Fee You will need to submit the application online and pay the $50 application fee. RL As soon as possible, you should make arrangements with three or more individuals who are willing to provide letters of recommendation on your behalf. You will want to make sure at least two of these recommenders are qualified to comment on your strengths in areas relevant to computer science. It is also important to seek recommendations from individuals who can make specific comments about evidence of your potential to conduct independent research. The online application process will require you to give contact information for three recommenders. These individuals will be contacted automatically. Transcript The transcript tells us what courses you have completed. It must be official, with the appropriate signatures and/or seals to indicate that it is authentic. The graduate school requires transcripts from each university that you have attended, whether as an undergraduate or a graduate student.
