Admission to Immunology
The program in the Field of Immunology leading to the Ph.D. degree is designed
to prepare graduates for positions in research and teaching, primarily in the medical sciences. The conduct of independent research is an essential feature of training, and a commitment to the pursuit of research is expected.
Admissions Information: Application deadline is December 15 for admission in the fall semester of the following year.
Applications are accepted for Fall semester only. Ph.D. applications are given preference; applications for a Master's program are accepted under unusual circumstances.
A Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution is required for admission into the program. Most applicants who are admitted hold at least one advanced degree and have attained
superior academic standing as undergraduates. Applicants to the Field of Immunology are expected to have a good basic training in the biological sciences and an on-going interest in immunology.
All applicants must submit:
- a completed application with Statement of Purpose (paper applications should be submitted directly to the Field of Immunology using the address below).
- official scores from the Graduate Record Examinations General Test (scores on a Subject Test are desirable though not required)
The applicant should request that ETS send official scores to Cornell University Graduate School, university code 2098 (if required, department code 0608). Applicants should have a combined score of at least 1200 on the verbal and quantitative portions of the general test.
- Foreign applicants whose native language is not English must provide proof of competency in English by submitting a TOEFL score of at least 550 on the paper-based test, at least 213 on the computer-based test or minimum scores of Writing 20, Reading 20, Listening 15, Speaking 22 on the internet-based test. Official scores are required for admission and should be sent from ETS to Cornell University Graduate School, university code 2098 (department code, if required, is 30).
- Official transcripts from all previous universities and colleges attended. These records may be sent directly to the Field at the address below. Class rank is also a helpful measure of academic performance; most successful applicants will have a mean undergraduate class rank in the upper one third of their class. (Please note: the Graduate School requires official transcripts from previous institutions showing degree received in order for a student to register at Cornell).
