You may mail photocopies or fax Graduate School a legible copy of your transcript/credentials. If you fax or send a photocopy, do not send official transcripts/credentials at this time; if you are admitted, Graduate School will ask that you request official or certified transcripts/credentials to be sent directly from your institution(s).

  3. GMAT or LSAT results

    GMAT »
    Request that your GMAT results be sent to the Carlson School MBT program, using code D2N-VJ-88. You need to request by code only if you make a request by mail after testing. Otherwise, you may send your scores to the program electronically without using a code. We cannot accept your copy of the GMAT score.


    LSAT »
    Send LSAT scores to the Graduate School or MBT program. We will accept either the original copy of the Candidates Item Response Report from the Law School Admission Council or a copy of the report from a law school. The council will not send LSAT scores to graduate schools of business. Prospective students or law schools that previously received the score must supply the LSAT score.
