Due to a security feature, this form doesn’t have the capacity to save and must be completed in one sitting. We do ask the students upload two recommendation letters and their transcripts with their social security number blacked out. We accept files that are PDFs, JPG and Word Documents.  Since the form must be completed in one sitting, we are recommending the student type out their essays in Microsoft Word, an email, or some similar program which could be copied and pasted it into the essay box.
