Determine from whom you wish to obtain letters of recommendation, and notify these people at least three weeks before the deadline for your application. Request that GRE and MAT scores be sent to all schools requiring them. If your scores are high and will be considered an asset, mail them to all places you are applying. Request that transcripts be mailed to all schools and agencies. Check before Christmas to be certain all materials, especially recommendations, have been sent.
Most incomplete applications result from missing letters of recommendation.
Include in your application package to all graduate schools on your preference list materials requested by the institution or organization, a resume, copies of transcripts and test scores, and names of those sending recommendations. Follow application instructions exactly.
