To apply please provide a letter of intent stating your reasons for applying for graduate studies and your research interests. In this letter please also state your career goals and how obtaining a PhD will further these goals. In addition, each applicant should provide a resume that contains GRE scores if known, graduate course grades (if applicable); veterinary school transcripts should also be appended. In addition, applicants should arrange for two letters of reference to be sent prior to the deadline. Application materials should be sent electronically to Ms. Arla Hourigan, aj96@cornell.edu.
Applications are reviewed and ranked by the Veterinary Research Training Oversight Committee. Applications from internal candidates (DVM students already in graduate training, and track II DVM-PhD students who are due to begin their training) are evaluated alongside applications from candidates applying for admission to graduate school.
