  Applicants must submit a personal statement in which they describe their background, research interests and reasons for wishing to undertake the desired program. Applicants should also address any academic 鈥榮urprises鈥� in their personal statement.

  Applicants should request references from academic or other professional employers who can attest to the applicant鈥檚 abilities and aptitudes.
