Is there anything I can help?
Yes. I am interested in applying for graduate school here.
Alright. Do you have some specific questions?
Not really. I am in Madison visiting a friend. And I would like to go to school here too. So he told me to come to this office.
Have you sent in an application already?
No, I haven't.
Well, I'm sorry to tell you, but the deadline for applications has already passed.
I'm sorry. What does that mean?
That means it is already too late to apply for school this fall semester.
Really?
Yes. The Graduate School accepts no applications after January 29th. And it is already February fifth. So if you apply, you must apply to begin first semester next year.
That is January next year. Yes?
That's right.
Alright. Well, can you tell me what I need in my application?
All the information is included in the application packet.
I'm sure it is. But could you tell me also? I might not understand something in the packet information.
All applicants to the graduate school must have three letters of recommendation. They must have official university transcripts sent directly from their previous school.
I can't send my transcripts myself?
No. Your school must send them to us. Also, all graduate students must have GRE or GMAT scores sent to us by the testing center.
How much is the application fee for applying to graduate school?
The application fee is $40.
Alright. Give me one application packet please. I'll take it back and start to fill it out
Here you are.
Thank you.
