We prefer professional recommendations from someone who has managed you in the past, typically a current or previous supervisor. If these options are not available, we are open to recommenders who can attest to your professional skills, such as a person who managed you through a volunteer or civic organization or a client. In lieu of writing a formal recommendation letter, we will send your recommender an email with a list of questions. He/she can simply answer these questions through the provided online form. A recommender will also have the option to upload a document should he/she choose to answer these questions in a separate document, or should they prefer to upload a traditional recommendation letter.

The online application portal requires you to upload a professional resume. We want to learn about your professional history from the time you graduated from your undergraduate degree up until you apply. Although we do not have a required format, we suggest using a resume akin to one you would use to apply for a job. Typical resumes we see are one page, although a second page can be used if your professional history is robust.
