Graduate College Application (US) OR Graduate College Application (International)
The application for admission
into the ISU Graduate College may be obtained from the internet.
This application packet will require 1) completed application
form, 2) application fee, 3) transcripts of previous degree
coursework, and 4) submission of recent GRE scores. For international
applicants, the application packet also needs to include 5)
official TOEFL scores and 6) a financial statement.
Department Information Sheet
In addition
to application to the Graduate College, prospective students
must also fill out the Department Information Sheet. This Information Sheet
serves as pre-screening tool for the department to use in making
recommendations for admission. The materials should include
1) completed Information Sheet, 2) three letters of recommendation,
preferably from individuals who can address the applicant's
academic abilities, 3) a statement of purpose which describes
the applicant's rationale for pursuing a graduate degree within
the department of Kinesiology, (4) a curriculum
vitae or resume.
Graduate Assistantship Application
Once the application materials have been received, they will be compiled
into a packet for review by faculty in the Department. Faculty are asked
to evaluate each applicant using all the information available, including
transcripts, GRE scores, TOEFL scores (if applicable), letters of recommendation,
the applicant's statement of purpose, and the curriculum vitae or resume. The
relative weight given to each of these components varies by faculty member.
However, virtually all students accepted in recent years had grade point averages
well above 3.0 (on a 4 point scale), GRE scores of at least 1000 (combined Verbal
and Quantitative) and a GRE Analytical score of 4.0 or better.
