You may start thinking about pursuing graduate school sometimes during your third year of undergraduate degree. By then it may be too late to start improving your grades as you're reaching graduation.\u00a0 However, it is very important to do well in university from the beginning; you can always try to strive at any point in your academic studies.<\/p>\n<p>In order to pursue a Graduate program at York, the Faculty of Graduate Studies requires students to graduate from a four-year degree from a recognized university with at least a B average GPA that is based on the last two years of study. However, successful applicants, particularly in the most competitive programs, usually have a B+ or A average. Another important factor to keep in mind is that for many of the graduate programs you require referees. Therefore, students need to start networking early on so professors can remember their work and provide outstanding letters of recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>There are other requirements that are needed for admission to specific programs; nevertheless you can always follow your dreams and set yourself apart from others as leaders in your particular field.
