Introduction from the Director
Approximately forty-five percent of Elmira College students attend graduate school after
Commencement. Graduate education is an increasingly important part of preparation for most career fields.
Elmira College understands and encourages students to pursue advanced degrees and has established services
and resources to support your investigation, selection, and application to graduate schools. The Office of Career
Services is the place to visit for graduate school information and assistance. Office staff will help you identify
schools that will meet your educational and career objectives. I encourage you to think about your future and
consider whether graduate education is in your best interest.
The Graduate School Planning Guide will acquaint you with the decision-making process involved in
determining whether to attend graduate school. The Guide also includes information about research, selection,
admission, and preparation for graduate school. The Guide will assist you in evaluating your options. Graduate
school decisions become manageable when approached in an organized way. I believe you will learn much from
reading the next few pages.

Career Services
Why Attend Graduate School
The decision to attend graduate school is an important one. Many third year students face this question
and look for a perfect answer. There may not be a “perfect” answer, but your decision should suit your
individual needs and goals. The best way to decide whether pursuing an advanced degree is the right choice for
you is to weigh all the factors involved. Below are some questions you may want to ask yourself:
1. How would a graduate education enhance my career plans?
2. Does my profession require an advanced degree?
3. Would I benefit more from practical experience before I pursue graduate school?
4. Am I postponing some difficult decisions by attending graduate school?
5. Do I know exactly what field of study I want?
6. Do I need to attend graduate school full-time or is it in my best interest to work full-time and attend
graduate school part-time?
7. If I take time off from school will I realistically ever pursue this option at a later point?
The question of WHEN to attend graduate school is also important. Should you proceed directly to graduate
school or acquire some work experience first? Some advantages of attending graduate school directly after
completing an undergraduate degree include:
1. Continuity between undergraduate learning and specialization in your graduate field.
2. Completion of your education before starting your career.
3. Begin earning a higher salary right after graduate school.
4. Defer undergraduate student loans until you are better able to pay for them.
Advantages of waiting a year or two before entering graduate school include time to:
1. Build financial stability.
2. Renew your enthusiasm for academic work.
3. Clarify or reassess career goals before committing to a graduate program.
4. Gain “real life” experiences that can become useful in your graduate program.
2
Selecting a Program of Study
When selecting a graduate school it is important to first decide on a program of study. Most programs fall into
three categories:
1.
2.
3.
Programs directed toward obtaining a professional degree and the license or certification necessary to the
specific career that you are pursuing, e.g., medicine, law, or social work.
Programs aimed at providing additional preparation for a career that requires a bachelor’s degree. The
additional education gives you an employment advantage (e.g., business or communications).
Programs geared toward helping you gain comprehensive knowledge of a field or research area, perhaps
leading to the Ph.D.
Selecting a Graduate School
Once you have selected the type of program, you are ready to select a graduate school. After you consult
the resources below and select schools in which you are interested, visit their website and request materials such
as a graduate school catalogue, supplementary information on your field of study including financial aid options,
and an application. Other important sources of information often overlooked are your academic advisor or a
faculty member in the field of study you wish to pursue. Faculty members are usually well informed and familiar
with graduate programs in their fields. They may have a connection or know alumni that attended the school
you are interested in. They are excellent sources to recommend a particular graduate school or program.
Some of the most widely used directories of graduate programs are the Peterson’s Annual Guides to
Graduate Study. These guides list graduate programs in 362 fields that offer masters or doctoral degrees. They
also profile over 1,600 accredited institutions offering programs in various fields. The Peterson’s Guides are
available for use in the Office of Career Services. This resource is published in six volumes:
1.
2.
3.
4.

It is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and make initial contacts or simply to learn more about the
application process.
3
Factors to Consider When Selecting a Graduate School

