Letters of
Recommendation:
*Note: The earlier
you request a letter of recommendation from a professor, the
better. Some websites suggest that you provide a copy of your
personal statement with your request for a recommendation.
While this is ideal, waiting until you have a polished
personal statement for each school may leave you and your
professor with too little time to submit a good letter of
recommendation. It is best therefore to submit as much as you
can to your professors at least four weeks in advance.

Financing your
education:
*START SEARCHING EARLY:
Depending on the program, your admissions application deadline
may be in March, but many scholarship and grant deadlines are
in December, January, and February. So even if you are unsure
which particular school you will be applying to, please look
and apply for grants and scholarships as soon as
possible.*
