2. One recommendation form, filled out by a current or past academic teacher, coach, counselor, etc.

3. Financial Aid Application if you plan to apply for need-based financial aid. Families requesting financial aid should submit a financial aid application by February 15. After February 15, financial aid may still be available on a funds-available basis.
