  • Have all official transcripts translated into English
  • Make sure we also receive the original official transcripts in your native language

  • Provide a signed photograph of yourself (only one is needed)
  • Include a photocopy of your current visa documents if you hold a non-immigrant status

  • Your statement of financial support cannot be older than six months
  • Bank supporting documentation must show the dollar amount equivalent to the financial requirements for undergraduate international students
