should have at least a 3.00 (B) grade point average, or the equivalent, in undergraduate work. Fee $85 payable online using a major credit card. The fee must be paid before submitting an application. RL 3 (preferably 4) letters of recommendation are required from individuals (preferably, professors or research advisers) who are familiar with your work in computational and applied mathematics or other scientific fields. The online application system will require you to submit letter writer names and email addresses. The system will then send an email to each of your letter writers with a secure link to the online system, allowing them to submit letters on your behalf. Transcript Unofficial transcripts should be uploaded directly into the application system at the time the application is submitted. One official transcript from all universities/colleges attended should be sent directly to the CAAM Department. A transcript is considered official when it is enclosed in a sealed envelope with the official stamp or signature of the Institution across the seal when received by the department.
