Application Process
Please print this page for your reference.
Our admissions process is self-managed, which means that you, the applicant, collect your transcripts and letters of recommendation in sealed envelopes and submit all of your documents -- except the GRE, GMAT, and TOEFL scores -- together with your completed application to the Office of Admissions.
| Step 1: |
Download the application in Adobe Acrobat format. You will need Adobe Acrobat reader installed.
All Applicants:
Admissions Application Packet
Includes:
- Instructions for Applying
- Application
- Financial Aid Form
- Transcript Request Forms
- Letter of Recommendation Request Forms
- Acknowledgment of Application Form
- International Student Eligibility Form (Application form for F-1 or J-1 student immigration status)
|
| Step 2: |
Complete the application and send out requests for transcripts, letters of recommendation, and test scores according to the "Instructions for Applying" in the Admissions Packet.
All documents, except for the TOEFL, GMAT, and GRE scores, should be sent directly to you in sealed envelopes with the school stamp or signature of the recommender printed across the back flap of the envelope.
Remember: do not open the envelopes of the documents you receive in the mail! Opened documents will not be considered official.
