How to apply
Applicants should submit a completed Rackham application online. As part of the application, you can electronically upload your transcripts. We also request three letters of recommendation. As part of the Rackham online application process, you will be prompted to register each recommender, along with a current e-mail address. Recommenders will be contacted by e-mail and directed to a website where they will complete and submit the necessary forms. If your recommenders prefer a paper format, these letters should be submitted directly to the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.
