Episode 5: Final steps

You will have to mail hard copies of your academic transcripts (if they do not accept soft copies) to the university you applied to. Ensure that you also send your resume with the transcripts. Write a polite covering letter detailing the contents of the package you are couriering.

Submit the GRE and TOEFL scores to each university. The total cost of applying to a single university will be close to $100-$120. Yes, applying is an expensive process.

Now, you can't just sit back and relax for too long. Follow up on the application. See that all the documents have reached and that you application is fully complete. Mail the department if you have any queries.

The admission results for fall admissions start coming in earliest by February beginning. Start saying you prayers and hoping for the best. When you do get your results, don't accept immediately. Wait for the other results to come in. It will be very nice of you to thank your recommenders and tell them of your results. They will appreciate it. If you are sure to reject a particular university, let them know by mailing them or following the procedures they expect.

    I was trawling the net through in search of some tips for constructing a Statement of Purpose before I somehow chanced upon your blog. What interests me most is that you did apply (and gained admissions) into the Engineering Management programs, of which I'm highly interested. Is it possible for me to write to your email (a longer mail) asking for advice?

    Thanks.
