PS Provide details about where you are applying and why. Include your statement of intent, personal statement, and/or proposal that reveals what you are planning to do with the fellowship, grant, job, or graduate degree for which you are applying. Information about the program/foundation is useful, especially if it’s one with which the recommender is not familiar. Your recommender needs to see your personal statement or proposal well before you send it in, in case there are changes needed. Remember, the recommender’s reputation is on the line in writing for you and mistakes or poorly organized proposals are a lousy reflection on the program, not just you. Fee The nonrefundable $100.00 application fee ($125.00 for M.B.A./M.P.Ac./M.Fin./Flex M.B.A. applicants only) must be paid by credit card (VISA, MasterCard, or Discover) prior to submission of your application. RL Three letters of recommendation: at least two should be from ladder-rank faculty (assistant, associate, or full professor); preferably all three. If you have a professional reference you feel is more pertinent this can be the third letter. You may submit no more than five letters total. Transcript Official transcripts of all college-level work completed or attempted after high school, even if all your units were successfully transferred.Applicants are required to submit an official copy of transcripts and degree certificates (in original language accompanied by certified English translations) from each academic institution attended after secondary school. These records should be sent directly from the Registrars Office of the academic institutions you have attended to the academic department to which you are applying. If this service is not available, applicants may also request official copies and send them in the institutions' original sealed and certified institution envelopes.
