Taste like fresh

Studying graduate school is a very important investment, so as the application process. It is like betting, but for many aspects it's not. There are many approaches to get into some good graduate schools. However, as time goes on, the chances and choices are both getting fewer. In my view, freshmen are like plain papers. They do not have any GPA and research experience. Professors do not know them. The only thing that has been chosen is the name of the university. For international students, even the name of the university doesn't matter, since the American professors have rarely heard of it anyway.
