Transcript: Unofficial transcripts or academic records of all post secondary institutions attended should be uploaded directly to the online application. Please do not mail in paper copies of your transcripts (there is no need for official transcripts or academic records for initial review). Transcripts are required of all Humphrey School applicants. If you are admitted, the University will then request official copies of this material. Curriculum Vitae: A resume or CV is required of all Humphrey School applicants and should be uploaded into the “Resume or CV” section of the Graduate School application. Please include awards and leadership, service or volunteer activities in your resume. Personal Statement: A personal statement is required of all applicants. In 500 words or fewer, double spaced, discuss your educational and professional experiences and goals. Relate these goals to your personal history and to the programs at the Humphrey School. Upload this statement into “Statement #1” in the applicant’s statement section of the Graduate School application. Recommendation Letter: At least three letters of recommendation are required of MDP, MHR, MPA, MPP, MS-STEP, and MURP applicants. Please request your letters of recommendation through the Graduate School application system. If your recommender cannot upload his/her recommendation online, s/he may send it in a sealed envelope signed across the back flap to the Humphrey School. Faxed and e-mailed copies are not accepted. Please ask your recommender to disregard the application "Recommendation" section instructions for "Narrative" and "Qualities to be ranked." These sections are not required; instead, we require letters that provide an appraisal of the candidate's ability to pursue an advanced degree, his/her experience in, or potential for, public service and leadership, his/her motivation and purpose, and strengths and weaknesses that might affect his/her performance and potential for success as a graduate student. Special Considerations: Applicants wishing to provide additional information to the admissions committee which is not appropriate for other required documents but may be helpful in their consideration as a candidate for admission, should be uploaded as a statement into the “Extenuating Circumstances” section of the Graduate School application. Examples may include, but are not limited to: explanations for grade trends during undergraduate work, time lapses between employment as documented in the resume/CV, or other personal circumstances which may provide additional and helpful context. Diversity Statement: The diversity statement is optional yet recommended for all applicants. The statement should discuss how your background, experiences, and achievements will contribute to the University's goal of promoting excellence through diversity. If applicable, applicants should mention hardships or obstacles that they have overcome to complete their undergraduate education (e.g. low-income and first-generation college applicants).
