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 deciding graduate school is the right path, the next step is to develop an action plan, similar to a job search strategy.
Many programs require special tests for admission, such as the GRE, MATs, GMATs, LSAT, MCAT, DAT, and OAT.
By your junior year at YU, start investigating graduate programs in your area of interest, utilizing resources like Petersen's Guide to Graduate Programs.
Research the average test scores of admitted students to gauge where you stand and consider signing up for test prep courses if necessary.
Consider factors such as cost, size, geographic location, entrance requirements, and program quality when researching schools.
Test prep courses from The Princeton Review and Kaplan, though costly, may be a wise investment, especially for those who struggle with standardized tests.
Seek recommendations from professors and review materials from potential schools to ensure you meet the entrance requirements.
Pay attention to the filing dates for tests, particularly for Sabbath observers, and ensure you meet application deadlines.
Investigate the faculty's research areas to ensure alignment with your interests and talk to alumni for feedback on the program.
Most tests are computerized, but some paper and pencil administrations still exist. For test dates or local test centers, consult the SGC or call ETS.
Narrow down your choices by considering factors like the presence of an active Jewish community and the program's alignment with your interests.
Early preparation is crucial: Fill out applications and write your personal statement well in advance to avoid last-minute stress.
Decide on a range of schools to apply to, varying from "safety" schools to "reach" schools, depending on your chosen field of study.
Psychology and pre-medical students often apply to up to fifteen schools, whereas social work students typically apply to about five.
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.
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.
Discuss your growth and what you've learned from your experiences, either about yourself, others, or about the field.
Be reflective.
Make sure you've answered all the questions!
Proofread for content, grammar, and spelling, and limit the essays generally to two pages.
Have someone double-check it to make sure it reads well and there are no mistakes!
Send your applications in early.
For online applications make sure that each document is uploaded correctly.
For paper applications, make sure each application is in the correct envelope.
Most graduate schools request three letters of recommendation.
In choosing references, you should:

Ask people who know you well and who will write strong recommendations.
Have at least one recommendation from a professor in your field of study.
The others may be from faculty or job supervisors.
Consider the type of program to which you are applying.
The more academic the program, the greater number of academic references (professors with PhDs) you should secure.
Remember that in writing a recommendation, someone is doing you a favor--be gracious and be sure to give them an ample amount of time to write the letter.
If you are uncertain whether or not to ask individuals to write you a letter, set up a meeting with them, discuss with them your intentions for graduate study, and ask them if they would feel comfortable writing a strong letter on your behalf.
This gives them the option of saying no or insuring that if they say yes, your letter will be strong.
Interfolio, the premier credentials, dossier and online portfolio service, is now available to students at Yeshiva University.
Interfolio is an easy and affordable way for a student to collect and deliver application materials, such as letters of recommendation, for graduate school, academic jobs, fellowships, or other opportunities.
Click here to sign up for Interfolio.
On the recommendation form, you will be asked to indicate if you wish to waive the right to see the recommendation.
We suggest that you do waive the right as it usually increases the validity of the recommendation in the eyes of the admissions officers.
Not all schools require one, but they are usually required by medical schools, graduate programs in psychology and social work, and several others.
You may request one if you feel it will strengthen your application.
An interview can be a very important opportunity for you to persuade an institution's admissions office or committee that you would be an asset to its program.
Interviewers are interested in the way you think and approach problems.
You may be asked questions on such topics as:

Your motivation for pursuing graduate study and that program specifically.
Your personal philosophy.
Your career goals, related research, and areas of interest.
As in a job interview, you need to prepare by speaking to alumni and professors, reading the school catalog and visiting the school's website.
Think over your answers to some of the questions above, and do further research to discover other typical questions asked during interviews for your area of study.
Also be prepared to ask questions during the interview.
Know your essay and resume inside out, as many questions may arise from them.
Find out what kind of interview it will be: group, one-on-one (one interviewer for one candidate), three-on-one (three interviews for one candidate), whole day, half day, etc.
Dress as you would for a job interview--professional attire.
It is your responsibility to be on top of the application process.
You will generally need to send the following:

Official transcripts--file a transcript request form in the Registrar's Office.
Official transcript from EACH school you have attended, including Israel, if you have not gone on the YU joint program or if you stayed on for a second year or an additional semester.
You also need official transcripts if you have taken summer courses elsewhere and had them transferred to YU to graduate or if you enrolled in college level courses in high school and received college credit for them.
Official scores from graduate admissions tests.
Completed applications, essays, and letters of recommendation.
If your admissions folder is incomplete, you cannot be considered for entrance.
PAY ATTENTION TO DEADLINES!!!
Remember that some schools have rolling admissions, so the earlier you apply, the better your chances of being accepted.
In the end, the admissions committee will review the completed applications looking at GPA, admission test scores, essays, letters of recommendation, and interviews.
There is no one factor that can guarantee admissions, but rather a combination of all factors.
Graduate schools are looking for a diversified class.
If you do not get into graduate school on the first try, but are determined to reapply, it is advised that you call the schools and inquire as to why you were not accepted.
See if there is anything you can do that will strengthen your application for next year when you'reapply.
This can often be viewed favorably.
Ultimately, you will be the one to decide how committed you are to pursuing graduate school.
You may need to expand your geographical range or the type of program to increase your chances of getting accepted, or you may need to gain further experience to enhance your application.
The Architecture Minor allows student to explore built environments through both design studios and architectural history courses.
Through a series of increasingly complex exercises, students discover how spaces are made.
The studio method focuses on the development of the visual and verbal skills needed to approach conceptual and three-dimensional problem solving intelligently.
Students will begin to understand basic design skills as well as develop a vocabulary for expressing their intentions.
The design studios employ a dual approach: analysis and synthesis.
Beginning with analysis of specific buildings from the canon of twentieth-century architecture, students learn how the designer applied a vocabulary of visual concepts to built form.
Complementing the design studios is a series of architectural history courses that employ New York City as a museum without walls.
Through numerous site visits, students learn about shaping human habitats, from rooms to houses, to public buildings, and to cities.
They learn to classify environments based on era, scale, purpose, style, and context.
For more information about the Architecture Minor at Yeshiva College, please contact Professor Paul Glassman at paul.glassman@yu.edu.
Yeshiva College offers courses in studio arts (drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture), art history, architectural history, and architectural theory and design.
Courses in studio arts explore practical, structural, and creative ideas in visual media.
Courses in art history and architectural history study the visual arts in their historical context.
Students examine each work not only for its intrinsic aesthetic appeal, but also for a perspective into artistic schools and movements, artist careers, and larger social and cultural issues within intellectual history.
For questions or further information about the Art Department at Yeshiva College, please contact Professor Daniel Beliavsky at beliavsk@yu.edu or 212-960-5400 ext.
