In your application, you will have the opportunity to tell us about yourself in two ways:
The Statement of Academic Purpose (required), which describes your academic plans. Some programs may request specific details.
The Personal History Statement (optional), which gives information on your background.
Each statement is short — no more than two double-spaced pages, unless a maximum word count is specified. No updates or revisions are accepted after submission, so please proofread each statement carefully.
The Ph.D. program in Social Psychology is requiring a Statement on Quantitative and Programming Skills Preparation in lieu of the general test of the GRE.
Once you begin your online application, please review the instructions in the Applicant Statements section for the most up-to-date information.
