Applicants with high school equivalency diplomas need to submit official copies of the G.E.D. test score results instead of high school transcripts. If any portion of high school has been completed, however, an official high school transcript must also be sent to the Office of Student Admissions.
Letters of Recommendation
Letters of Recommendation forms are included in the Supplemental Application along with suggested guidelines for whom to contact for references. Applicants are required to submit two letters of recommendation. Applicants to the Physical Therapy program must submit one letter of recommendation from a licensed Physical Therapist.
Interviews
A personal interview, by invitation of the Admissions Committee, is required for admission.
