Thank you for showing interest in our work. We currently have several funded projects and are looking for students to work with us. Before filling this out please look through our research section. If you fill out the pre-application below we promise to get back to you. Absolute decisions about admissions are only made a couple of times a year so generally speaking we really can't tell you much about your chances until all of the data (applications, recommendations, GRE, etc.) are received.

Thank you again for showing interest, and we hope to be working with you soon.
