The application process requires an investment of time and resources, but careful planning can help you create an application that distinguishes you from the competition. The following sections provide tips to help you prepare your application. Schools will require some or all of the information depending on the degree or program that you want to pursue:

• High school transcript and AP exam scores if applicable
• College transcripts if applicable
• Test Scores: ACT or SAT test scores; GMAT, GRE, or LSAT test scores for graduate programs
• Admissions Essays
• Résumé
• List of extracurricular activities or community involvement
• Letters of Recommendation (2-3 is the norm)
• Interviews
• College Application

There are various admissions deadlines ranging from early action to regular action admissions.  Identify deadlines for the materials and actual application early so that you can take the necessary time to request/submit letters of recommendation, compose an impressive admissions essay, and prepare your application.
