Graduate school counseling is usually done by the appropriate undergraduate department. Dean Schneider can give some general advice, however, including information on application procedures, deadlines, the need for GRE's, etc. Please also see "Thinking about graduate school in the arts and sciences?" In addition, the Dean of Studies Office provides a recommendations service for current students and alumnae. Students interested in opening a recommendations file should speak with the Graduate Recommendations Assistant, Mr. Peter John, in 105 Milbank Hall. If you are unsure about the kind of postgraduate training you might need for a particular career, make an appointment to see a counselor in the Office of Career Development. If GRE examinations are needed by the schools to which you are applying, the recommended time for taking those by is November 1. The December GRE date is possible, but it comes close to the time of final exams and the due dates for papers. (See the GRE Information Bulletin, available in 105 Milbank, or log into www.ets.org/gre for further details.)
