• Completed graduate school application.
• Official transcripts from all universities or colleges and other post-secondary educational institutions (including trade schools) attended.

If you do not list all post-secondary institutions on your application and these are listed on transcripts received from other institutions, processing of your application will be delayed until you have submitted the remaining transcripts. If a college or university that you attended offers the option to send transcripts in a secure, password-protected electronic format, you may have the transcript sent  to customerservice@drexel.com.
• Two letters of recommendation - professional or academic.
  o Drexel University Online now accepts electronic letters of recommendation.  Please access the following webpage for instructions regarding their submission: http://www.drexel.edu/apply/recommend.  If a recommender prefers to submit an original, hard copy letter of recommendation, please remind the recommender that it must be signed and submitted in a sealed envelope signed across the flap by the recommender.
