MiNDS Application Questions
Common questions
 Here are 2 questions that many students have about applying to the MiNDS program.
Do I need to have a supervisor before applying?
No, most applicants do not have a supervisor before they apply. Faculty go through the applications to find students that looking interesting and have flagged the professor as someone that they want to work with. So be sure to carefully chose a few MiNDS faculty and put them on your Area of Interest part of the application.
When is the deadline for applications?
There is no deadline. But, we begin to review applications in February so get your application in early for the best chance of gaining admission to the MiNDS program.
About 80 students have started the application process to join the
MiNDS program in fall 2010. Be sure to contact us if you need help with your application or have questions about the program.

You need to apply your experiences to help sort through the various grad school options. You want to select the program and supervisor that will be the best fit for you and help you develop to achieve your full potential.
So what factors should you consider while choosing a program and supervisor?
We asked our students -- MiNDS grad students -- about the factors they considered when deciding to choose the MiNDS program. Here's what they had to say.
