addresses of those you have asked to recommend you. Be sure that the email address is current and accurate.
- You will be asked to inform us if you are going to waive the right to view your letters after they are submitted. Please
indicate this by answering the associated question on the application for admission.
- We will send an e-mail message to the address you provide and ask your
recommender to visit a web site where they can complete a
questionnaire.
- Your recommender will be informed if you have not waived your right to
view his/her letter of recommendation.
- If you make a mistake on the email address or if you need to replace one
recommender with another please contact Marla Boye at
