GRE score submission is optional for our graduate program application. If you submit GRE scores the Graduate Admissions Committee will review them as part of your application.
In general, your graduate school resum will be similar to a resum you would create when applying for a job.
Provide an official transcript from every senior college you have attended. Even if courses taken at one institution are recorded on another college's transcript, transcripts must be submitted from the institution at which the courses were taken. Failure to list all colleges on the application and provide those transcripts will be considered an intentional omission and may lead to the cancellation of your application for admission or withdrawal of your offer of admission.
