Transcript: Submit your official transcript(s) to: Wayne State University Office of Graduate Admissions 5057 Woodward Ave., Suite 6000 Detroit, MI 48202 A complete academic record includes credentials that indicate all courses of study completed and degrees or certificates earned at the collegiate level. Secondary school records are not required when applying for graduate study. We will accept official transcripts electronically, by postal mail or by courier. Electronic transcripts will be accepted if they are delivered securely from the registrar of the issuing institution directly to the Office of Graduate Admissions. An electronic (secure, certified PDF) transcript is official as long as it is not altered. A printed copy of a PDF transcript is not official. We will not accept an attested or notarized copy of a transcript, a hand delivered transcript, or a transcript that reads "issued to student."

Unofficial transcripts may be submitted for the Office of Graduate Admissions to grant a decision on your application. In this case, temporary admission may be granted pending receipt of your official documents. For the fastest service, you should upload unofficial transcripts directly to your online application. However, you may also opt to use postal mail or email to send unofficial transcripts to the Office of Graduate Admissions. Personal Statement: Writing a compelling personal statement Note that this is a general guide to assist you in preparing a personal statement. Applicants should also review the requirements of the degree program by visiting the program website and/or consulting with program staff to determine whether other information is required in the personal statement. What does this statement need to accomplish? The personal statement should convince readers—often the faculty on the department admissions committee—that you have experiences and solid achievements showing your promise for persistence and success in graduate studies. Admissions committee members may use a rubric to evaluate your personal statement. What information should I include in my personal statement? Include information that gives reviewers a sense of you as a person and a scholar. Display your communication skills and discuss your ability to maximize effective collaboration with the broader academic community. If you have faced any obstacles or barriers in your education or have seized upon unique opportunities for research, sharing those experiences aids in both the selection process, and in nomination for assistantships and fellowships. If one part of your academic record is not ideal due to challenges you faced in that particular area, this is where you can explain any issues and direct reviewers' attention to the evidence of your promise for success in higher education. This is also where you can communicate your potential to bring to your academic career a critical perspective rooted in your experiences. Use the outline below to guide your writing process: Part I: Introduce yourself, your interests and motivations Part 2: Summarize your undergraduate and, if applicable, previous graduate research and scholarly pursuits Part 3: Your academic achievement in context Part 4: Discuss the relevance of your recent and current activities Part 5: Elaborate on your academic interests Essential tips for writing a personal statement Include information that gives reviewers a sense of you as a person and a scholar.
