Students seeking admission to graduate study in psychology must successfully clear several hurdles during the application process. To determine the role that Psi Chi plays in providing students information about this process, we surveyed over 100 Psi Chi chapters. Although most chapters hold meetings on "how to get into graduate school," the frequency, content, format, and timing of these meetings varied considerably across chapters. We offer suggestions for improving these meetings and underscore the role that faculty may play in helping students gather information about graduate school and the application process.
