To begin your application, you must create an account with a valid email address and a password. The application does not need to be completed in one sitting. You can save your work and come back to the application at any time up to the stated deadline. System-generated email reminders and confirmations may get caught in your school’s spam filter. When creating your account, please use a personal email address and not one associated with your high school!

You will designate individuals to submit official transcripts (including your ACT/SAT scores) and directed recommendations on your behalf. Verification of eligibility from either your school principal or district superintendent is also required.

You can monitor the progress of requests to provide information and will receive a system-generated email when each of your third-party requests is completed. Third parties will receive a system-generated email requesting specific information. They will click on a link provided in the email and will not be required to create an account or to log in.*

Your transcript (and official ACT/SAT score reports if your scores are not documented on your transcript) must be uploaded in .pdf format.** All other information must be input via text box. If cutting and pasting from an existing document, save as plain text first for best results.

You will receive a system-generated email when your application is successfully submitted.

You are responsible for ensuring that all information, including that requested from third parties (e.g. your transcript, verification of your eligibility and your directed recommendations), is submitted via the online portal by the stated deadline. Incomplete applications, including those missing any information you requested from a third party, will not be forwarded to the selection committee and will not be considered.

*Schools having trouble receiving emails should have their IT departments whitelist system-generated email by following this article.

** We recognize that you may have online access to your most recent standardized test scores before your school does. To document a more recent score, an official score report from ACT or SAT must be uploaded in .pdf format along with your transcript.
