Program Requirements
Personal statement, official transcripts and three letters of recommendation are required. (Unofficial transcripts provided by the applicant are acceptable for admissions screening, but applicants who accept our offer of admission must arrange for official transcripts that show final grades and award of degree to be sent directly by their previous universities to Graduate Admissions.)
Test Requirements
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Mathematics Subject Test is highly recommended and will carry weight in the admission decision. However, applications without the GRE Math Subject will receive full consideration.
Personal Statement Instructions
Please briefly describe your reasons for wishing to pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics and your reasons for selecting Rutgers. Please be concise and do not rely on a generic personal statement. Explain your areas of primary mathematical interest, your past research experiences, if any, and your proposed areas of research at Rutgers, if known. If your transcripts indicate any low grades, you may add an explanation here.
