Graduate Applicant Datasheet Form

Please fill in the information below. When you have completed the information, click on the SUBMIT button at the bottom of the form. Your information will then be sent to the Graduate Office. Please submit only one Applicant Datasheet. If you need to make changes in your information later, inform the graduate office through e-mail.

Be sure to enter your date of birth as we will use that to help to uniquely identify you in future interactions. Note that your birthdate should be entered in the format mm/dd/yyyy, e.g. May 4, 1975 would be 5/4/1975.

When entering other dates for which you only know a month and year, enter in the format m/1/yyyy.

The following three entries relate to your Grade Point Average at University 1. All three entries must be a number. The first entry is the GPA basis, i.e. the maximum GPA possible. If your grading scale is based on percent, then the maximum possible score would be 100, which would be your GPA basis. If you received a GPA of 3.57 out of a possible 4.0 points, then the GPA basis would be 4.0. If you received a GPA of 7 out of a possible 9 points, then your GPA basis would be 9.

If you have taken the GRE's, please list the results. If you have not yet taken them, please list the dates you are scheduled to take them. Please enter your GRE scores as percentiles. Scores should be entered as integer numbers between 1 and 100 with no percent signs, e.g. 73. You may enter your scores here and send photocopies or a fax of your score report from ETS in order for us to review your application, but we must receive official scores before you arrive at MSU if you are admitted to our program. It is not required that you take both the GRE Analytical and the GRE Analytical Writing tests.

All international students whose native language is not English, must take the TOEFL or TSE examination. Preference will be given to international applicants with TSE scores of 50 and above. Enter your scores here and send photocopies of your report from the agency giving the exam in order to allow the review of your folder to begin. If you are admitted to our program, you will also have to have official reports of the exam sent to the MSU Department of Chemistry by the agency giving the exam.

If you are not a domestic applicant but from a country where English is the major language, you may not have to take the TOELF or TSE exams. Click HERE to see the list of qualifying countries.

All paper based TOEFL scores will be converted into the computer based scoring system. Click Here to see the conversion tables for the TOEFL Exam. Click Here to see the conversion tables for the TOEFL Section Exams.
