Adding your DD214 to the Application

[history_geek]

I have been debating this and talking with some professors at my university about putting my DD214, discharge paperwork from the military, into my application bundle. In my SOP, I stated that I served which delayed my entry into my undergraduate program and delayed my eventual applications to graduate programs. As for the application, some schools say they want any relevant forms to be attached to the online application and sent in, while others are even vaguer and just say attach any important information to the application. Should I send in my DD214 with my applications or not?

Not necessary.  I did not submit mine even though I did mention my service in my SOP. You'll only need it later on if you want to get GI Bill benefits, assuming you have benefits left.  Good luck!
