Ball State University students can pick up an information packet and test registration information in Lucina, room 366. You can contact ETS online for information about the GRE . Letters of Recommendation Letters of recommendation are most valuable when they contain information that is not available in the GPA or GRE scores. Thus letters from professors with whom you have done research and supervisors of internships are usually the most valuable. These people can describe the kinds of things you have done and the style with which you have done them.
Schools typically request three or four letters of recommendation.
Nearly all graduate schools prefer students have some research experience. Expected Match There are several factors that contribute to graduate selection committees classifying a student as a good match. A major factor is the degree to which the applicant's skills and interests match those of at least one person in the department. The focus and clarity of the applicant's statement can contribute to this perception. If faculty members express interest in a student, that may affect the admission committee.
