FAQs

• Where do I send application documents?

  

  Most documents will be uploaded through the online system, but if you need to provide additional documents (official transcripts, offline letters of recommendation), please send them to one of the following addresses. Please mail hard copy materials to: Admissions Coordinator Biomedical Graduate Studies 160 BRB II/III - 421 Curie Blvd. Philadelphia, PA 19104-6064 Official electronic transcripts can be sent from the issuing institution to: [email protected] Once the application is submitted, applicants may login to ApplyWeb to see whether transcripts and recommendation letters have been received. Please allow at least two weeks following the deadline for items to be posted to the application.

• What is your transcript policy? Can I submit scanned copies?

  

  All BGS applicants are required to upload up-to-date unofficial transcripts from all institutions attended. For students currently enrolled in programs, transcripts must include Spring 2024 semester grades and Fall 2024 semester course enrollment. If you are unable to get an unofficial transcript from your institution, you can collect information from your online student record and create a PDF to upload to your application. Transcripts from completed programs should show proof of degree conferral. A final, official transcript showing conferral of degree will be required of all accepted students prior to matriculation. Please do not send official transcripts until matriculation.

• How should Letters of Recommendation be submitted?

  

  There is a section on the online application that will require that you submit recommendation requests to those who have agreed to submit letters of recommendation on your behalf. The recommender will then be issued an email with instructions for submitting the letter, and filling out the recommendation form. You can resend this link if necessary through the application portal. While we strongly prefer all letters and forms to be submitted through the online system, there is an option to have your recommender submit your letter offline, in the event that the recommender does not have access to a computer. Instructions and a PDF of the offline recommendation form can be found here.
