Frequently Asked Questions
How many universities should I apply to?
We recommend applying to 6-10 universities: 2-3 reach schools, 3-4 match schools, and 2-3 safety schools. This provides a good balance of opportunities while managing application costs and effort.
When should I start my application process?
Start 12-18 months before your intended start date. This gives you time for test preparation, document gathering, and crafting strong applications without rushing.
What if I have low test scores?
Focus on other strengths like work experience, research, essays, and recommendations. Some programs are test-optional, and you can also retake tests to improve scores.

Very important! They provide third-party validation of your abilities. Choose recommenders who know you well and can speak to your academic or professional capabilities.
