Developing Your Admission Game Plan – Master's & Doctoral

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 at 7:00 PM until 8:00 PMEastern Daylight Time UTC -04:00

Gaining admission into selective doctoral programs requires a tailored and strategic approach. Join our Director of Admission and doctoral admission committee members to demystify the process and put your best foot forward.

In this session, we will answer some of the most commonly asked questions about the master’s and doctoral degree admission process, such as: How competitive is it? What academic or career background do I need to be admitted? Is the GRE required? What GPA do I need? What are the characteristics of a strong personal statement? How do I pick the right recommenders when my bachelor’s degree was conferred a long time ago?
