Please complete the on-line application at http://gradstudy.rutgers.edu.
Submission of GRE scores is not required for general application, but is encouraged if you wish to be considered for a Teaching Assistantship. We do not have a minimum cut-off score. You may either enter the Rutgers code for automatically mailing GRE scores, or send a copy of your paper score report to the address below.
As well as the on-line application, you will need the following supplemental materials:
—A transcript showing the completion of a B.A. degree, with a grade point average of 3.0 or better
—Two letters of reference
—A short personal statement about your background and goals
—A writing sample
The sample should represent your strongest work, whether published or more recent. Page limit is as follows: twenty to thirty pages of fiction or non-fiction, or ten pages of poetry, or a combination thereof--ten to fifteen pages of prose and five pages of poetry. Your writing sample should be typed, double-spaced if prose (poetry may be single-spaced), and page-numbered; your name should be on it. You may include one or more complete short stories, excerpts from short stories, or excerpts from a novel or novella. Please do not send more than the specified number of pages.
You may submit your letters of recommendation either electronically or by hard copy. If you are having the letters mailed, provide your recommenders with stamped envelopes addressed to Admissions (see below).
The Rutgers admissions website allows you to see what materials are still needed and when your application is complete. You may also direct questions about admission to Dee Jonczak at (856) 225-6121, email deedalee@camden.rutgers.edu.
