Transcript: Official transcripts from all previously attended colleges and universities sent directly from the school's Registrar's Offices. Personal Statement: Your Statement of Purpose should describe the following: Your purpose and objective for undertaking graduate study. Any special research interests or qualifications you possess. Why you chose to apply to Northwestern University. The Statement of Purpose should be uploaded into the online application prior to submission. Your statement should be 1 to 2 pages in length, single-spaced. Recommendation Letter: TGS requires a minimum of two letters of recommendation. The Graduate School's (TGS) admission committees are interested in letters of recommendation from those who are most able to assess your academic and research abilities in areas related to your field of study. When considering a recommender, give some thought to the following questions: Does the faculty in the program to which you are applying know your letter writers? Will they write fair and thoughtful recommendations for you? Can they speak to your academic research and accomplishments and your potential for graduate study? Portfolio: Your portfolio should be used to demonstrate projects you have worked on as well as to show other material you believe would be worthwhile to discuss in your interview. The portfolio should consist of any printed or documented work that will help make your application come alive when shown to a committee. In the past we have received the following types of materials: copies of patents, catalogue sheets, printed details from databases, product parts, work efforts to include QC reports, presentations to management, etc. We advise against electronic presentations during your interview. Endorsement: A letter of endorsement is required in order to determine that your company understands and agrees to the time commitment of the two-year program.
