67. How to Get Into Graduate School and Get it Paid For
In this episode, we talk about all things getting into graduate school AND all the ways you can get graduate school paid for. If you have questions, or aren't sure about something I said, let's talk!
Things to consider in the process of applying to graduate school:
#1 - Explore what you want to do next (not necessarily forever)
#2 - Explore programs - locations and different types
#3 - Explore professors
#4 - Create a timeline and know your deadlines
#5 - Study for a take the GRE: https://www.ets.org/gre
#6 - Get your letters of recommendations
#7 - Tell your story with your personal statement
#8 - Resume
#9 - Transcripts
#10 - Writing Sample (for some programs, not all)
#11 - Interviews
#12 - Make a decision
**One thing I forgot to mention - look at different programs and see which ones actually do offer assistantships and ask how you can be competitive for them. It gives you an idea of what you need to do!
If you want an example of the GRE book I used, I recommend something like this: https://amzn.to/2MwRzKI or https://amzn.to/2MHe7IQ
