GRE and GMATs may become obsolete in the coming years but there is one thing that will not stop mattering for MS/PhD applications. This is also one of those things which if you get right can get you admitted right into your dream school.

And, it’s not publishing the papers alone.

This girl got into UMich because she was able to reach out to the right Prof who was looking for a RA and her work was exactly the right fit!

The Prof interviewed her in January and liked her. So, he told her to formally apply before the deadline so that he could recommend her application to the admission committee with RAship offer 💰

And once a Prof recommends a student and can potentially fund her, application is just a formality. You automatically get selected, no question asked 😊

It’s funny how simple and logical it is and yet, how many students ignore this step! Yes, it is very rare when it works out but the reward is so high (a direct admission) that if you have a profile that can be interesting to Professors, you must try this out.
