Just as being a graduate student is very different from being an undergraduate so are the ways in which you figure out which programs are the best fit for you, and successfully apply for them. This session will be especially relevant to juniors and seniors in the process of researching and applying to graduate school: How to find the right programs, how to structure your personal statement and get strong recommendation letters, do you have to take the GRE – and what if you don’t score as well as you’d like? However, we’ll also talk about what you should be doing to prepare as early as your sophomore or even freshman year. Participants will also get a list of faculty who are accepting applications this year and additional resources to assist with applications and personal statements.

NOTE: The live session will be recorded and posted on the STAR Scholars website if you are unable to attend.
