Last night was our student presentation on the Nuts and Bolts of applying to graduate and professional school. Special thanks to our panelists Anjali, Jessica, and Megan!
Applying to graduate schools is a long and intensive process that includes standardized tests, writing personal statements, requesting letters of recommendation, and much, much more. Undergraduate research can have a big impact on your application process. Faculty, advisers, and students you have met through your research work and conferences will be best pool of knowledge to help you through the process. This is especially true of your faculty advisers. They are most likely the most knowledgeable about the process for your specific discipline and will probably be more than willing to help, not least of all writing your recommendation letters. Ultimately, the application process is a huge investment of time and effort, but it is also a growing experience that helps you realize what you actually want to do with your education.
Handouts that were developed by our panelists and the URO are available here for graduate, medical, and law schools. We will be hosting workshops on resumes and personal statements during the weeks of July 14th and July 21st so keep a look out for announcements here and via email.
