PS Your Statement of Purpose should identify your personal and professional goals. You should also discuss your development to date and your intentions relative to graduate study and life beyond Stanford. The ICME Graduate Admissions Committee reads your statement of purpose with interest because, along with the letters of recommendation, it offers insight into who you are as an individual. Your statement of purpose should not exceed 10MB in either a PDF or Word file. Fee The application fee is $125, is non-refundable, and must be received by the appropriate application deadline. RL Three letters of recommendation are required; at least one letter must come from an academic source, however we recommend two. Please have your recommender write candidly about your qualifications, potential to carry on advanced study in the field specified, intellectual independence, capacity for analytical thinking, ability to organize and express ideas clearly, and potential for teaching. Specific examples--that describe such attributes as motivation, intellect, and maturity--are more useful than generalizations. Transcript Scanned transcripts are required to be uploaded as part of the application. You are also required to mail one set of official transcripts directly to ICME (please note ICME only requires one set which differs from other departments' requirements) from all previous colleges or universities that you attended full-time for one year or more. Secure electronic transcripts should be sent to: icme-admissions@stanford.edu or you may mail transcripts to: ICME Graduate Admissions Huang Engineering Center, Suite 053B 475 Via Ortega Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305-4042
