Make the most of your application
Check out our Shad application tips and tricks to help your application tell your unique story.
Get a head start!
Whether it’s diving into an essay question or identifying a reference, prepare each part of your application as early as possible.
Save, Save, Save!
If you work on your application over several days, remember to save your application each time before exiting.
Every word counts!
If you exceed the word count, an error message will appear, and you won’t be able to submit your application.
Submit your reference!
Complete the reference section promptly so your reference has time to complete and submit their recommendation before the application deadline.
Proofread and review!
Once you submit your application, changes cannot be made. Make sure your final application is just the way you want it.
Hit the green button!
You must hit the final green SUBMIT button for us to receive your application.
Check your inbox!
You will receive an automated email confirmation after you submit your application. Look in your email inbox, junk, or promotions folder.
Decisions Made!
All Shad decisions will be sent out in February 2026. Be sure to check your email.
