Graduate admissions refer to the process through which universities evaluate and select candidates for advanced degree programs, such as master's and doctoral degrees. This process typically involves submitting an application that includes academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, and standardized test scores, such as the GRE or GMAT, depending on the program. Each graduate program may have specific requirements and deadlines, which can vary widely between institutions. Admissions committees assess applicants based on their academic background, relevant experience, and potential for success in their chosen field. Successful candidates are often invited for interviews or further evaluations before final decisions are made.
