Step 2: Prepare deliverables 

Recommendation Letters

Arrange for three professional or academic references to submit letters of recommendation: one from an individual who can attest to qualifications in the field, such as an athletic director or arena manager, and the other letters from an undergraduate or graduate advisor, present employer, instructor in the field of study, and/or civic leader. Letters of recommendation should include the provider鈥檚 relationship to you and their complete address and contact information, including a clearly identifiable professional email address.

When prompted on the online application, request that your recommenders be contacted through the online application process for electronic submission of their recommendation letters. You鈥檒l need to enter each individual鈥檚 name and email address.

Resume

Upload a current professional resume as an attachment to your online application in the supplemental materials section.

Professional Statement

Your professional statement should include your background, experience, accomplishments, career goals and involvement in sports and related activities. Please also address any weaknesses in your application materials, such as a low GPA. 

Upload this document to your online application in the supplemental materials section. Please limit the length of your statement to no more than two double-spaced pages.

GMAT/GRE Scores

The GMAT/GRE is not required.
