Prospective Students
Thank you for your interest in my research. Below are instructions for prospective students who are interested in becoming part of the group.
Current/Accepted Graduate Students:
Please send me the following information via email:
1) A two paragraph statement of interest, detailing why you are interested in my research and what particular research problem you would be interested in pursuing as a member of the group.
2) Your CV, with undergraduate GPA and GRE scores.
For reference, I typically look for at least a 3.5 undergraduate GPA, 155 verbal GRE score, 160 math GRE score, and 4.0 writing GRE score, in addition to strong/well-substantiated research interests and good communication skills. These are not hard cutoffs, but if you are well off the mark on every numerical score, I am much less likely to invite you to interview for a spot in the group.
Prospective Graduate Students:
Please mention that you are interested in my research when you write your personal statement.
Current Undergraduate Students:
Please send me an email with a two paragraph statement of interest, detailing why you are interested in my research and what particular research problem you would be interested in pursuing as a member of the group. There are lots of opportunities for undergraduates to take part in summer research. Some undergraduate researchers come for the summer and stay for grad school!
