Special instructions:
Applicants to the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy are required to submit a writing sample as part of their application.
Writing samples should be submitted electronically. Please go to http://www.dlp.mit.edu/admissions/ for further instructions.
Applicants to the linguistics program are very strongly urged to send a copy of a major research paper (a term paper, research report, or thesis). The paper need not be about linguistics, but it should demonstrate an applicant's ability to pursue serious scholarly inquiry.
Applicants to the philosophy program should submit a writing sample in philosophy, ideally of 15-25 pages in length. The writing sample should allow us to assess the applicant's understanding of a philosophical problem, and ability to evaluate philosophical arguments. This assessment is usually easier if the writing sample explicitly engages with some of the contemporary philosophical literature. Applicants to the Linguistics Program are NOT required to complete the Record of Courses Taken in Preparation for Graduate Study form.
Applicants to the Philosophy Program are required to list only relevant texts and authors on the Record of Courses Taken in Preparation for Graduate Study form.
