Looking to go to Graduate School?

Depending on the program you are applying for, you’ll find that applications are often considered in rounds, with the first deadline often being in November for the following academic year; so, just as with the job search process, it is to your benefit to be working at least one year in advance with your planning. You will usually find out if you have been admitted within approximately one month after the application deadline. Final deadlines are often in April, but you should consult the specific programs you are interested in to be sure you don’t miss out on important steps in the process. You should also plan your timeline so that you have ample time to prepare for and take the GMAT or other required graduate school entrance exams.
