Because there are so many factors involved in choosing a graduate school, you might want to consider conducting an informational interview at the schools you are considering, apart from the required interview.
After conducting an informational interview, you will be free of the stress and pressure you might feel at the admission interview, so you can focus on asking more specific questions to narrow down your search.
When you decide to visit a graduate school, you should plan for a visit in three instances: before applying; after applying, and after acceptance. Here are some points to consider while visiting a graduate school.
In academic settings many students have become accustomed to having mentors available to them. Not only are there mentors in the academic setting, but they are also in the career world.
Diversity can be a key component of career development process. Therefore, each of the GOALS stages provides useful links providing relevant information to a variety of special populations.
