Before You Begin

When completing the Cal State Apply application you are prompted to choose between one of two program concentrations (rehabilitation counseling or clinical rehabilitation counseling). Please make sure you fully understand the differences between the concentrations before you begin your application. You can find the information you need on the ARPE website. 

Step 5: Admission to Program

Your program application has been created in a system called Interfolio. For help, refer to this Interfolio Tutorial (PDF).

Please gather the required program-specific documents below and have them ready to upload to the Interfolio program application.

Resume/CV

Prepare a resume or curriculum vitae. We expect that this will at least include your education, paid and volunteer work history, as well as your community activities.

Letter of Recommendation

Request 3 letters of recommendation from individuals who you have interacted with professionally. You will enter their name and email addresses into the program application and recommenders will add the letter electronically to your application in PDF or MS Word format.

Personal Statement

This is your opportunity to supply the Admissions Committee with a verbal picture of yourself as a person. Particularly helpful would be a discussion of your professional goals as they apply to your reasons for seeking admission to the Rehabilitation Counselor program. Please type your personal statement, using double-spacing and at least 12-point font.
