Additionally, your program advisor must email their letter of recommendation directly to [email protected] instead of uploading it to the portal. Both the transcript and the recommendation letter must be submitted by Friday, August 14, at 5:00 PM EST. Once we receive these documents, we will contact you to schedule an interview.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the recipient of the action and the specific requirement being asked about.
The question asks about the requirement for the applicant's program advisor.
This focuses the search on the specific details in the text concerning the advisor rather than the applicant.
2
Locate the sentence in the email that references the advisor.
The text states: 'your program advisor must email their letter of recommendation directly to [email protected] instead of uploading it to the portal.'
This directly states the response requirement for the advisor.
3
Compare this requirement with the given options to find the correct match.
The correct action is to email the letter directly to the committee's email address.
This matches the text statement exactly.
