HSOP Program Admissions

HSOP ADMISSIONS INFORMATION

GENERAL
We will only be able to review completed applications. You must also be sure to indicate your intended cognate you are applying for on your application. As transcripts and test scores may take several weeks to arrive, it is highly recommended that you apply early. Admitted applicants will be invited to come to the University in March for the Ph.D. Visit Day, where they will have an opportunity to meet with faculty and students.

DEADLINES AND TIMELINES
The application deadline is January 15. All supplemental materials MUST also be received by January 15 to be considered for Fall admission. The committee reserves the right not to review late or incomplete applications. If you feel that a supporting document may not arrive on time, you should contact the HMP student services representative and notify them of the late arrival. It is the responsibility of the applicant to follow up on the progress of the application using the Admissions website. New students are admitted for the Fall term only. Applications are accepted beginning in October of the year preceding intended enrollment.

COMPETITIVE ADMISSION
Admission to the HSOP program is extremely competitive. We respect and admire the dedication and passion shown by applicants to our program toward this field of study, but space in our program is limited. Please be advised of the following:

We receive 50-60 applications each year from very qualified and talented people. Each entering class averages 4-6 U.S. citizens/permanent residents and 1-2 international students.
Fit with departmental research and academic background for the proposed cognate are carefully considered, as are the letters of recommendation.
Competitive GRE scores are desirable - Our typical admitted student scores are above the 70th percentile in the verbal and quantitative areas but there are few cases of admission below the 70th percentile. Many factors beyond the GRE are considered in the admissions process, and many students are not admitted despite scores above the 80th percentile.
Many of our applicants have a masters degree or MD degree with strong grades, and most have relevant research experience. However, we do not require any degree beyond a bachelors to be considered for admission.
