Application Tips:
1) Start with a Plan
All plans begin with research. Research programs and schools you are interested in, application requirements, and deadlines. Here’s a handy list to follow:1
- Research each college
- Brainstorm your answers to the essay topics
- Write the applications
- Get feedback
- Revise your work
- Take an extended break
- Revise again
2) Gather Recommendation Letters
Ask teachers and mentors to write you a letter of recommendation for your program application. Remember that people are busy, so give them plenty of time to meet your application deadline.
3) Stay Connected!
Always follow up after you’ve submitted your application to ensure that all application pieces have been completed and received. After submitting your application for a Kent State University online program, contact our student services team.
Free Graduate Application Week! October 27 - November 6, 2022
Kent State’s Office of Graduate Admissions offers a free application week for prospective domestic graduate students, October 27 - November 6, 2022.
If you submit your application during this time, the application fee will be automatically waived. No special code is required. Applying is simple! You don’t need to provide all your application materials (e.g., transcripts, letters of recommendation, goal statement) when you submit your application. You will retain access to your application portal, where you can upload new documents, replace previously submitted documents and check the status of your application. So if you’re a prospective student from the U.S., make sure to submit your app between Oct 27-Nov 6 to qualify for the app fee waiver!*
