Include information about what you hope to achieve while in the program and why a career in healthcare administration is motivational and meaningful to you. GPA Applicants must have earned their degree with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. Consideration will be made for applicants meeting this 3.0 GPA over the last 60 hours taken in their undergraduate course work.For international applicants who attended an institution that did not use a 4.0 GPA scale, transcripts will be evaluated by University of Utah International Admissions officers. Your GPA will be converted to a 4.0-scale equivalent after you submit your application. A third-party transcript evaluation is not required. CV Please prepare a business resume that includes your employment history in reverse chronological order, with titles, dates, and whether you worked part-time or full-time. Your educational record should also be in reverse chronological order and should indicate dates of attendance and degree(s) earned. Other information appropriate to a business resume is welcomed and encouraged. Please make sure your resume is updated and specific for this application. Fee When you are ready to submit your application, you will be directed through a payment process. The application fee is $55 and may be paid via credit card or check. Please note that if you choose to pay by check, your application will not be reviewed until the payment is received. RL Two letters of recommendation are required for the application, and it is preferred that they both come from professional relationships. At least one should come from a previous or current employer, either from full-time employment or an internship. The title or status of those you select is not necessarily important. What does matter is how closely your letter writers have worked with you and whether they can attest to your ability to add value to the workplace or professional team environment.The best letters of recommendation will provide insight and actual examples of your potential to succeed in a competitive and challenging environment. When selecting your references, here are a few more points to consider:Choose someone who knows you well. It’s a definite red flag when a recommender responds “fairly well” or “not well” to the question about how well they know you.You are responsible for ensuring that both recommendations are submitted before the application deadline.References of a personal or social nature are strongly discouraged.All recommendations must be submitted online. You will be asked to supply the contact information, including email addresses, for your recommenders on the online application. Your recommender will then be sent a link to an online recommendation form. In addition to completing the form, your recommender will have the opportunity to cut and paste or upload a letter of recommendation.You may log in to your application to check the status of your recommendations, as well as send a reminder to your recommender to complete the online recommendation form. You may also change your recommenders in this section. Transcript The online application will ask you to list in chronological order all colleges and universities attended, including the University of Utah, regardless of length of attendance. Include each college you have taken courses from, including concurrent enrollment, study abroad, correspondence courses, etc.You will then be asked to upload an unofficial transcript for each institution of higher education you have listed, regardless of length of attendance (this includes the University of Utah). These unofficial transcripts must be submitted separately, meaning notation of accepted transfer credit does not replace the need for an unofficial transcript from the university where credits were transferred from. Your application will not be considered complete until all unofficial transcripts have been received, so please attach unofficial transcripts for each institution of higher education you have attended before submitting your application.Electronic copies of your unofficial transcripts should be submitted online with your application. We do not require official transcripts at the application stage. Please do not mail hard copies of your transcripts.
