  • Note on Letter of Recommendation

    We recognize that, especially for first-year students, it can be difficult to obtain a letter of recommendation. Submitting a letter is not required, and choosing not to include one will not negatively impact your application (whether you are a freshman or otherwise). FURTHERMORE: If your recommender prefers to keep the letter confidential, they may submit it directly to us at jasc@iscdc.org. Please ask them to include your full name in the email subject line (e.g., John Doe - Letter of Recommendation) and your email address in the body of the message.
