If you’re thinking about applying to grad school (or already have it in your plans), this virtual workshop will outline what to consider before exploring graduate programs and institutions, help you in understanding the general application timeline, and give you a start on preparing your application materials.

Together with Hub coaches and your peers, you’ll develop a plan towards successful admission to a grad program that fits your learning and career goals. Lastly, we will work together as a group to establish what makes a powerful and effective personal statement.

You should attend this virtual workshop if you are:
A liberal arts and/or sciences (LSA) student
Interested in learning more about the possibility (and realities) of grad school
Eager for insights that’ll help you determine if advanced study is a step you want to take
Looking for guiding criteria that will help assess if a particular grad program is aligned with your goals
Searching for available resources to assist you through the process

What you’ll gain by attending:
Bolster your understanding of grad and professional schools, admission requirements, and application deadlines
Develop a strategy for identifying grad schools that meet your criteria and a plan for how to stay on top of your applications
Discover resources available to you throughout your prep and application process
Start to think through an approach to writing your personal statement or identify areas of improvement within your existing personal statement
