SELENE: Can I help you?

TERRY: Yes. I am interested in applying for graduate school here.

SELENE: Alright. Do you have some specific questions?

TERRY: 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.

SELENE: Have you sent in an application already?

TERRY: No, I haven’t.

SELENE: Well, I’m sorry to tell you,

but the deadline for applications has already passed.

TERRY: I’m sorry. What does that mean?

SELENE: That means it is already too late to apply for school this fall semester.

TERRY: Really?

SELENE: 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.

TERRY: That is January next year. Yes?

SELENE: That’s right.

TERRY: Alright. Well, can you tell me what I need in my application?

SELENE: All the information is included in the application packet.

TERRY: I’m sure it is. But could you tell me also?

I might not understand something in the packet information.

SELENE: All applicants to the graduate school must have three letters of recommendation.

They must have official university transcripts sent directly from their previous school.

TERRY: I can’t send my transcripts myself?

SELENE: 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.

TERRY: How much is the application fee for applying to graduate school?

SELENE: The application fee is $40.

TERRY: Alright. Give me one application packet please.

I’ll take it back and start to fill it out.

SELENE: Here you are.

TERRY: Thank you.
