研究生/专业学校的申请截止日期因学校而异, and there are a lot of application materials to prepare. 进入研究生/专业学校的第一步是按时提交申请.

When to Start?

  • Start early. 至少在你计划开始研究生或专业学校的学期前一年开始你的搜索.
  • Do your research. Early in the process, 探索你想要的职业选择和道路,以帮助确定哪些项目最适合你. Check out the Grad School Exploration Worksheet (PDF) to get started!
  • Be aware of the deadlines. 每所学校都有自己的要求和截止日期. 了解你正在考虑的每一所学校的这些日期是至关重要的.
  • Stay in contact with your references. 你的申请中一个重要的部分是你的推荐信和, because you are relying on others to write these, be sure they are informed well ahead of time.
  • Come meet Career Advisors at Career Services. 我们可以帮助您开发和加强您的申请材料, so they are ready to go before your applications are due.

Schools will have different deadlines and requirements. The following timeline is a general suggestion.

  • By summer before the year you are planning to start graduate school, 开始认真考虑研究生或专业学校是否适合你, and which programs would help you further your career goals.
  • By August of the year before you plan to start graduate/professional school, 开始你的搜索,缩小你的选择,以符合你的目标的学校. 密切关注你当前名单上每所学校的申请截止日期.
  • By September of the year before you plan to start, 有你想申请的学校名单,并与这些学校的教师取得联系吗. 你还应该充分了解你名单上的每一所学校的要求和截止日期. Additionally, 了解研究生/专业学校入学考试的时间和地点. Begin developing your application materials.
  • By October, 你应该已经选定了最终申请的学校,并且正在最终确定你所有的申请材料. 大多数学校的申请截止日期是11月到次年2月, 但有些学校的申请截止日期早在10月份.
  • By November, have all your applications ready for submission.

Find a Program

  1. What is my purpose in attending graduate/professional school?
    • 你应该有一个明确的理由去读研究生或专业学校,这符合你的目标.
    • 如果你发现拥有一个研究生学位会让你在你的领域更加相关,并且符合你的职业目标,那么读研究生作为一个“后备计划”或因为失业是唯一的好理由.
    • For more information about graduate school, visit the U of I College of Graduate Studies.
  2. Do the people in my relevant network of contacts (e.g., professors, family, (你所在领域的专业人士)认为研究生/专业学校会对我有益?
    • 利用你已经建立的关系网来帮助研究和确定这是否是对你和你的职业道路最好的方向.
  3. 在这个时候,读研究生/专业学校对我来说是正确的决定吗?
    • 重要的是要设置你的优先级,了解你会得到什么,你可能会放弃什么,以参加研究生或专业学校. Knowing your goals, values and alternatives, and taking them into consideration as you make your decision, will give you the clarity and understanding to make an informed, correct and lasting choice.
  4. 我对哪个专业感兴趣?这个专业对我的职业规划最有帮助吗?
    • 你对学习领域的决定应该以使自己成为你所追求的职业的最佳候选人为基础.
  5. 哪个学校和项目最适合我,帮助我实现我的目标?
    • There are many logistical considerations (e.g., location, cost, housing, funding) and academic considerations (e.g.(环境、教员、研究兴趣),这将有助于缩小你的搜索范围.
    • 在这个阶段要问的一个重要的额外问题是:我需要什么样的资金,我申请的学校是否有研究生教学和/或研究助理奖学金?

In addition to websites, 重要的是要知道在你的专业领域中,还有其他可供研究生/专业学校搜索的资源. 一些领域已经发布了目录,其中包含了该特定研究领域中每个项目的大量信息. 做一些调查和联系,看看是否有你所在领域的目录.

Some graduate/professional schools will recruit at job fairs, 所以,看看你名单上的学校是否会参加你附近的招聘会,或者你可以在任何地方参加的在线虚拟招聘会.
