Your first step is to start the application online. In the application, you will answer some questions and upload the documents described below. Once you've completed all components you will submit the application, and can log back into the portal at any time to check the status of your application materials.
As part of the application, we ask you to answer two essay questions. You can either download a PDF of essay questions and upload that form once you've answered the questions, or upload your own document that answers these questions:

If you are currently finishing your bachelor’s degree, we will need an official transcript directly from the school for admission, then a final transcript that reflects your degree awarded once you complete your bachelor’s degree.
