The Application Process
Applying to graduate school will be one of the most intensive projects you have completed to date. To be successful, you must: 1) decide what area you want to study; 2) decide on a career path post-graduation; 3) research programs to find ones that are appropriate for your career goals and your academic progress to date; 4) create and edit your CV and a personal statement; 5) obtain recommendation letters from multiple faculty members; 6) submit all materials prior to the application deadlines; and 7) successfully interview (either in person or over the phone) for an open position.
