Preparation timeline

First Year:

  • Concentrate on exploring your options and doing well in classes

Sophomore Year:

  • Evaluate your commitment to your major.
  • Look at the types of careers that interest you. Do you need more education to pursue them? If so, you may need to attend grad school.

Junior Year:

  • Determine whether grad school is a good fit for you. Look into specific schools and programs and begin preparing for any required admissions tests.
  • Aim to take these tests at least five months before applying, or earlier if you anticipate needing more than one attempt to achieve your best score.

Senior Year:

  • Refine your list of top grad school choices.
  • Start preparing your applications, seeking writing and editing assistance as needed.
  • Reach out early to those you want recommendations from, giving them ample time to complete them.
  • Be sure to submit your applications well ahead of the deadline.
  • One of the best ways to get information about a program you are interested in is to talk to current students, so use LinkedIn or other resources to reach out for informational interviews.

Tips
  • Apply to multiple schools; you should always have at least one reach school, one to one-to-two target schools, and at least one safety school.
  • It is important to keep in mind that just because you did not get into your top school, it does not mean you won鈥檛 get into other schools.
  • If you have been waitlisted, keep an eye out for the other schools you applied to; this ensures that if the school you have been waitlisted from decides not to move forward with your application, you still have another school you can attend.
  • It is okay if you want to take a gap semester between ending college and going into grad school.
  • Note that it is also okay to wait a semester if you want to get into your dream school; however, if you get into another school, it is okay to choose that school as well.
