Admissions Process
To apply for admission to the graduate program in Psychology, you should:
- Submit an on-line application on or before December 1;
- Send your supporting documents (GRE scores, TOEFL score, official transcripts,
3 letters of recommendation) in one envelope or request to have them sent directly
to UVA. Your supporting documents should arrive at UVA no later than mid-December.
Your application will be considered complete when the following is received:
-
3-page on-line
Application Form
with an attached statement of purpose.
-
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Verbal, Quantitative and Analytical
Aptitude test scores must be taken. The Subject test is not required for
admission. The applicant is responsible for arranging to have the
Educational Testing Service send his/her scores directly to UVA using the
UVA code number 5820. A student's background is taken into account, and
several of the Department's most successful graduate students have had
relatively little formal psychology training before applying.
-
TOEFL scores: If your first language is not English the TOEFL test is required.
-
One copy of official transcripts of your entire college/university record.
Submit in sealed envelopes or your college/university Registrar can send them
directly to UVA at the address below.
-
Three letters of recommendation. The University of Virginia now accepts
online recommendation letters. When completing the online application,
indicate if you would like to use the online recommendation option by
selecting "Yes" in the Recommendation section. If you select "No", return
your letters of recommendation in separate sealed envelopes with the
recommender's signature over the sealed flap. You may send more than 3
letters. If your recommenders prefer to send their letters directly to
UVA, please have them send it to the address below. You should offer our
letter of
recommendation form to recommenders to compose their letters:
