Please submit your completed application to Juanita Winkleman in the Huang Engineering Center, Suite 141, no later than 5pm on December 4, 2012 for the doctoral program, and no later than 5pm on January 15, 2013 for the master program. We have an early review for all completed grad auth master applications received by 5pm on October 9, 2012. Applications are not reviewed between April and November.

You should include:

  • DEPARTMENTAL APPLICATION FORM

  • RESUME

  • STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

  • TRANSCRIPTS

    Please submit a photocopy or original transcript showing completion of each previous degree.

  • TWO LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION

    from your advisor or other Stanford faculty members. If your application is being reviewed during your first quarter at Stanford (i.e. an early applicant to the MS program), you may instead ask your current department to foward us the letters of recommendation from your original application for graduate study at Stanford.

We recommend that you do not submit the online Graduate Authorization Petition until after we have completed our review. You will be charged a $125 application fee for any submission of an online Graduate Authorization Petition, regardless of the decision.

Decisions will be made by the end of March. We will review completed early applications in November and December, but in some cases we will need to review the whole application pool to determine which are the top applicants.
