Acknowledgement

Occasionally, candidates for admission will make inaccurate or misleading statements or submit false material in connection with their application. In most cases, these misrepresentations are discovered during the admission process, and the application is rejected. If a misrepresentation is discovered after a candidate is admitted, the offer of admission is withdrawn. If a misrepresentation is discovered after a student has registered, the offer of admission will be revoked, and the student will be required to leave the School. If the discovery occurs after a degree has been awarded, the degree will be rescinded. The determination that an application is inaccurate or contains misrepresentations rests with the Office of Admissions, which has the authority to resolve the matter outside the student disciplinary process.

Letters of recommendation: if you are preliminarily accepted, you will be asked to provide two letters of recommendation. You don't need them to submit this application.

As a veteran myself, I just wanted to add a note in here to say thank you for taking this step to invest in yourself and your future. As always, I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
