There is always a form that asks for the essential information that the institution will use to file and keep track of your application. It should be filled out clearly and accurately and typed. If possible, be consistent in spelling out your full, legal name on all forms. As soon as you have identified the schools to which you will apply, request application forms to be sent to you. You may be able to download a copy from the graduate school's home page.
All applications are different, so pay attention to all forms and instructions.
Top C ollege Transcripts Graduate programs require official transcripts of all college work that you have undertaken. Even one or two courses taken at another institution should be reported via transcript. Order transcripts from all of your postsecondary institutions early in the fall. For the GRE it is important to note whether a specific subject test is required in addition to the general exam. Test scores are only one of several factors that admissions committees consider in reviewing your application.
