　　Consider which faculty members to ask for letters of recommendation.

　　September/October

　　Research sources of financial aid.

　　Carefully examine each of the program applications. Note any questions or essay topics that will require your attention.

　　Write a draft of your statement of purpose.

　　Ask a faculty member or the career/grad admissions counselor at your school to read your essays and provide feedback. Take their advice!

　　Ask faculty for letters of recommendation. Provide faculty with a copy of your transcript, each programs recommendation form, and your statement of purpose.
