Well, you asked for it...

Participants from our last graduate school Facebook discussion and live chat have requested that we have another chat this semester. This would give all of our undergraduates one last chance this year to ask their final burning questions about choosing schools, attending graduate school and what to do if you don't get into your chosen school.

We're tentatively scheduling our next discussion for 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Monday, April 13. More info to come. If you want to receive regular updates, become a fan on Facebook.

Some of the topics discussed were:
- How many grad schools should I apply to?
- When will I hear back from schools?
- How can I find out information about the schools I'm applying to?
- How do I prepare for an interview or recruitment weekend?
- How can I find professors I'm interested in working with?
- How should I prepare for the GRE?
