Obtain unofficial transcripts from each college or university where you have earned a degree or taken relevant coursework. Download unofficial transcripts or scan printed copies.

UW will request official transcripts when an offer of admission is made (international applicants) or accepted (domestic applicants).

Make sure your resume or curriculum vitae (CV) are up to date. The resume or curriculum vitae should include a complete history of your academic and professional work experience as well as any volunteer work, membership in professional organizations, licenses, honors (such as scholarships and awards) and publications.

Identify three people who will write letters of recommendation, such as academic advisors, professors, supervisors, or mentors. Consider asking current or former employers, managers, or teachers. Professional recommendations are preferred. Choose recommenders who can speak to your potential for, and/or commitment to a career in health services management.

As part of the online application system with the UW Graduate School students designate recommenders by providing names and email addresses. The online application system then will email specific instructions to each recommender. Applicants can return to the online application to check whether the application system has received the recommendations.
 
Applicants are expected to ensure recommendations are submitted to the online application system by the deadline.

The GRE is no longer required! However, if applicants feel their GRE scores are a better representation of their academic preparedness for the program than their transcripts, they may include their GRE scores.

If you choose to submit GRE scores, you must self-report them in the online application with the UW Graduate School AND have scores sent directly to UW from the Educational Testing Service using the UW institutional code. Scores from the testing services must arrive by the application deadline to be considered. GMAT will not be accepted in place of the GRE.
