PhD Admissions Qualifications Applications to the PhD programs are considered by a faculty admissions committee which reviews a range of criteria and considers the overall balance of each applicant's qualifications. A strong undergraduate or previous graduate-level academic record is expected. Scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) less then five years old are required for all applicants regardless of academic or professional background. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is required for all applicants from countries/education programs where English is not the offiical language. The minimum requirements for TOEFL are 250 for computer-based or 100 for the Internet-based test. The minimum requirement for IELTS is a score of 7. The personal statement is a central element to the application, as it is an opportunity to explain your commitment to the field of public health, as well as specific program or research interests. Applicants should also include a curriculum vitae (C.V.) or resume. International Applicant Transcript Evaluation Beginning with applications for the 2010–11 academic year, applicants who will be submitting documentation from post-secondary institutions outside of the U.S. will be required to have their documents evaluated by an external credential evaluation agency. Please be sure to only use a credentialing agency that will include a copy of the transcript or marks sheet in their credentialing report. If a copy of the transcript or marks sheet is not included in the credentialing report, the document will be considered insufficient for admissions review. If the credentialing report does include a copy of the transcript or marks sheet, we will use the documentation in the review of an application; however, they cannot replace the official academic records requirement for enrollment purposes. If you are accepted for admission, a final official transcript or marks sheet showing final course grades, the degree awarded, and the date of degree conferral must be submitted prior to enrolling. If you have already completed your degree, we strongly recommend that you request two sets of official transcripts/marks sheets at the time of application. Please submit one set to the credentialing agency, which will be used for the application review. If you are admitted, you may submit the second unopened set in order to satisfy official JHSPH transcript contingencies. AACRAO ECE WES Recognizing that academic records and degree certificates from institutions outside the United States are sometimes difficult to obtain, we urge you to begin the process well in advance of our application deadline. If the last name on the transcript differs from your current last name, please be sure to notify Admissions Services. -AND- Any document not issued in English must be translated into English by an authorized translator (not yourself) and notarized as being true translations of the original document. Transcripts translated into English by someone other than the university must be notarized as an authentic translation. IMPORTANT: A translated transcript is required for the review of an application; however, it cannot replace official academic records. An original academic record from the institution must be submitted. Mailing transcripts and other official documents to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: Official transcripts and translated, notarized transcripts must be sent directly to the Bloomberg School’s Admissions Services by the academic institution, credentialing or translation service, OR they may be forwarded to the Admissions Services by the applicant in their original, sealed envelope. Applicants should not open these envelopes before sending them to the Admissions Services!
