3. Personal Statement

The statement that accompanies your application helps us learn more about you. Tell us why you want to pursue a Masters program in computer science, and why you are applying to our department in particular.

4. Official GRE scores

GRE not required for current Tufts undergraduates applying to the M.S. degree program

GRE scores may be waived for part-time students with five years of industry experience who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Visit go.tufts.edu/engmasters for complete details. If you believe you are eligible to have the GRE waived based on these requirements, please contact gradadmissions@tufts.edu with the subject line “Engineering part-time Master's GRE requirement"

General GRE scores: These scores let us compare the basic skills of applicants from diverse backgrounds. We are aware that: test performance can improve considerably with practice, some people do not perform well on tests, and the verbal GRE is harder for some foreign applicants. Median scores for a group of recent accepted masters and PhD applications (combined) were: GRE verbal: 540, GRE quantitative: 780.

5.Official TOEFL or IELTS, if applicable

TOEFL-iBT scores of at least 90 are required for all international applicants who are not native English speakers (Older TOEFL-cBT or TOEFL-pBT scores will be considered only if accompanied by the TSE). If you have taken the paper TOEFL instead of the Internet TOEFL, your score must be at least 600.

6.Transcripts

7. Three letters of Recommendation

Letters must give a detailed, factual, and candid evaluation of the applicant's capabilities. Rankings and comparisons with other students are very useful. Ask your recommender to follow these guidelines. If your recommender is sending the letter directly, check to make sure the deadlines are met. We routinely find ourselves unable to admit potentially qualified students because their letters of recommendation have not arrived in time.
