Planning sequence
Background
Read the prerequisite fit
A graduate case starts with prior major, grades, advanced coursework, tests if used, and technical preparation.
- Identify what made the applicant academically ready.
- Separate direct-fit applicants from pivot applicants.
Materials
Read how documents framed the evidence
SOP, CV, recommendations, and supplements should explain why the outcome made sense.
