    Please remember the following when submitting BioMedRAP application materials:
    • Addresses, Telephone Numbers, E-mail: The information that you report in the on-line application will be used to contact you December 2009 through March 2010. Please inform us immediately if your contact information changes during this time period.
    • Electronic Reference Letters: Two letters of recommendation are required. If you have previous research experience, the review committee requests that one of the letters of recommendation be completed by your research mentor. Your application will not be considered complete until both letters of recommendation are received. Please make your recommenders aware that they will be receiving a link with an electronic (web) form for recommendations. Due to the numerous applications we receive, you are required to confirm your recommender has received the electronic recommendation request. If your recommender has not received the request please ask him or her to check spam and junk mail folders. If this does not resolve the issue, please ask the recommender to submit the recommendation to Ms. Rochelle Smith at rsmith@wustl.edu.
    • Application Certification Form: Print and sign the application certification form and attach a photograph to authenticate your application.
