Transcript: A bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution is required to enroll at Columbia SIPA. Please submit transcripts from all colleges, universities, and professional schools attended (including Columbia). Our preferred method is that you upload unofficial copies of your transcripts to the application Web site. When scanning transcripts to upload, be sure to scan the reverse side of the transcripts if applicable or any additional pages that include comments on the grading system used. Transcripts not in English must be translated into English prior to uploading. We recommend using a high quality scanner for this process. Curriculum Vitae: Standard RÉSUMÉ/CV Personal Statement: Personal Statement: (600 words maximum) What policy/public service issue(s) are you passionate about and has personally motivated you to make an impact on the world? Please elaborate on why you have chosen to apply to the MPA in Development Practice program. How will this program enable you to achieve your career goals? Describe your academic and research interests and career objectives. (600 words maximum) Recommendation Letter: Three letters of recommendation. Choose recommenders who, individually or in aggregate, will give the best sense of your qualifications for study at SIPA. SIPA prefers to receive one letter from a professor and one from a supervisor or colleague. Sample Quantitative/Language Résumé: The second résumé requirement provides the committee with additional information on your quantitative and language knowledge and proficiency. This document contains a sample résumé that is meant to provide some guidance on what information will be helpful for the Admissions Committee as we evaluate your application. This special quantitative/language résumé should elaborate upon the skills you have developed related to quantitative methods and language learning（详见https://sipa.columbia.edu/system/files/Sample%20Quantitative%20Langauage%20Resume-2015.pdf） Video Essay: Since the SIPA Admissions Committee does not offer in-person interviews, students must also respond to a video question. You need an internet connection and a webcam to submit your video essay response. Questions are generated at random by the admissions committee and they will be policy-related prompts. You will have 60 seconds (1 minute) to respond. To ensure the authenticity of your response, you cannot re-record your official answer. Thus, you will only be allowed to submit your official video response once. Detailed instrcutions may be found within the application form once you start an application for the current term. Essay: Optional Essay: (No word limit, but use previous essays as a guide) An optional essay will allow you to discuss any issues that do not fall within the purview of the required essays. Please share any additional information about yourself that you believe would be of interest to the Admissions Committee. Please focus on information that is not already reflected in the other parts of your application or might not be clear in the information submitted.
