according to Kaplan's staff, the number one key to successfully get accepted into a graduate program is having good test scores. Another important key to remember is having a clear vision of what your career path would be. Having that clear vision of your future goals will make a great application that will stand out from the rest.
Funny how this is coming from Kaplan's about the importance of test scores. I think for graduate school, it's more important to be well rounded with scores, gpas, career all together.
