EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

Please attach your academic transcript. Include all institutions of higher learning at which you have earned credit toward your undergraduate degree. If attaching more than one transcript, enter the additional information by selecting the "+ Add More" button, below.

You may submit either an unofficial OR an official transcript. (Note that you will not be able to attach an official transcript to this application, as these are sent to our office directly from your institution. If requesting an official transcript from your school, please select "Submit Transcript" and attach a word document stating that an official transcript is being sent, and email ccmr_reu@cornell.edu to let us know. You will not be able to submit your application without an attachment in the "Transcript" section.)

Unofficial transcripts are acceptable as part of the application process; however, you will be asked to submit an official transcript if you are accepted into the program. (Additional details on official transcripts will be forwarded if/when you receive a notification of acceptance.)
