Whether a senior or a post-baccalaureate scholar, you want to make the most of your time as you prepare for the graduate school application process. Here are a few tips to consider as you prepare your application materials.
Plan & Organize: Create a chart to organize a list of all the graduate programs of application. List important contact information within each program, deadlines, requirements, and other important information. Staying organized will help you stay on top of each application.
Read, Revise, & Review: Give yourself ample time to read, revise, and review your application materials. Visit your university’s writing center, or get someone who can give you constructive feedback to read and review your application materials.
Know Yourself: Getting feedback is one way to learn about how others perceive you, but also take time to reflect on who you are, what type of environment you feel the most supported, and what your needs are as a scholar and as a person.
The more you practice this advice, the more you will build confidence during the application process. Think of the application process as a way to celebrate your accomplishments and argue why you would make an exemplary graduate student!
