Tips for Potential Grad Students

By Bertha Garcia

1. Do some ground work before applying: the web, word of mouth, emails to potential supervisors, etc.

2. Try to contact a current student in the program and ask for info re: learning environment, opportunities, etc.

3. Reflect on your ultimate career goals and make sure they mesh with the discipline.
