University of Minnesota Graduate School. These two applications
require their own set of documents.

applications need to be done online. (Please print this page and check
off the steps as you complete them.)
Transcripts from any college or university you have attended. Copies of
original transcripts will suffice.

for all applicants. The Subject GRE can be taken in Chemistry or a related
discipline.

TOEFL scores from the Graduate School Application.
A Personal Statement will be requested on the on-line application. You
can paste this same statement on to the department application. You do
not need to send any hard copies.

get your letters from the graduate school, please do not send us hard copies.

Your application will be reviewed as soon as all the above information is
received and you will be notified when the decision is made. The Chemistry
Department does not send acknowledgments upon receipt of applications nor
will we automatically notify applicants of missing documents. It is the
applicant's responsibility to ensure the arrival of all necessary documents
to their correct recipients.