Admission Requirements
The admission requirements for graduate schools vary slightly, but generally consist of the following:
Application – The application is a formal process in which you state initial personal and educational
information. Deadlines for applications vary, but generally, applications should be submitted in December or
January if you are planning on entering the following fall semester. Be sure you know the specific deadline for
each school to which you are applying and get your application submitted well ahead of the deadline. If the
school you are considering has a rolling deadline, try to get your application in as soon as possible. One
advantage to applying early is that some schools accept qualified applicants as the applications are received. Pay
attention to deadlines for financial aid materials as well. Another advantage to applying early is an increased
possibility of receiving financial aid.
Official Transcript – A major factor in admission selection is the applicant's grade point average. How Admission
Committees weigh the GPA varies from one institution to another. At the same time that your application is
submitted, an updated, official transcript should be sent to the institution. Elmira College transcripts may be
requested in writing from the Office of the Registrar, McGraw Hall, Room 113.
Recommendations – Letters of recommendation are requested by most graduate institutions. Usually two to
five recommendations are required. If you are an Education major, you should set up a Placement File in the
Office of Career Services then your recommendations will be kept in a file and sent out to prospective graduate
schools when requested in writing, either by you or a graduate school official.
Interview – Graduate schools often prefer to conduct personal interviews with applicants before granting
entrance into their graduate programs. Here are possible questions asked by graduate schools in an interview:
Why did you choose this graduate program?
Tell me about experiences you have in your field of interest?
Tell me why we should choose you over other applicants?
What are your long-range goals?
Describe three of your strengths and three weaknesses.
Work Experience – Some graduate school programs require previous work experience. The experience you gain
or have gained in the field will enhance the graduate program you will enter and help you better relate to what
you are learning. Be sure to highlight your experience at the required community service and internship
placements you had during your time at Elmira College.
Personal Statement – Most institutions will request that a written personal statement of your goals accompany
your application. This will give you the opportunity to express who you are, why you are interested in the field,
and how the program will likely affect your personal, professional, and academic life.

Tips for Writing Your Personal Statement
Purpose: The purpose of writing a personal statement is to provide each graduate school with an articulate
essay about you as a person, your personal goals, your educational and career objectives, your reasons for
applying to their graduate school, and the field you have chosen to study.
Length: In general, a good personal statement will be around two single-spaced pages. Shorter statements
usually provide too little information and longer statements tend to be redundant and wordy. Longer
statements might be fine if you have substantive issues to discuss. For example, if you have a lot of research
experience.
Writing Style: Your personal statement is your opportunity to create a good first impression. This means
your writing style must be clear and correct. No one is impressed by careless grammatical and typographical
errors. Pay close attention to every detail on your statement and avoid being repetitive.
Tone: Do not misinterpret the meaning of personal in the phrase personal statement. This statement is not a
place for you to explain your personal philosophy of life. Instead, think of the statement as a professional one.
Write about the activities and experiences that led you to apply to graduate school and that have prepared
you for its rigors. You need to showcase your abilities and convince the reader that you are smart and driven
to succeed. The personal statement is a chance to sell yourself – now is not the time to be overly humble but
of course, you should not misrepresent yourself or pompous.
Don’ts: Do not include high school information unless it relates to your chosen field. Also, try not to
include information unrelated to the question or that does not follow the guidelines provided. And do not
include controversial topics or negative self-references.
Feedback and Revision: After you have drafted your statement, ask professors or peers to give you their
opinion and suggestions about the statement to check for relevance, proper grammar structures,
punctuation, quality of content, and overall impression.
Structure: Below are described the three basic body parts of a personal statement and details on what you
should incorporate in each one.
Introduction:
Make sure you grab the reader’s attention.
Introduce the main elements of your statement.
Include reasons you have chosen your particular field of study and why you are interested in that
particular graduate program.
Body:
What will you offer to their graduate program, and what will you gain?
What is unique about you?
What interests you in the field to which you are applying?
Include your skills, qualities, and strengths.
Include any previous, related experience.
Include short and intermediate term educational and career objectives.
Include long term career goals.
Conclusion:
Leave the reader with a sense of who you are.
Re-articulate the main points of your statement and-or add one more significant point.

Admission Tests – Prior to making admission decisions, graduate schools require the applicant to take a
standardized admission test. The following are the most common admission tests given:

Graduate Record Exam (GRE) – Most schools require applicants to take the “General” test. This test
measures the student’s verbal, mathematical, and analytical abilities. Some programs require applicants to
take a specific “Subject” test. These tests are designed to measure the applicant's knowledge and
understanding of subject matter basic to graduate study in a specific field. The GRE General Test is
administered by computer. GRE Subject tests are paper-based. www.gre.org

Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) – The GMAT is an admission test that assesses the
knowledge of applicants for graduate study in Business and Management. The test measures general verbal
and mathematical skills. It does not test specific knowledge learned in undergraduate course work. The
GMAT is administered by computer. www.gmat.org

