This event has passed. Thank you for joining us. Recap:

According to Yujie and Eugene, students who are considering pursuing post-graduate degrees overseas should:

• Have fundamental understandings on the strength, ranking, and geographical location of schools.
• Plan early and take courses that are useful for applying for the post-graduate degree.
• Check English proficiency and other exam (e.g. GRE/GMAT) requirements of the post-graduate program; Visa requirement for entering the country.
• Make sure the strength of a school and research interest of faculty members in the school align with your own interest.
• It may be easier to seek internship opportunities if the school is located within a major city.
• Your professors will need to know more about you before they can write a meaningful reference letter for you. It is important to establish connection and build a strong relationship with your professors before asking them to do so.
