The GRE

There is considerable debate about whether programs should require the GRE, which can be prohibitively expensive for some applicants and may not say very much about an applicant鈥檚 abilities.

Do your research on whether the GRE is or is not required for admission to the programs you are most interested in.

If you take the GRE, study for it!  You want to do well on the analytical and verbal sections at least.  (Admissions committees in History programs usually ignore the math score). 

 

Application Fees

These can be expensive BUT many programs can waive those fees if you ask.

Don鈥檛 hesitate to ask鈥攖he worst someone can say is no and programs often regard application fees as a barrier.  Keep in mind that programs don鈥檛 set those fees鈥攁nother element of the university bureaucracy does.

 

Languages

If you want to work on the history of a country other than the United States, you鈥檒l need to possess language competence before you apply to graduate school because you鈥檒l need to read primary sources in that language and (eventually) travel to it for research.

Some programs require non-Americanists to know two languages.

Use your undergraduate years to build your language capacity.  Students whose transcripts show that they are fluent (or nearly so) check an important box for an admissions committee.
