PREPARE TO BEGIN THE APPLICATION

We strongly recommend you obtain and submit supporting documents as possible before you create the application. Although it isn’t necessary to have all supporting documents on-hand at the time of your application (e.g., letters of recommendation), it will help facilitate a shorter processing period.

After submission, you will still be able to upload unofficial transcripts or unofficial test scores to the application, but you will not be able to revise the actual application.


CHECK YOUR APPLICATION STATUS

After submitting your application, you may check the status of the documents received or processed (i.e., test scores, letters of recommendation), and admission decision through the self-service portal.


APPLICATION DECISION

You will be notified of your application decision by email and instructed to login to the self-service portal to view the letter.
