Division of the Biological Sciences
- three letters of recommendation;
letters of recommendation can now be submitted electronically
- official transcripts of all grades received in undergraduate study
and in any previous graduate training;
- official reports of scores from the following Graduate Record Examinations:
- Verbal Aptitude
- Quantitative Aptitude

In addition, applicants are encouraged to submit any relevant supplementary
information such as an undergraduate honors thesis or a master's thesis.
Foreign applicants whose native language is not English and who have not
studied at a U.S. college or university for more than one year must submit an
