Completing the Application

• Be sure to complete each section of your application in full.
• Beware of hidden character limits (typically 200 characters per field).
• We recommend writing the Motivational Statement in a word processor and copying/pasting it into the application because it has a tendency to time-out and lose information. Save often!
• Don’t forget to choose references who have email addresses. If your reference does not have an email address please use “none@none.com” in the email field and be sure to include a current phone number.  You may also provide letters of recommendation in these cases (contact us about this beforehand).
