Letters of Recommendation

Letters of recommendation are usually from professors you have built a relationship with in your classes. For most schools, 3-5 letters of recommendation is sufficient. Ask professors to write letters for you at least a month in advance, they are very busy and will not be able to help if you request a letter at the last minute.

Research Opportunities

Research is a strong addition to a graduate school application. The university offers several opportunities for research grants throughout the year, however a formal grant is not necessary to conduct research. Consider conducting an independent study, or expanding on a research project you began in a course. On occasion professors in the department have opportunities for students to assist with research, talk to your professors to see if any opportunities come up!
