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
    • Resume that does not exceed three typed pages

If a decision cannot be made from your FastApp, our admissions team may request additional information from you, including any or all of the following:

  • 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