Law School Admission Test (LSAT) – The LSAT is required for those who are considering the study of
Law. The test measures mental abilities important for this study. It covers a wide range of academic
disciplines and measures the applicant’s ability to read, understand, and reason. A writing sample is also
required and is sent to all schools to which the applicant applies. www.lsat.org

Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) – The MCAT is usually required for those who are interested in
Medical School. The MCAT measures the applicant's ability in chemistry, biology, and physics; analytical and
quantitative skills; and reading. There is also an essay section. The test is divided into four sections: science
knowledge, science problems, skills analysis (reading), and skills analysis (quantitative). www.e-mcat.com

Dental Admission Test (DAT) – The DAT is taken by students interested in entering Dental School. The
DAT measures the applicant’s abilities in four areas: natural sciences (biology, general chemistry), reading
comprehension, quantitative ability, and perceptual ability. www.ada.org/prof/ed/testing

Miller Analogies Test (MAT) – The MAT is usually not required for admission by most graduate schools,
but it may be used as an added means of evaluating an applicant. The MAT is a test of reasoning ability
based on verbal analogies. www.milleranalogies.com
Admission Test Resources
There are several graduate entrance exam preparation books in print. Many are available for use in the
Office of Career Services, Gannett-Tripp Library, and for sale at the McGraw bookstore.
Kaplan Educational Center is a for-profit business that offers admission test preparation courses. There are
Kaplan courses offered in Ithaca and Binghamton. Also, several times throughout the academic year our
office hosts free on-campus practice tests conducted by Kaplan representatives. Give us a call at
(607) 735-1830 to check the date of the next practice test. www.kaplan.com
You may choose from among a variety of computer software programs to assist you in preparing for the
GRE, GMAT, and other specific admission tests.
The Princeton Review offers test preparation for the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, and more. Their
website also has a variety of valuable information on selecting, applying to, and financing graduate school.
There is a Princeton Review location in Rochester. www.princetonreview.com

Financial Aid
Financial aid for graduate study is available from several sources. Often colleges or universities grant aid,
as do some government sources, and private organizations. When you apply to a program, you should contact
the program chairperson and request information about department or institutional aid. It is important to
follow financial aid guidelines for each particular school and to observe the application and financial aid
deadlines.
Financial aid information can be found online and in literature published by the institution, the
government, and foundations. It also may be helpful to consult financial aid directories to locate other agencies,
companies, organizations, and professional associations which award financial assistance for students pursuing
graduate study in a specific field.
Merit-Based Aid:
Merit-based aid is granted based upon your academic accomplishments and skills. Although financial need
can be a factor when being considered for merit-based aid, your personal abilities and achievements are a
common measure.


Grants and Fellowships – These awards are given by private organizations or possibly by the graduate school,
to cover part or all of the tuition and-or living expenses. Information regarding this type of aid can be
obtained from graduate school financial aid offices, as well as from the internet, and books at the Office of
Career Services. The keys to obtaining grants and fellowships are patience and persistence. Searching for
funds can be a long and time-consuming task, but it is worthwhile in the end.
Graduate Assistantships – These are work programs that provide a stipend, a salary, and-or a tuition waiver
in exchange for work within the college or university. Possible areas of work include teaching, research, or
administrative work (e.g., residence hall director). Contact the schools to which you are applying and
request an assistantship application.
Need-Based Aid:
Financial need is the difference between your total educational costs and your financial resources. Needbased financial aid includes work study, private and federal loans, grants, and fellowships. You will probably
have to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. The FAFSA is a financial need
analysis questionnaire, which is used to compile a Student Aid Report. When you submit your FAFSA form, a
SAR will be prepared and sent back to you. You must then send the SAR to your chosen graduate schools.

Long Term Educational Loans – It may be necessary for you to apply for loans. Most graduate schools have
loan programs for which students are eligible. Please remember that establishing good credit is essential
before applying for loans. Federal loans include the Perkins Loan, Stafford Loan, and Family Loans. You
are to begin payment on these loans six months after you are no longer a full-time student. Private loans,
school-sponsored loans, and state loans (in most states) are also available.

Federal Work Study – The Federal Work Study program provides employment, generally on-campus, for
students who qualify. For more information about this program, contact the financial aid office at the
graduate schools to which you are applying.
