S01E04 -- How to Organize an Application to Graduate School and Making Contact




The Unlikely Academic Podcast, The Real Graduate School Experience! show

Summary: In Memory of Dr. Paul Watson Psychology Professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. In this episode, the Unlikely Academics first reflect on the loss of their collaborator, professor, and friend Dr. Paul Watson who recently passed away. The Unlikely Academics shift the topic to discuss methods for identifying potential graduate programs including tips for making contact, organizing information, setting expectations both for you and the program, official and unofficial visits, and getting the information you need to make an informed decision about advisors (in terms of traditional doctorates) and programs (for professional doctorates). The hosts suggest methods for getting all the information to make an informed decision to ensure you not survive but potentially thrive in a graduate program regardless of your background or experience.
