RE-APPLICANTS

If you applied in the past year, do not complete a new online application. You can simply send us a letter prior to any deadline asking that we reconsider your application. In that letter please outline your professional and academic accomplishments since your last application. Please also submit an updated resume. You should arrange for official copies of any new test scores or academic records to be sent to us. You are welcome to submit new references and/or essays if you choose, but this is not required. You do not need to pay a new application fee. Your reapplication materials can be sent via email and email attachments to iumba@indiana.edu. If you applied more than one year ago, you will need to complete the entire application process again.
