A Data Correction Page appears if you have omitted a required field or entered data incorrectly. Changes you need to make appear in red text. Simply enter the correct data, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click the 'Make the corrections' button.


4. Save/Pay/Send your application.
Check your application carefully. When you are satisfied with it and are ready to send it to the school, click 'I am ready to submit and pay' at the bottom of the last page. This saves your data in its final form and takes you to the on-line payment page.


5. Pay your application fee online
On the payment page, you can pay your application fee by debit/credit card or check (US bank accounts only).

  • If you're paying by debit or credit card:
  • Fill in all information, including the complete credit card number, expiration date, and card billing information.
  • Click the 'Submit this information' button.
  • If you're paying by check: see instructions.

Once payment is authorized, your application is on its way to the school, and you can no longer make changes to it.

Your application is not sent to the school until you pay your application fee and it is authorized (step 5).
