Graduate School Fair
BSC is hosting a Graduate School Fair Wed. 9/28 from 3-5 pm in Bruno Great Hall. Reps from UAB School of Nursing, UAB School of Health Professions, UAB Dental School, UAB Optometry, VCOM & ACOM (the two Alabama Osteopathic Medical Schools), Mercer U. Health Professions, The Ochsner Clinical School of Medicine, and many other graduate health programs will be there!
Pick at least 3 graduate schools/programs at the Grad school fair that are of interest to you. Talk to a person representing the program and find out more about it. Spend more than 5 minutes with each one, unless it’s really busy of if they seem to brush you off.
Some possible questions (but try to come up with your own as well!):
1. Are there opportunities for Research or Teaching Fellowships/Assistantships or other ways to receive tuition waivers or stipends?
2. How many spots are available for AY 2023-2024?
3. What is the minimum or average, or whatever GPA/MCAT/GRE score?
4. Does having independent research experience make a difference in admission? Be prepared to give an “elevator talk” about your research.
For each of the grad schools, fill out the following:
1. Name of Graduate school
2. Name of Contact
3. Email of contact
4. What important information did you find out about the program?
5. What else did you talk about?
