Building Your STEM Masters/PhD Application

Applying to a STEM master’s or PhD program requires more than strong grades and research experience. The strongest applicants know how to connect their academic background, research interests, and long-term goals into an application that makes a clear case for admission. This session is for students preparing for graduate school who want to build a more competitive application. You’ll learn how to approach your statement of purpose, highlight research experience, choose programs strategically, and avoid common application mistakes. Join live to hear from a STEM graduate school expert who has spent the last six years coaching hundreds of students at a large R1 institution through PhD and Master's applications. The speaker will share practical strategies for positioning your academic and research experience, strengthening your application materials, and standing out to admissions committees. Expect actionable guidance you can immediately apply to your own application.
