Finalize List of Graduate Programs You Want to Attend
Purpose: Scholars will finalize their list of graduate school programs they are applying to during the upcoming cycle.
Making Decisions about Graduate Programs
Morphing Lists of Graduate Programs
It is possible that your list of graduate school programs has morphed as the academic year progressed. This happens when you have gathered information on graduate school programs. And, find out more about yourself as a student and researcher.
Reach out to Faculty and Alumni of the programs you are grappling with
Reach out to your network to help you make decisions, and take an active role in obtaining the information you need to make the best choice for you. Email, call, or meet past students who have graduated to learn about their experiences within the program. Contact faculty you might want to work with regarding their research or ongoing projects. More information will give you more direction when you are finalizing your list of graduate programs.
