They’re not required, but if you send one, be sure that you or your recommenders elaborate on items in it that make you stand out. We have no problem reading a resume that's more than a page long. Fee $70 application fee RL Letters of recommendation (3): Fill in your recommenders' email addresses carefully so that they can receive your request and submit your recommendation without delay.

We also accept electronic transcripts from India sent via TrueCopy Credentials.
