FAQs

• What if my application is missing some of the required supporting documentation?
  
  We will not review incomplete applications until we have received all supporting documentation. You must submit the online application by the stated deadline. See all application requirements for more details.
• Where can I download a copy of the application?
  
  You only may apply online. We will provide printed and printable copies of the application only when an applicant has severely restricted access to the Internet. Contact the Doctoral Studies Program office to request these materials.
• Do international students have to submit a financial support statement?
  
  Please do not submit financial information at the time of application. Please see the Rackham website for more information.
• I submitted my application but noticed that I made a mistake in one of my essays. Can I submit a new document to replace the original?
  
  No. We are not able to switch documents in your application after it has been submitted.
• Do I have to submit a TOEFL score if I have a degree in the U.S.?
  
  Applicants who have earned or will earn a Bachelor's or Master's degree from a U.S. institution (or from an international institution where the language of instruction is exclusively English) are exempt from submitting TOEFL scores. There is no formal waiver required. Please see the Rackham Graduate School's website for complete details on this policy.
• I have taken the TOEFL recently and my official scores may not reach you by the application deadline. Is that ok?
  
  Faculty begin reviewing applications shortly after the deadline, so please make sure your scores are reported to us as soon as they are available.
• What is your institution code for the TOEFL?
  
  Our TOEFL/ETS institution code is 1839. You do not need to include a department code. *Please note: You must use the ETS code 1839 (Rackham Graduate School code). We are not able to access scores sent to the code 2528 (general Ross School of Business code).
• Can some of my recommendation letters come in after the application? What is the latest you will accept them?
  
  Ideally, letters should be submitted by the application deadline but recommenders can submit letters at any time, even after the deadline. Please remind them that their letters should be submitted as soon as possible. Please note, applications are reviewed shortly after the application deadline and missing letters may negatively impact your application. See more details within the application.
• I want to change one of my recommenders in the online system. Can I do this?
  
  Yes, you should be able to log into your account and change the information. Please contact [email protected] if you have issues with the form.
