Workshop Session 2: What works TODAY to ensure the most selective grad programs consider YOU?

What works TODAY to ensure the most selective grad programs consider YOU? 

Doctoral programs are becoming more selective, and it’s getting more difficult to make one’s application stand out. This workshop takes a social-psychologically grounded approach & presents specific recommendations that will strengthen your application, through a) engaging your local network of mentors in a ‘conspiracy’ to get you into graduate school, and b) more effectively researching graduate programs and faculty.
