What does a complete application include?

A complete application will contain the following materials:

• Student Application: Includes demographic information about applicant and family, and academic information such as grades, activities and awards, and writing.
• Parent/Guardian Form(s): Includes information from legal parent(s)/guardian(s) about applicant and household, as well as self-reported adjusted gross income. Separate parent information forms will be collected if the student’s legal parents are not married to one another or do not reside in the same household.
• Report cards from 6th and 7th grade.
• Two Academic Recommendations – one must come from a teacher who taught you in a core academic subject during the past two years (i.e., English/language arts, math, science, social studies/history) and the other recommendation may come from a different core subject teacher or a non-core subject teacher in your school.
  If you are homeschooled, we strongly encourage you to obtain recommendations from educators you have interacted with other than your parents (for example, a teacher from a course you took at a local college, someone who has tutored you in an academic subject, an instructor with whom you have done research, etc.).
