2. Fall, 2005 grade reports for the self-managed applicationIf you are enrolled in prerequisite courses for admission during the Fall, 2005 semester, delay submitting your application until you can print out a copy of your fall semester grades from your college’s registrar system. If your grades will not be available until after December 30, 2005 on the computer system, then you should provide each course instructor with a form and envelope, or postcard and request that they write your final course grade as soon as your final exam is graded, and mail the envelope or postcard to you. The faculty member must sign the note or postcard. You will then include these notes or postcards in your application packet. You may also fax your Fall, 2005 grade report to us at (718) 270-7592 If you are not enrolled in prerequisite courses for admission, you should be requesting an official transcript from your college now and place the sealed envelope in your application packet.

Spring, 2006 registration schedules for the self-managed applicationIf you are taking pre-requisite courses for admission during the spring semester, you must include documentation of your spring schedule in your self-managed application packet. This will generally be a print out from your college’s registrar system confirming your spring registration. 4. My college will not give me an official transcript in a sealed envelope. What should I do?We have provided a form for your Registrar’s Office to explain that we require an official transcript in a sealed envelope as part of our application process. If your Registrar’s Office still will not provide you with an official transcript in a sealed envelope, you must order an official transcript from your college, and make a copy of the order form. Staple the copy of the transcript order form to an 8½” x 11” sheet of paper, which states the name of your college and the fact that they are sending the transcript to the office separately. Please note that your application will be held until all of the transcripts are received. You will receive written notification when your application is complete and has been processed. You must provide us with a current email address throughout the admissions process as we will communicate with you by email. 5. What do I do if my letters of recommendation are in a confidential electronic system such as Interfolio and I can't obtain copies to put into my self-managed application?If you have confidential letters on file in Interfolio that you are submitting as part of your application, you will request that the letters be sent to us separately from your self-managed application. Staple the copy of the order form to an 8½” x 11” sheet of paper which states the names of the references which are being sent to the office separately. Please note that your application will be held until all of the letters are received. You will receive written notification when your application is complete and has been processed. 6. How will you communicate with me in the admissions process?You must provide us with a current email address throughout the admissions process, as we will communicate with you primarily by email. If your application is incomplete, we will send you an email once a week to notify you about what is missing. If you have sent the missing item to us by mail or fax, you may expect to wait 48 hours from the time we receive it, before it will be reflected in the next email checklist that is sent to you. 7. What happens after my application is complete?After your application is complete in the Office of Admissions, it is sent to the Program Admissions Committee where it is reviewed. If you are to be invited for an interview, the program faculty will contact you directly. 8.
