GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MOLECULAR BASIS OF DISEASE
Application Process For US Students
Applications must be completed by January 1 to ensure consideration for admission in the
following summer or fall quarter. In some cases, late applications will also be considered.
Notification of action on application is given by April 15th. In special circumstances,
applications from highly qualified individuals will be considered at other times of the year.
Highly ranked applicants will usually be scheduled to visit with members of the department
and be interviewed by members of the Pathology Graduate Faculty in Seattle. Top-ranked
applicants will usually have their travel expenses paid for by the Department.
How to Apply
Applicants must apply to BOTH the Department of Pathology AND the Graduate School of the
University of Washington. Apply to the Graduate School via the Web, and please be sure to
send a copy of that application to the Department of Pathology along with the other required
application material. A copy of the Graduate School's Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program
application serves as the Pathology program application.
Send the Following Materials to the Pathology Department

- Copy of your Graduate School Application

related area.
- Statement of purpose and research interests. Describe you research interests, goals,
and research experience. It is helpful if you identify several faculty members whose research
program is particularly attractive to you.
- Letters of recommendation. Three or more are preferable. These should address the
applicant's capabilities as a potential investigator in addition to commenting on academic or
other qualifications. This program does not provide a 'recommendation letter form' or insist that a specific format be used.
Each letter writer may use their own format, and focus on those areas they feel are important about you.
Providing these letters to you in sealed/signed envelopes for you to include with your application is
perfectly acceptable. The letter writers may also mail their letter directly to the program address.
- Provide a personal statement that addresses the relationship between your personal background and your aspirations.
