Admissions - Graduate Application Materials

The graduate application process at Iowa State is "self-managed," which means that you manage your own application by collecting your application, fee, academic records, letters of recommendation, and other supporting materials, and sending them in one package to the university. While the process does require careful planning on the part of the applicant, it has two advantages: it simplifies the application process and speeds processing by the university. However, it is important that you read the instructions carefully at: https://www.applyweb.com/apply/isu/
