• A personal statement, providing information about your areas of special interest, your career goals, previous overseas experience, and why you wish to participate in the MLB Program.

• Official transcripts from all degree-granting academic institutions that you have attended. All transcripts must include an English translation and an explanation of the grading system used. Please also include an official statement of class rank. If no official class rank is available, please provide us with an estimate of your rank and a description of how you calculated it.
