Check Out the Program After finding a suitable program, reach out to an admissions counselor. These advisors are there to help guide applicants through the often-complicated admissions process, but prospective students must be proactive, too. Find out about the program and don’t be hesitant about getting all of your questions answered, such as curriculum logistics, time and financial commitments, as well as performance expectations. Before delving solely into course requirements, find out what is needed to complete the application package, which includes official transcripts, letters of recommendation and entrance exam scores.
