Transcript: You may upload a copy of your transcript(s) after you have submitted your application for admission and paid the application fee. After you have submitted your application you will receive an email that contains a link to the Status Check web site where you will be able to upload your transcript. The uploaded transcript(s) is considered to be unofficial but will be used to process your application for admission. Please do not mail official transcripts or paper copies of your transcripts before you are offered admission. Sending paper copies of documents you have uploaded will significantly delay the processing of your application. Instructions for uploading the pdf of your transcript are available on UT Box. Curriculum Vitae: Upload a PDF your current curriculum vitae with your online application. Your CV must include all of the following information in this order. Current university. Degree you expect to receive from this university (IE: BA, BS or MA? Astronomy, Physics, Dual Degree or Other?), and when it will be awarded. Previous schools and degrees awarded. Current Upper Division GPA on a 4-point scale. This is very important since it is what UT will use to determine eligibility for graduate admissions. You may need to calculate this number yourself if it's not on your transcript. Be as accurate as possible. You may find this online tool helpful: http://www.back2college.com/gpa.htm. To determine your upper division GPA, calculate your grade point average for ALL upper division coursework on your transcripts, including any masters work or work from other universities. This includes coursework in any subject, not just your major. Current Cumulative GPA on a 4-point scale. This is the overall GPA generally printed at the top or bottom of your official university transcripts. Current TOEFL or IELTS score (International Applicants Only). GRE Verbal Score. GRE Quantitative Score. GRE Writing Score. Astronomy Area of Interest/Field of Concentration. Will you be attending the annual AAS meeting in January? Awards, Honors & Scholarships. Research Experience. Personal Statement: In Astronomy, an effective essay will be about 1 to 2 pages long with a description of your education and experience as it relates to your future graduate career. You should mention any research experience you have or special projects you may have done in a course, and maybe try to tie these, or other interests you have with a specific faculty member or researcher at the University to whom you are applying. One thing to remember is that this is very different than your essay to get into an Undergraduate program, you have things to cite from your last few years as an Undergraduate, don't spend too much time on any childhood wishes or experiences. Recommendation Letter: You will be asked to list the names and email addresses of the three people you wish to recommend you for admission. Since these letters must be kept confidential, you will also be asked to waive your right to view your letters. Once you submit your application, an email will be sent to each recommender with instructions on how to submit their letters electronically to ensure confidentiality. The letters will automatically be routed to the department. If you make a mistake on the email address or if you need to replace one recommender with another please log in to the status check and make the change. You can check to see if we have recieved your letters via the status check as well. If your professor is unable to use the online submission system, they may mail a hard copy directly to the department address listed on the right side of this page.
