RL All applicants must list their recommenders in the online application. For DMA applicants, one recommendation must be from a teacher of music history, musicology or music theory. Recommenders are notified via email and given instructions to submit the recommendation online. You will be able to view the status of each recommendation. If a recommender prefers to submit a hard copy recommendation, give them the Recommendation Form after completing the top portion. Transcript Applicants are required to submit academic transcripts from each college/university attended. You may submit your transcript using one of the following methods: 1.Upload a scanned copy of your official transcripts within the online application (preferred method). A transcript from your school which is marked “unofficial” or “student copy,” or an official transcript which you have unsealed and scanned is also acceptable. However, a grade report from a student portal is not acceptable. Please upload the transcript on the “Academic” page of the application, on the same section where you enter the name of your school. Include any transcript key or guide that your school provides. Scanned transcript must be clear and legible, and documentation for each institution should be saved in separate single file. Non-legible transcripts will not be accepted. 2.Send transcripts via postal mail or electronically to the Eastman Office of Admissions (address above). If you are uploading your transcript, please do not send a hard copy unless requested by Admissions. International applicants: If your transcript is not in English, you must also provide a certified English translation. In addition, we strongly recommend that you have your transcripts evaluated by an organization specializing in foreign credential evaluation, such as World Education Services (www.wes.org) or Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc. (www.ece.org). In many cases we will require this evaluation before you can be admitted, so it is in your best interest to seek out an evaluation at the time that you apply. Please note that the Eastman School of Music reserves the right to verify the accuracy of all transcripts, and to require submission of official documentation at any point in the admissions review process. Official hard copies of final transcripts will be required for students who ultimately enroll. Offers of admission are contingent on receipt upon receipt of final official transcripts
