The Biochemistry Graduate Program will assemble all documentation.

Initial assessments of completed applications are conducted in March. All students will be informed of our decision no later than April 30th. The Department Admissions Committee will review applications weighing many factors including the applicant's scholastic record, letters of recommendation, letter of intent, prior performance in laboratory research, and often personal interviews.
Acceptance into our Graduate Program is contingent upon identifying and being accepted by a suitable supervisor in our program. Therefore we strongly encourage students to contact faculty members and to visit our department to discuss possible research projects.
The department will send all favorable applications to the School of Graduate Studies for final approval.
An official letter of admission will be sent from the School of Graduate Studies. Applicants may be accepted conditionally before completing their present degree.
Successful applicants are required to accept or decline their offer of admission within the specified time by completing an on-line response form.
Applicants are required to submit evidence of their proficiency in the English language as part of their application. The most common evidence is a score on one of the following exams:
A minimum TOEFL score of 92 (internet-based), 237 (computer-based), 580 (paper-based) or IELTS (Academic Version) with a minimum overall score of 6.5, with at least 5.5 in each section.
