(1) Arrange for unofficial transcripts of all undergraduate and previous graduate study to be uploaded into your online application. Applicants who have attended non-US institutions are also strongly encouraged to submit a professional credential evaluation with the unofficial transcripts. If admitted, you will be required to submit your official final documents directly to Graduate Admissions.
(2) If English is not your native language, arrange for TOEFL or IELTS Examination scores to be sent to the department by the testing organization. The TOEFL code for applying to Full-Time Engineering graduate programs at The Johns Hopkins University is C559. The IELTS course ID code for applying to programs at the Johns Hopkins University is 4610 or 110079. Applicants are encouraged to take the TOEFL/IELTS as early as possible during the academic year preceding entrance. If you think you may be eligible for a TOEFL/IELTS waiver, please review the information here.
Under University guidelines, exceptions to the TOEFL- score criteria appearing in the admissions criteria will be granted only in extraordinary cases.
(3) Arrange for three letters of recommendation from persons familiar with your abilities and achievements, especially relevant to graduate study in applied mathematics, to be submitted electronically through the online application.
Detailed information about application requirements can be found on the WSE Graduate Admissions web site.
