Editor's Notes

  1. “A four-year degree no longer offers the promise of a steadily-rising income. In 2007, the real value of wages actually fell almost 2% below the 2001 level” – onlinegraduateprograms.com
  2. “A four-year degree no longer offers the promise of a steadily-rising income. In 2007, the real value of wages actually fell almost 2% below the 2001 level” – onlinegraduateprograms.com
  3. You can have the best qualifications in the world, but if you don’t tell them about it…Have multiple people read and offer suggestions, but remember that they are suggestions. Ultimately, it is your essay.
  4. Perhaps highlight parts of your resume pertaining to work done with the recommender
  5. Application Deadlines
  6. Explore class descriptions for program content (Forensics example – forensic anthropology vs. toxicology). Have two or even three possible mentors at the same institution. Big city vs. rural community. Coast vs. mountains. If family - schools and daycare facilities. Campus and community activities. Beware the possibility of culture shock – not a bad idea to expand your horizons, but…. Think of total cost – tuition, fees, books and supplies, living expenses, transportation, health care, family care
  7. If you are highly dedicated and self-motivated…. If you need step-by-step instruction or a rigid schedule…..If you tend to “take the easy way”…. If you have a hard time saying “no”….
  8. Part of your handouts include some tip sheets and sample organization templates. We have a sample tool box if you would like to take a look.
