Transcript: Your Unofficial Transcripts must be uploaded with your online application. Official transcripts are a University requirement, but are not required for the application evaluation process itself. Official transcripts should be mailed to the Modern Thought & Literature office: Modern Thought and Literature Admissions Committee 450 Serra Mall, Building 460, Room 219 Stanford University Stanford, CA 94305-2022 Personal Statement: Of primary importance, the statement of purpose should demonstrate that the applicant’s focus is interdisciplinary and can be effectively pursued at Stanford. You should suggest a project or two that would provide a sense of how you wish to pursue interdisciplinary study, and why the Program in Modern Thought and Literature is a good fit for you. Although there is no hard and fast requirement regarding length, the Statement of Purpose should be a concise description of your academic goals, no longer than 1500 words. Recommendation Letter: Three letters of recommendation (although we much prefer that the letters of recommendation will be submitted online, we will accept mailed letters when necessary); recommendation packets sent through Interfolio may be sent via email to rmeisels@stanford.edu. Writing Sample: Submit a critical or analytic sample of scholarly writing, approximately 7000 words maximum. Although we encourage applicants to choose writing samples that display their interdisciplinary interests, this is not a requirement. Choose a sample that reflects your best scholarly work. The writing sample should not be a sample of creative writing. Applicants may submit two or more shorter samples to a total of about 7000 words, but keep in mind that shorter samples are usually less well suited to demonstrate your research and argumentation skills. Additional Document: In addition to the statement of purpose, you will be asked to complete a supplemental section regarding your proposed interdisciplinary project. Please answer the following questions BRIEFLY (2-3 sentences for each) to indicate that you’ve considered these issues. It’s of course assumed that your project will change and evolve as you study; this is in no way a binding statement of purpose. (*All three questions are required.) 1. What is the central question you intend to pursue? 2. Describe the need for an interdisciplinary approach. 3. Explain the relevance of your project to at least one discipline or field within which you could situate yourself upon completion of your doctoral degree. Similar issues should be addressed by those not planning to pursue an academic career. Where do you see your project taking you?
