Your career goals

Briefly describe in 50 words or less your career goals as they relate to your major. What do you want to do after you graduate? What experience do you already have?

You can submit up to 50 words.

Your references

Please give us the email addresses for 2 references from whom you wish to request letters of recommendation. We will send them a web link via email at which they can submit their letters of recommendation for you. Recommendations must be submitted by the application deadline.

We recommend that you let your references know ahead of time that you're requesting a letter from them. A general good rule of thumb is at least 2 weeks notice. That way, they'll know to keep an eye out for the email--and get your recommendation in sooner!

Your references should be faculty within the sciences and familiar with your scholastic abilities, class participation, and commitment to service. You may use teaching assistants as references, but faculty recommendations carry more weight.
