At least 3 major factors are taken into consideration. First, the applicant’s GRE/GPA scores play an initial role in the selection of candidates that meet our departmental entrance criterion. Second, a faculty member must nominate the applicant for acceptance into our program after review of the applicant’s file. Our training program is mentor-based, meaning that students must perform research in a faculty member’s lab as a part of the M.A. thesis or Ph.D. dissertation. Because faculty have limitations in their ability to train students, the number of admissions into a particular lab varies from year to year. Therefore, specific faculty members do not usually accept new students every year. Finally, in terms of Ph.D. admissions, the level of state funding for Ph.D. students strictly dictates how many applicants are accepted. The department commits to 5 years of teaching assistantship support for Ph.D. students, and we expect that all Ph.D. students will receive state assistantships. Th

– At least 3 major factors are taken into consideration. 1) We take into account the candidate’s undergraduate GPA and, to a lesser extent, the GPA of any graduate degrees. The applicant’s performance in chemistry related coursework over the years is carefully evaluated. Good grades in upper level courses such as organic, analytical and physical chemistry are considered as positive indicators of future success in our graduate program. The applicant’s GRE score (also TOEFL for international students) plays a role in the decision process. A strong performance (over 550) in the quantitative part of the GRE is considered essential. 2) We look for applicants with a strong grasp of the English language and good verbal reasoning skills and 3) finally, since our graduate degree programs are primarily designed to teach modern research skills and experimental design; we look for evidence of research aptitude and ability in the applicant. We consider as positive indicators application portfolios
