METAS Summer Grad School Conference
The METAS Summer Grad School Conference: Writing your Application will provide the foundation and resources for a competitive graduate school application. Designed with you in mind, sessions will offer the opportunity to work on parts of your application, so you can get a head start!
Why this summer conference? Competitive students start their applications at least 6 months in advance of the graduate program deadline. For doctoral (Ph.D.) programs, that start date is June 2022; for master's programs, that start date is July- August 2022. So, the time to plan is NOW!
Hosted by UROC, the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center in partnership with the CLC, Cooperative Learning Center you will have dedicated workshop time to work on and get feedback on various parts of your application.
In the 3-day conference, you will:
- Build a realistic timeline for graduate school applications;
- Strategize letters of reference;
- Outline your personal statement;
- Learn about the GRE test for admissions;
- Learn about funding structures in graduate school.
Enrollment is capped at 30 participants. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
