General Question

Graduate School
1

<p>I'm a senior and a communication major at the University of Washington. Basically, I'm looking for advice on grad school. My cumulative GPA is 3.78 and I'm currently involved with an internship related to my major (and will be involved with more in the future). I'm also in the process of getting in touch with professors in my department who'd be interested in taking me on for research. Beyond this, what should I be doing to a) prepare for grad school, and b) ensure that I can get into as good a school as possible? </p>

<p>I'm new to this board and this is my first post, so thanks in advance for your help and consideration.</p>

<p>Research is always good, though it depends on what field you will be entering. Of course, high performance on the GRE is also good. A LOR and a strong statement or purpose will be most important. Work with your adviser to write a SOP</p>

<p>Read the Grad School 101 thread - it has plenty of useful information.</p>
