You must submit your application fee electronically via the University at Buffalo E-Payment system at the end of the electronic application. RL As part of the online application process, you will be asked to supply the email addresses of two recommenders. Recommenders will be sent an email message asking them to submit an online letter of recommendation on your behalf. Recommenders will be asked how long they have known the applicant and in what capacity, characteristics of the applicant that would be considered strengths and characteristics that would be considered weaknesses. You will be notified by automated email when your recommenders have completed the process. Both letters must be received by the application deadline for admissions consideration. No exceptions will be made. Letters should be uploaded as PDFs. The best recommenders are those who can comment on your academic and professional qualifications; current/former professors and current/former employers are desirable. Recommendation letters must be uploaded as PDFs and must be received directly from the recommenders. Those sent from applicants will not be considered valid. Transcript If offered admission, you must submit an official final transcript from every post-secondary institution attended to finalize admission. If you are a domestic applicant, ask all colleges and universities you have attended to send official transcripts in sealed university envelopes to the Graduate Programs Office, 203 Alfiero Center, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY 14260. UB students may print their transcripts from the HUB system. The School of Management will not request transcripts for UB students. International applicants should not send transcripts via postal mail as additional information will be provided with I-20 materials.
