<p>For graduate school, is it like undergraduate college admissions where you have to take all the advanced courses in college, do a lot of extracurriculars, etc? What's different and similar about the undergrad college admissions process and the graduate admissions process?</p>
<p>They are entirely different animals.</p>
<p>So I don’t repeat myself, please see [this</a> post](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/13227112-post2.html]this”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/13227112-post2.html) I wrote this morning.</p>
<p>In short, grad school admissions are individualized; qualitative rather than quantitative; care little or nothing about “extracurriculars”; and are concerned primarily with your ability or potential to conduct research within your given field of interest.</p>
