Checklist

We use a self-managed application procedure. That is, applicants are fully responsible for completing and submitting their applications on time and in accordance with the following admissions guidelines. This procedure lessons the chance of late or misplaced supporting documents and gives applicants more control over the entire process.

• Online Application Form  (You do not need to mail a hard copy if you are completing the application on-line) and (3) Required Essays (See also: Application Instructions (.pdf))
• Official Transcripts from each college or university attended at both the graduate and undergraduate level (in sealed and signed envelopes)
• Two letters of recommendation (.pdf). These evaluations must be completed by individuals who are able to provide specific and relevant information about your intellectual ability, performance, maturity, and motivation (in sealed and signed envelopes).
• Official GMAT score forwarded from Pearson Vue.
• Official TOEFL score forwarded from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for applicants whose native language is not English.
