What is the best way to submit my letters of recommendation? Do you accept electronic letters of recommendation?
The most efficient method for sending your letters of recommendation is to have your recommenders email them directly as an attachment (either a Word document or a PDF file) to our Admissions Coordinator, Lucy Neighbors, at lbjadmit@uts.cc.utexas.edu.
