CV/ Resume

Applicants must have earned the equivalent of a four-year bachelor's degree. If a four-year degree has not been earned, this requirement may be satisfied through the undergraduate school to supplement previous college-level coursework, or with a graduate-level program of at least one year.

You must upload a scanned official copy of all previous degrees/diplomas and transcripts issued in the original language with a literal English translation. If you have already earned your degree, and your transcript does not state that the degree was conferred, please also upload a copy of your degree certificate.

Letters of recommendation are required to be from academic and/ or professional references.

Your personal statement is your opportunity to tell us about who you are beyond your academic background and grades. Your statement should address the following questions: Tell us your personal narrative - your story of why you're pursuing IO and what brought you to this point. What are your reasons for undertaking graduate study at University of Maryland's MPS IO program? What do you plan to do with this degree? What life experiences have prepared you to pursue a graduate degree at a large, diverse institution, such as UMD? You may care to include things like your community and family background, whether you are the first person in your family to pursue a higher education, or other factors that you feel would contribute to the diversity of our academic community. You may also wish to give the graduate admissions committee some examples of your determination to pursue your goals, your initiative and ability to develop ideas, and/ or your capacity for working through problems independently as well as within a team.
