Applying to Graduate School

Spring of Senior Year

January/February/March:

  • Prepare for any interviews you may have. (Arrange an MITCO Mock Interview for practice.)
  • Complete and mail your financial aid forms (both federal and institutional).

April/May:

  • Try to visit the schools to which you have been accepted before committing to a program.
  • Figure out your financial situation. This will help you decide where you will go to school.
  • Accept and decline offers in writing and/or by phone as soon as you have made a decision. You don't want to loose your spot because you didn't accept and you don't want to hold a spot from somebody else if you have no intention of going to school there.
  • Write a note to your recommenders letting them know where you will be next year!
