Deciding to attend graduate school is a big decision that should not be taken lightly. Unlike undergraduate school, graduate school requires even more independent study that will give you expertise in one field.
It also requires much self-discipline and a serious commitment to a field of study--not to mention a huge financial cost. Students choose graduate school for many reasons, some of which are more valid than others.
Reasons you should attend graduate school include:

The career you've chosen requires it for you to be successful in that field. You want to obtain professional training in a specific area.
You love learning and want to advance your knowledge and skills in a particular field. It is not wise to attend graduate school for the following reasons:

You don't know what you want, and it stalls your need to make a decision.
You feel like there's nothing better to do. You're afraid to start working.
If you are not certain about pursuing a graduate degree, it is wise to speak to professors and alumni in your field of interest to first see if a graduate degree is required, and then to determine when would be the optimum time to attend. The bottom line is that you should consider graduate school only if you have already committed to a career choice, and if your research has indicated that graduate school is required for you to succeed in that career.
Once you decide that graduate school is appropriate, the next step, as in a job search, is to develop a plan of action. By junior year at YU, you should start to investigate schools in your area of interest.
A good resource is Petersen's Guide to Graduate Programs which is available at the The Shevet Glaubach Center (SGC) as well as online. Determine the cost, size, geographic location, entrance requirements, and quality of the programs.
Talk to professors about their recommendations. Send for catalogues, and review the materials, making sure you meet the necessary entrance requirements.
Also, note who is on the faculty and review their areas of research. Determine whether they are working on topics that are of interest to you.
Speak to alumni who attended the school to gain their feedback on the program. Begin to narrow your choices.
Decide whether a location that has an active Jewish community is an important factor for you when deciding where to apply. Depending on the type of program, you might have anywhere from five to twenty schools on your final list.
For example, it is common for psychology and pre-medical students to apply to as many as fifteen schools, while social work students generally apply to about five. Apply to a few schools you are certain you will get into, a few that seem reasonable, and a few that are reach schools.
Many programs require you to take special tests for admittance. Tests vary in length from one hour to six hours.
Most tests will ascertain your language/English/reading comprehension skills, your quantitative and logical reasoning skills, and your writing abilities. Some also focus on specific technical information in your area of study and are more like achievement tests.
Examples of typical admissions tests include:

The Graduate Record Exams (GRE)
Miller Analogy Tests (MATs)
Graduate Management Admissions Tests (GMATs)
Law School Admissions Test (LSAT)Medical Related Tests (MCAT, DAT, OAT)
Most schools publish the average test scores of their admitted students, so do your research to know the typical ranges. This will help gain a realistic view of where you stand as you start to take practice tests, and will help you determine if you should sign up for a preparation course.
Test prep courses such as The Princeton Review and Kaplan can be costly, but may be a wise investment for you, especially if you tend not to perform well on standardized tests. Note the filing dates, especially for Sabbath observers.
Make sure you meet the deadlines. While most tests are computerized, there are still some paper and pencil administrations.
For specific dates of test administration or names of local test centers, stop by the SGC, call ETS at 609-771-7670, or contact other testing services. Fill out your applications, and write your personal statement early on.
Spend time on your essays--schools do read them! The essay is an opportunity to show the Admissions Committee that you are more than just your GPA or test scores.
Schools want to know your ideas and goals in pursuing a graduate degree, and they want to assess your writing abilities. Some general rules to follow when writing the essay include:

Tailor the essay to each school's application.
The more academic the program, the more they want to hear about your research or a discussion of an academic issue in the field. The more practical and applied the program, the more personal you can be.
Make sure you spend time thinking about what makes you different so that your essay can stand out. Avoid grandiose adjectives and resume-like lists.
Discuss your accomplishments and how you have overcome challenges. Detail specific experiences and make it personal.
