    2. Describe a time when your ethics were challenged. How did you deal with the situation and what did you learn from it.
    3. Describe a time when you had a significant misunderstanding with someone from a different background or culture. How did you resolve the misunderstanding.

Résumé

Transcripts

Unofficial transcripts should be uploaded as a PDF to your application for admissions review. Upload the front and back of transcripts (if back is blank, you do not need to upload the back). You should upload transcripts for each college/university you list in your application. If you only attended one undergraduate institution, you may ignore the second item.

Transcripts for all undergraduate credits (including transfer credits) earned toward your undergraduate degree must be uploaded for admissions consideration. We will not consider your application until you upload all undergraduate transcripts.

In regard to international transcripts, we will accept a transcript issued in English by the university. If the university does not provide the transcript in English, you must submit a copy of the transcript in your native language and an English translation. Applicants who have attended an Indian university must upload transcripts, mark sheets and proof of degree.
