Web Submission: Complete the on-line course data entry form.
Upon submission you will receive an immediate e-mail notification that your intent to apply
has been received along with a cover sheet to submit with the required
supporting documentation. Please note: It is not possible to submit your complete
application on line; support material and cover sheet must be mailed.
REQUIRED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION:
- Enclose a copy of your curriculum vitae. Please state your most recent undergraduate GPA (grade point average) as a fraction of the highest possible, i.e., 3.7/4.0.
- The aim of this course is to bring together students from a wide range of backgrounds. At one extreme, an excellent experimental neurobiologist may have relatively little experience in the quantitative analysis of data or in the study of simple models. At the other extreme, an excellent mathematician may know very few of the basic facts about neurons. Please explain where you fit in this broad range of prospective students and what you hope to gain from the course. (Be succinct; half-page maximum.)
- We do not expect you to be a master of all the relevant disciplines. On the other hand, you will get more out of the course if you have made an effort to broaden your scientific background. Please explain what steps you have taken in this direction. (Again, be succinct; half-page maximum.)
- Describe your level of experience with MATLAB programming. (Half-page maximum.)
- Please arrange for two people who are familiar with your abilities to write a letter of recommendation for you. Sealed letters must be submitted with your other application materials to the MBL Admissions Office and received by March 8, 2010.
- Graduate and Undergraduate transcripts are required of all applicants currently enrolled in graduate school. Ph.D.s need only submit graduate school transcripts. If your institution outside the U.S. does not issue transcripts, we will accept copies of diplomas or certificates.
Deadline: Completed application forms and required supporting documentation
must be received by March 8, 2010.
You will be notified of the Admissions Committee's decision by late April.
