A successful master’s application is built on clear priorities and smart timing. This session breaks down the key components admissions committees care about most, including academics, experience, essays, recommendations, and fit, and explains when to focus on each. You’ll learn how to plan your timeline, strengthen your profile early, and avoid common missteps that create unnecessary stress or weaken applications. Whether you’re just starting to explore programs or preparing to apply soon, this workshop will help you approach the process with clarity and confidence.
