5	Admissions Criteria	Graduate Application Form Submission of an online graduate application form to the U. T. Dallas Office of Admissions. Applicants have two options for online applications. One option is to go to our main UT Dallas webpage http://www.utdallas.edu/ and click on the “Apply to UT Dallas” link. This may speed up your application process by one day.  The other option is to apply on Texas Common Application https://www.applytexas.org/. The deadline for US citizens to apply is July 1 for the Fall semester, November 1 for the Spring semester, and April 1 for the Summer term.   The deadline for international applicants is May 1 for the Fall semester, September 1 for the Spring semester, and March 1 for the Summer term.  Supporting documents for applications are due one month after the application deadline. Complete applications received by the stated deadlines receive timely admissions decisions. However, the Department of Mathematics does review late applications. Narrative (Statement of Purpose) The application includes a personal narrative. The narrative should indicate which degree and major is being applied for and should provide a personal discussion of the applicant's professional background, academic interests, relevant accomplishments, and goals in relation to the desired degree and major Test Scores Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are required as part of the application and are sent to the UTD Office of Enrollment Services. Desirable are GRE scores of at least 350 Verbal and 700 Quantitative, with a combined score of at least 1200. Exceptions are made in some cases, however, when other credentials are especially strong. For Teaching Assistantships, higher standards prevail. Competitive applications include strong GRE scores.  For details, see http://www.utdallas.edu/admissions/graduate/international/assessment.php. (GRE scores are not required of non-degree applicants. The ability to read, write, speak and understand English is essential for success in graduate studies at UT Dallas. If English is not the primary language of the applicant, and the applicant has been educated outside the United States, then the applicant must submit an acceptable Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination score, or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score, or a Pearson Test of English Academic score (PTE). Educational Testing Services (ETS) administers the TOEFL. The UT Dallas school code for the TOEFL is 6897. At the time of enrollment, the test score must be less than two years old. The English Proficiency requirement is waived if the applicant has completed a degree program in the U.S. of at least two years in length. Competitive applications include (if applicable) strong English Proficiency scores.   Minimum scores are as follows: • 80 TOEFL iBT (Internet-based test) • 550 TOEFL PBT (Paper-based test) • 6.5 IELTS Academic • 67 PTE Academic For details, see http://www.utdallas.edu/admissions/graduate/international/toefl.php. Official University Transcripts The applicant must have earned, at the time of enrollment, a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university within the U.S. or its equivalent from a university outside the U.S. Issues of equivalency are resolved by the Dean of Graduate Studies. Competitive applications include strong grades in previous academic work. There is an automatic hold placed on an applicant’s file until the official documentation conferring the degree is received. Once the degree conferral is received, the hold is removed, allowing the student to register. Letters of Recommendation Three letters of recommendation are required. Forms for this purpose are available on the Graduate Admissions website. See http://www.utdallas.edu/admissions/graduate/documents/GradReqRecommendation.pdf. The letters should be from individuals who are knowledgeable about the applicant's previous academic performance and are best able to judge probable success in graduate school. Previous teachers are strongly preferred. Letters of recommendation may be sent directly to the Mathematics Department by the author or uploaded online by the author.   Where to send required documents: Hardcopy Narrative and Letters of Recommendation are to be sent directly to the UT Dallas Mathematics Department at this mailing address: Mathematics Department Mail Station FO 35 The University of Texas at Dallas 800 West Campbell Road, Ste FO 2.610 Richardson, TX 75080-3021 All other hardcopy application materials are to be sent directly to the Office of Enrollment Services at this mailing address: The University of Texas at Dallas Office of Admissions 800 W Campbell Rd ROC11 Richardson TX 75080-3021 Only official reports from the appropriate testing agency are acceptable.
