RECOMMENDATIONS

We do not accept recommendations and other documents from Interfolio.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

A statement of purpose should briefly describe what brought you to pursue an advanced education degree in your chosen field, how you view the future of your intended field of study and what you plan to do with your degree. You may include any other information that you feel might help the admission committee learn more about you.

RESUMÉ

The most recent copy of your resume should be uploaded in your application.

TRANSCRIPTS

Applicants submitting an application through a Centralized Application System must meet the transcript requirements set by the service (typically official transcripts sent directly from the Registrar’s Office).

Applicants submitting an application via Northeastern’s ApplyYourself system should follow these guidelines:

• Applicants may upload a scanned version of their official transcript when submitting the online application. Those transcripts will be considered unofficial and will fulfill the transcript requirement.
• Web-based transcripts or printouts from the applicant’s student account are not accepted as unofficial transcripts.
• Applicants will continue to have the option to submit official transcripts, however official transcripts will only be required when a student is accepted into a program.
• Applicants should list the college from which they received their BS/BA under Institution 1 in the Education Information section of the application.
