What to when accepted?

Graduate School

<p>I have already been accepted to a grad program but the letter says they need to know if I will be attending my mid April. I will also be visiting them in February to meet with professors. I am just curious, is it customary to contact the department at all before I am ready to make my decision? Should I say "thank you" or let them know that it will be awhile before I make my decision? Does it really matter at all since I will be visiting them in a few months? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Send an email thanking them and expressing enthusiasm for your visit in February. Common courtesy.</p>

<p>begin contacting professors whose laboratories you find interesting and get to know their work. Visit them if you can. </p>

<p>Choosing which grad school to attend is the hardest part of the admissions process.</p>
