the school to gain further information from the applicant. 
Approximately 3,200 applications are received annually and take 30 
hours to complete. This application process accounts for 96,000 of the 
reported annual burden hours.
    This information collection is also necessary for the Graduate 
Education Office (GEO) to select its incoming students. The application 
is completed through a single online application.
