Step One requires that you upload a .jpg photo of yourself. We use this photo when we review your files and are thus able to personalize your application. You will not be able to process your application without a photo. If you are having problems uploading an image, please be sure that the file you are uploading ends with the extension ".jpg". Extensions like ".jpeg" or ".jpe" are not acceptable. Furthermore, .psd's (Photoshop), .pdf's (Acrobat), .bmp (Bitmap), and valid jpg files with no extention will all return an error. You must export a jpg file out of any of these formats in order for them to uploaded successfully.

Step Two asks you to complete basic data regarding general information, race/ethnicity, and essays. Please be sure to read this section carefully in order to answer the questions completely.

Step Three gives you an opportunity to review your application. This is what the Admissions Committee will see. If you have anything you’d like to edit, you will have an opportunity to do so at this time.
