Recommendations should come from people who will be able to relate specific and relevant details about your performance. Letters from your current employer or supervisor, or from recent employers or supervisors, are typically most helpful. Letters from faculty who know you well can also be useful. Recommenders are encouraged to submit their final recommendations online.

These are the proper forum to discuss work experience, community and professional leadership experiences, extracurricular activities, and accomplishments.
  • A resume detailing your work history, including both full-time work and any substantive internships or part-time employment. Work experience is an important criterion for admission to each of our programs, although the experience profile that has the best "fit" differs by program. Refer to the program descriptions and class profiles.
