Although it isn’t necessary to have all supporting documents on-hand at the time of your application (e.g., letters of recommendation), it will help facilitate a shorter processing period.
After submission, you will still be able to upload unofficial transcripts or unofficial test scores to the application, but you will not be able to revise the actual application.
After submitting your application, you may check the status of the documents received or processed (i.e., test scores, letters of recommendation), and admission decision through the self-service portal.
