Be sure to remove your social security number from all documents prior to scanning. Please do not send paper copies of your transcripts.

Recommendation Letter: Four Letters of Recommendation: Two letters referencing creative writing + two letters referencing scholarly writing Please select people who best know you and your work. Submitting additional letters will not enhance your application. In the recommendation section of the application, you must include the email address of each recommender. After you save the information (and before you pay/submit), the application system will automatically generate a recommendation request email to your recommender with instructions for submitting the letter electronically. If your letters are stored with a credential service such as Interfolio, please use their Online Application Delivery feature and input the email address assigned to your stored document, rather than that of your recommender’s. The electronic files will be attached to your application when they are received and will not require the letter of recommendation cover page. If circumstances prevent your recommender from submitting a letter electronically, we will accept the letter in paper form mailed to: Graduate Coordinator, Department of English, Cornell University, 250 Goldwin Smith Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853. Please do not postpone submitting your application while waiting for us to receive all of your letters.
