Answers to your CMCL graduate application questions:



IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR APPLICATION!


Please note that ALL application materials must reach us on or before the deadline to be included in your dossier. This includes transcripts and letters of recommendation.

Please be aware that the application does not give your recommenders access to upload Letters of Recommendation (LoRs) until you pay the application fee and submit your application. If you wait until the last minute to submit your application, your recommenders may not have sufficient time to upload your LoRs. Please plan accordingly by submitting your application well in advance of the deadline!

The electronic application includes upload capability. Please cut and paste your Personal Statement/Statement of Purpose, your CV/resume, and your writing sample into a SINGLE document. Please upload this single document from the Personal Statement area on the application. Please DO NOT attach three separate documents. The SINGLE combined document, uploaded ONCE, is sufficient, and preferred.

What goes in the personal statement?

In your personal statement, you should indicate your reason for pursuing a graduate degree and describe your professional/academic goals. Explain why you want to study in CMCL at IU. Don't be generic. We want to see that you are familiar with our program and the work of our faculty. Help us understand why you believe you belong here. This is your opportunity to set yourself apart from the crowd. Don't waste it!

Please limit your statement to 700 words.

Please Note: Please combine your Personal Statement/Statement of Purpose, your resume/CV, and your Writing Sample into a SINGLE document and upload this SINGLE document from the Personal Statement area of the application. It is fine if you just cut and paste these three elements to create a SINGLE document for upload.
