OGR Extensive Study Application Instructions

Application Deadline

Follow the instructions for completing the application for admission to the 2012 Opportunities in Genomics Research (OGR) Extensive Study Program:

Carefully complete all parts of the application including the Personal Statements section. If any parts of the application are incomplete, your application will not be reviewed.
After completing this online application, send the following supplementary documents via U.S. Mail to authenticate your application:
- Official copies of your transcript(s) from the beginning of your undergraduate education through completion of your baccalaureate degree (include work from all institutions attended e.g. two-year college). If you will graduate in Spring 2012, a transcript reflecting Fall 2011 will be accepted to review your application, but a complete transcript will be required prior to official admittance into the program.
- Three faculty recommendation forms should be sent from your referees. Only recommendations from faculty at undergraduate institutions or higher will be considered. Two of the three recommendations must be from a faculty in STEM (science, engineering, technology, mathematics). A voluntary, additional fourth reference will be accepted from a non-faculty member as a character reference (non-relatives only). Please download the form and submit to your referees. Upon completion, the form should be sent to us electronically at outreach@genome.wustl.edu. It must originate from the email address of the referee.
- An updated resume detailing your education, work, research history and honors/community service is required.

For best results, please download the application using Adobe Reader (free download here).
