An official transcript must be submitted for every institution of higher education that you have attended. Transcripts must be sealed and bear the original seal of the issuing institution in order to be considered official. Please be sure transcripts are current and include all coursework from the Fall 2010 term.
3. Recommendations
You must request recommendations from two people who can evaluate your qualifications and whom have interacted closely with you to effectively comment on your academic performance, ability as a researcher, and your teamwork skills.
Recommenders can submit letters through the online application system or can send letters directly to the KGI Admissions Office by using the KGI Recommendation Form.
Admission Interviews
After an initial review, suitable applications are reviewed by a faculty member who will ultimately decide which students are offered a position. Offers are based on the student's skills and preferences as expressed in the application form. If you are considered for a position, you will be contacted to schedule a phone interview with a faculty member, who can also provide further details about the program. We will strive to notify you about the status of your application as soon as possible, and anticipate filling all available positions by April 30.
