Fee The application fee for 2017 (Spring, Summer or Fall admission) is $100. RL Three letters of recommendation that address the applicant’s potential to succeed in a rigorous course of graduate study. Transcript Transcripts: Have your school(s) send your transcripts to you. Do not open the envelopes. We need two (2) sealed official copies of each transcript. Photocopies are not acceptable. We know that procuring transcripts from overseas schools can be difficult, but this is not a requirement that can be waived. We will need transcripts, in English, with the degree posted for every school you attended. If your school does not offer English transcripts, we will need an official (notarized) translation. Some overseas documents will need to be evaluated by World Educational Services.
