both your short-term and long-term professional goals. Describe what challenges
you may face as well as how your previous experiences will help contribute to

Current Résumé

your most recent experience. Please include awards or other recognition you may
have received for work, community service, or other accomplishments. Upload your

Two Letters of Professional Recommendation
Register your recommenders in your online application so that they may submit
their evaluations online. We suggest that you obtain recommendations from
individuals (such as current or recent managers) who have directly supervised
your work and can assess your ability and potential to succeed in a rigorous
business school program and achieve career success.
D’Amore-McKim School of Business accepts the GMAC Common Recommendation Form
in lieu of our online recommendation. Please enter your recommender information
into the online application and advise them to upload a PDF of the GMAC Common
Recommendation Form without filling out our online questionnaire.
Applicants without work experience: Both of your recommendations may be from
your professors.
Academic Transcript(s)
Upload scanned copies of your academic transcripts from each degree-granting
postsecondary institution (undergraduate and graduate) attended. Please do not
submit academic records from your secondary school or high school.
We follow an online application review process so please do not send your
paper transcriptions or certified evaluations to our office unless you receive a
request from us to do so. The Admissions Committee will review your scanned
transcriptions, which are considered unofficial at this stage of the application
process.
Submitting Official Transcripts and Test Results
Once admitted, students will be required to submit official paper transcripts
(directly from each academic institution attended)—or, if applicable, certified
evaluations for institutions from outside the United States from WES or CED—and
official test scores before being eligible to enroll. Northeastern University
reserves the right to revoke any offer of admission if there is any discrepancy
between the unofficial (including scanned transcripts) and official transcripts
submitted.
Multiple Transcripts
If you were a transfer, study-abroad, or exchange student, you must include
scanned copies of transcripts from all institutions attended, even if some of
your courses appear on multiple transcripts. If you are a current student,
please include a list of your current classes even if you have not received your
final grades.
Applicant's agreement
Please read and sign the Applicant’s Agreement attesting to the authenticity
and truthfulness of your work before submitting your online application.
GMAT or GRE Results
Enter your scores and upload a scanned copy of your unofficial test results
as a document in your online application. Please request that your official
scores be sent to us. The current version of the GMAT includes a section for
“Integrated Reasoning.” We accept current as well as previous versions of the
GMAT.
