Application tips
Use the short answer questions as an opportunity to tell reviewers more about yourself. Share things you would like them to know that can’t be seen through your GPA or transcripts. There will be real people reading your application, so make sure you are being authentic. They will want to get to know you!
Have your recent transcripts available, official transcripts are preferred.
A few opportunities require you to submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher, counselor, coach or mentor. Our letter of recommendation is a form that the recommender will be guided to complete, rather than a document upload. We recommend sending this email request to your recommender as soon as possible to allow them plenty of time to complete the request.
Start early! You may have supplemental questions once you hit submit.
