Post-Application: Following Up

Sending in completed application forms does not signify the end of the graduate school application process. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all materials have been sent and received on time!

To ensure consideration of their applications, students must complete the follow-up steps listed below:

  • Contact each graduate program to make sure they have received completed application materials
  • Contact appropriate sources regarding missing materials; re-contact graduate program
  • Continue to research programs by speaking with students and faculty, reading literature, etc.
  • Determine which program(s) match your interests/needs best and rank them in terms of admissions preferences
