Grad School Admissions...

Graduate School

<p>I’m thinking about getting my master’s in occupational therapy. Is grad school admissions like undergrad admissions, where places want to see well-rounded people who do everything? Or do they mainly focus on grades and extracurriculars related to the field you’re going into?
Thanks.</p>

<p>Oh, also, would it put me in a disadvantage if I graduate from my undergrad program 2 years early?</p>

<p>The 101 forum can give you more details, but this is the jest of it

<p>The factors in your admission (in no particular order) are:

  1. Grades (In Field Related Coursework) and GRE Scores
  2. Letters of Recommendation
  3. Statement of Purpose
  4. Relevant Research<br>
    Graduating early is usually does put one at a slight disadvantage (they don’t have as much time to spend in their field). This may not be the case for your specific masters program. Talk to your professors in the field.</p>
