Transcript: The online application asks you to list all post-secondary institutions attended and to upload a transcript for each. For the application, you may use unofficial transcripts obtained online from the institution(s). If you do attend UNC, an official copy of each transcript will be required. Most students obtain electronic copies of their transcripts from their schools’ online systems and then upload the files to the UNC application website. Before uploading the file, please check its legibility when viewed on a computer screen and when printed. If your school does not provide an online transcript, you may scan a hardcopy but be sure to check the legibility. All transcripts must be complete (not select courses), include grades, be issued in the original language, and be accompanied by certified English translations if applicable. The Economics Department deadline for full consideration for all funding sources is January 6, 2017 for admission in the fall of 2017. If you are enrolled at an educational institution during the fall of 2016 and your grades are posted by January 6, 2017, we would prefer that you submit a transcript after your fall grades are available. Curriculum Vitae: Your resume should list (a) all post-secondary institutions attended along with the dates of attendance and any degrees received and (b) your relevant work experiences/internships by date. The Graduate School encourages you to provide information about your volunteer and research experiences, awards, and other activities pertinent to graduate study. Personal Statement: The Economics Department provides a form for the statement of purpose. Please download the form, prepare your statement on the form, and then upload it to the application web site (Word or PDF). You may use the Statement of Purpose to explain why you are interested in attending graduate school and how your academic program and any career experiences have prepared you for a research oriented degree. We do not expect students to have selected a specific field within economics before entering graduate school, but you might describe some of the fields that you find interesting and are considering. You may also include other pertinent information that would help us understand your interests, your academic background, and your overall preparedness for graduate study. Recommendation Letter: Applicants must submit three letters of recommendation. One from your immediate supervisor, one from a person who can speak to your academic work, and one who knows your professional work and background. Ask your references to speak to your leadership experience and potential and ask them to provide specific examples in their letters, especially of experiences or activities in which they have observed your leadership. Financial Certification: International applicants who are offered admission to a graduate program are required by United States federal regulations to certify that you have sufficient funds to pay for your expenses at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the entire length of your studies. Every international applicant offered admission, including applicants who may receive teaching or research assistantships or other awards, must complete and upload the International Student Data Form and Financial Certification Instructions/Worksheet to their ConnectCarolina Student Center after being offered admission. The Office of International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) will send you information and instructions for completing and uploading these forms in order to document that you meet necessary financial requirements. ISSS will then send you the appropriate documents to use in obtaining or updating your visa once it has been determined that you have met the necessary financial requirements. Supplemental documents: Please download the Mathematics/Economics Course Form (Word or PDF: https://econ.unc.edu/files/2016/05/CourseRecordUNCEconomics-1.doc or https://econ.unc.edu/files/2016/05/CourseRecordUNCEconomics-1.pdf) and enter your mathematics, economics, statistics, and other relevant courses. You may fill out the form electronically or fill it out by hand and then scan to create an electronic file. If you scan the form, be sure to check its legibility before uploading.
