The #1 Frequently-Asked Question (FAQ) from Students Who Respond to our TIPTOP Posting
I wish to apply for the advertised PhD Studentship and to do a PhD in your laboratory. My CV
and some other files are attached. When will I know if I am accepted, and do I need to send
anything else?
ANSWER: We are happy to know that you are interested in our program. The first thing we must tell you is that it is
impossible to apply for the advertised PhD Studentship by sending attachments to the e-mail address of the
Physics Graduate Program. You will fully understand why this is so after you have gone all the way through
the correct application procedure.
The main steps you need to follow are:
Familiarize yourself with the requirements for a
complete application. Even if all of your needed documents and materials are not
yet ready or available, you may still begin the application process immediately
if you wish (see below for instructions on how to begin).
If you have further questions at this point, the best way to find answers is to check items
1, 2 and 3 below, in that order:
- Visit our information page for graduate program applications (which has a special
easy-to-remember web address: http://PhysicsPhD.org/ ).
- Our main FAQ page for applicants has answers
to a large number of questions organized by category.
- If you cannot find an answer on either of the pages above, you are welcome to send
an e-mail inquiry to our Graduate Coordinator at
PhysGradProgram
 .
Please note that e-mail correspondence is routinely included as part of each
applicant's file, and is reviewed by our Admissions Committee. You will give
yourself an advantage over other applicants with similar scores and background if
your e-mail correspondence demonstrates that you can read and understand written
instructions in English, and that you have a talent for working independently and
figuring things out. This advice holds whether you are applying to Kent State
University or to most other universities.
When you are ready to begin the online application process, please re-read
this section of our information page and
click on the link at the top, which will take you to our university-wide online
application website.

the second Most Frequently-Asked Question.
