SANS Masters Registration Process

The process according to the SANS website. (http://www.sans.edu/admissions/masters-programs)

To apply for admission to the SANS Master's Degree program, the applicant must do the following:

1. Determine that you meet the requirements for admission.
2. Fill out the Personal Information Form.
3. Update and submit your resume.
4. Write the Outcomes Statement and Leadership essay.
5. Create and upload your sample video presentation to Vimeo, providing a link to the presentation.
6. Acquire and have submitted a letter of recommendation or have someone fill out the Employer Recommendation of Candidate Form, either to be sent directly to us.
7. Request that your undergraduate (and graduate, if applicable) institution(s) to forward an official sealed transcript directly to SANS Technology Institute.
8. (Optional) If you will be applying for one or more waivers, include a description of the waivers you anticipate after reading the "Admissions Process - Guide to Waivers" form.
9. (Optional) Submit TOEFL or IELTS scores, if English is not your native language (see below).
10. Submit $100.00 as a non-refundable Application Fee. Applicants should call (301) 654-7267 to pay by credit card

Even though I have previous certs with SANS I didn't want to waive the classes.

The essays were the hardest part of the program. 

I submitted all my materials on April 26 and was notified of acceptance on May 30.

Once that happens you get added to two mailing groups. 

You also get to talk the Toby (your profer). 

You and him will work out a schedule of classes, here is mine in case you wanted to know:

The only thing with SANS is that they did not have a forum for student to talk in. I changed that. If your reading this and are a past member of SANS Master program hit me up.
