Possible outcomes from FastApp submission may include:

• Conditional admission.
• A request for supplementary documents.
• A request to complete the full MHREL application with accompanying documents.
• Denial.

For the FastApp application to be considered complete, it must include:

• The complete MHREL FastApp application form and the following uploaded documents:
  • An Unofficial Transcript from all undergraduate institutions attended.
  • A resume that doesn’t exceed three typed pages.

If a decision cannot be made from a FastApp, our admission team may request additional information from an applicant, including any or all of the following:

• Personal statement.
• Writing sample.
• Explanations to affirmative answers to any conduct questions.
• Two letters of recommendation.
• Transcripts from all institutions attended, including the transcript showing a bachelor's degree was conferred.

A minimum of a 3.00 cumulative GPA in the last 60 hours of an applicant’s bachelor's program is preferred. Prospective students may earn admission with a cumulative GPA below 3.00 if the other assets included in the application package are strong, such as but not limited to:

• A personal statement that addresses a low GPA or inconsistent academic performance.
• Improved academic performance in subsequent degrees.
• Significant work history since completing a bachelor’s degree.

All applicants must submit:

• Graduate admission application.
• Official* transcripts.
• CV or resume.

*Transcripts can be unofficial through the FastApp process. Official transcripts reflecting degree conferral(s) will be required if an applicant is admitted.

Students are strongly encouraged to first submit the MHREL Fast App. This allows students to submit a much shorter application and the unit will ask for more information or materials as needed. The information below contains guidelines for items students might be asked to submit after completing the Fast App.

Applicants with degrees from foreign institutions must submit transcripts to Academic Credentials Evaluation Institute, Inc. (ACEI) and meet the Graduate College and Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law English proficiency requirements.

• Does the application require letters of recommendation? Maybe, upon request from the admissions committee.
