Graduate Admissions for Current Stanford Graduate Students

Please submit your completed application to Juanita Winkleman in Terman 308 no later than December 1, 2009 for the doctoral program, and no later than January 5, 2010 for the master program. We have an early review for all completed grad auth master applications received by October 27, 2009. Applications are not reviewed between April and November.

You should include:

  • DEPARTMENTAL APPLICATION FORM

  • RESUME

  • STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

  • TRANSCRIPTS.

    Please submit a photocopy or original transcript showing completion of each previous degree.

  • TWO

    LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

    (pdf)

    from your advisor or other Stanford faculty members. If your application is being reviewed during your first quarter at Stanford, you may instead ask your current department to foward us the letters of recommendation from your original application for graduate study at Stanford.

We recommend that you do not submit the online Graduate Authorization Petition until after we have completed our review. You will be charged a $125 application fee for any submission of an online Graduate Authorization Petition, regardless of the decision.

Decisions will be made by the end of March. We will review completed early applications in November and December, but in some cases we will need to review the whole application pool to determine which are the top applicants.
