Olin College Graduate Admission & Requirements
- Application
- Application fee
- College transcript: Request that an official copy be sent from the Registrar to each institution where you apply
- Letters of recommendation: Generally you need three, and at least two must be from professors if you’re applying directly from undergraduate school. The third can usually be from a professor, research or work supervisor. Your recommendations should be from someone who knows you well as an individual and as a student. The most important thing is to have a recommendation that stands out and fully convinces the school about your accomplishments, suitability to the program and potential.
- Personal statement (and sometimes a statement of purpose): The personal statement is an opportunity for the school to get to know you on a more personal level. What makes you unique? Do you have any special circumstances or have you overcome any obstacles that define who you are? Your essay should give the committee an idea of who you are and make them want to learn more about you. The statement of purpose (SOP) lists your qualifications. Include why you’ve chosen to apply to the institution and what kinds of research you are interested in, and express what you will bring to the program. It’s usually more tightly focused on the future. In a SOP, you talk about your plans for study in a given field along with your short- and long-term career goals.
- Admission test scores: Depending on the program you are applying to, you will most likely need to take another standardized test
