Graduate School Mentoring
If you are planning on going to graduate school, Student Support Services can help you with the graduate school application process. The process of applying to graduate school is tedious and takes some time to prepare all the necessary requirements. Usually, it is advisable to begin the graduation process at least one and half years in advance, no later than your junior year.
Here is the step-by-step guideline to apply to graduate school.
- Choose which programs you want to apply for.
- Plan out the timeline for your application.
- Request transcripts and recommendation letters.
- Take any standardized tests that the program requires.
- Write your resume or CV.
- Write your statement of purpose and/or personal statement.
- Prepare for interviews, if relevant.
Standardized Test: Most programs require you to take a standardized test. The most common standardized test is the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).
Here is the link to the GRE information for 2024: https://shikshalelo.com/exam/
Please note that the GRE is a difficult exam which usually takes at least 6 months to prepare for it.
Student Support Services can help you with the following:
Advising you throughout the graduation application process.
Help /advice writing your personal statement/statement of intent.
Help/advice writing your Curriculum Vitae.
Provide study guides for the standardized tests.
Advice you on requesting transcripts and recommendation letters.
Unfortunately, Student Support Services cannot help you with financial assistance because grants aid is not available for graduate school. Usually, loans are available. However, students can check with the college departments they are applying to see if they offer financial assistance.
