3.

• Select your requested major.

• Check the Early Decision box and sign the Early Decision statement at the end of the application (if applicable).

Note: It is the responsibility of each applicant to submit all required information and materials by the deadline and to ensure that the information is accurate. Completed applications will receive priority in the review process. Because of time constraints, it is not always possible for the admissions office to request missing information. When submitting supplemental materials separate from the application, make sure your name, date of birth, and high school name are included on all pieces. Also, be sure to include your current name, if different from the name on the materials.

To help us and yourself, please review the above checklist carefully. The university reserves the right to withdraw, without notice, any application that is not complete by the deadline.
