Admissions Committee

About the Committee

The Admissions Committee oversees the EEES PhD application and admissions process by keeping the criteria and bylaws guiding the admissions process up to date, soliciting and evaluating feedback on PhD applicants after the recruiting weekend, making recommendations for offers of admission, and distributing awards to incoming graduate students. The committee's ongoing work includes (1) refining the procedures developed this year for future use, especially as regards how it collects feedback from current graduate students, and (2) developing written policies and procedures for interviews that take place outside of the main recruitment weekend.
