CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

SUPPLEMENTAL FORMS AND DOCUMENTS


In addition to a completed application form, applicants are required, where applicable, to submit several additional supporting documents. These include: STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Provide a brief statement of your scientific and professional interests and objectives. Include a description of your past accomplishments that are not evident from the examination of other documents submitted. If applicable, report on any research in progress. The statement must be written by the applicant in English. It must not be written in another language and translated for the applicant by another person. LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION At least three letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with your academic and/or work performance are required for all applicants. We prefer that you utilize the new Online Recommendation functionality (see Step 5 Recommendations on the online application). TRANSCRIPTS Transcripts from all colleges or universities attended are required. Transcripts may be sent directly from the Registrar of the institution you attended or transcripts issued directly to the applicant, and so marked, are acceptable, and can be submitted online following the electronic submission process. In the "Additional Information" section (page 12 of the online application), please provide an explanation of any nonstandard grading system. Foreign transcripts or records of all courses, seminars, and examinations, including grades, scores, grading scales, and conferrals of degrees, must be in English. All translations must be complete versions of the original records. An official transcript documenting the award of an undergraduate degree is required prior to enrollment in the graduate program at Caltech. COURSE CONTENT INFORMATION In assessing your academic background, the admissions committees find it useful to have additional information about the content of courses you have taken. Briefly describe the advanced courses you have taken in science and mathematics that are most relevant to your field of study. LIST OF PAPERS AND PUBLICATIONS List any titles of publications, major papers, or theses authored or co-authored; if published provide citation. Do not upload the entire document as the admissions committee often does not have the time to read a large file. It is preferred that you either list or provide links or a URL where publications can be located.
