Admissions
and Financial Aid
Application
for Fall 2009 will open August 17, 2009. The Deadline for applications
is December 4, 2009. Applicants interested in the Physiology
and Integrative Medical Biology Track should complete on-line the 2010
application for admission before December 4, 2009. The Graduate
Education Committee of the department also acts as the Admissions Committee.
Selected applicants will be invited to visit the Program in February
2010. Each student will be interviewed by at least four faculty affiliated
with the Track. The final decision of the Admissions Committee will
be based on a combination of the evaluations of the applicant's file
and the personal interviews.
Application
Policies and Procedures are set by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
We welcome applications from students with backgrounds in the biological and/or
physical sciences. These include majors in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics,
mathematics, engineering, computer science, and psychology. Applicants should
select in the online application "Biological and Biomedical Sciences"
as the "Program of Study" and should specify Physiology
and Integrative Medical Biology as a subfield or concentration.

The
online application can accommodate most of the supplemental materials you will
need such as letters of recommendations, writing samples/abstracts or others which
may be required. Writing samples, abstracts, resumes, etc., can all be uploaded
to your online application so there is no need to mail paper copies. If
one of your recommenders wishes to submit a paper recommendation you should provide
him/her a copy of the recommendation form which is available from within the online
application under "downloadable forms". This form includes the proper mailing
address. You may also download a blank Recommendation Form here.
Transcripts
must arrive in a sealed envelope from the issuing institution. If circumstances
require that you send them in, they must be delivered to us unopened with the
signature of the registrar or stamp of the school across the sealed flap of the
envelope. A Transcript Request Form is available from within the online application
under "downloadable forms". If you use the Transcript Request Form from the online
application, your information will be pre-populated. This form includes the proper
mailing address. You will find additional application information here.
Full
financial support, which includes an annual stipend and payment of tuition and
health insurance is available to students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Funding
for foreign students is extremely limited. Because only a few Yale fellowships
are available for outstanding foreign students, foreign applicants are advised
to apply for fellowships or other funding from their government or other agencies.
