Some schools have a fee deferment plan that will reduce or even cancel the application fee if you can prove financial hardship. Transcripts Transcripts are another required element of graduate school application packets. Programs request official copies of your transcript in order to examine your GPA, the type and difficulty of course work you completed during your undergraduate career, and your level of preparation for their particular graduate programs. Transcripts may be obtained from the registrar's office of your college or university. Most schools will require you to take one or more graduate admissions exams, depending on your desired field of study.
All exams require preregistration and include a moderate fee.
Consult the graduate programs of interest to you for specific exam requirements. Check your campus career services office, the local library, or the Internet for registration information. It is also important to be familiar with the ways in which admissions exams are administered. Some exams are administered via paper and pencil, while others are computer based. When preparing for admissions exams, make sure you are familiar with the formats and time restrictions associated with each exam section.
