Applying to biomedical PhD programs can be both an exciting and overwhelming process. We invite you to join a webinar that will help you find the right programs and demystify the application process.

During this webinar, Dr. Thomas Magaldi, the Assistant Dean at the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in New York City, will provide valuable information that will help you successfully navigate the application process and find programs that will accommodate your needs and scientific interests.

The topics to be covered in this webinar will include:

Getting organized & selecting the right PhD programs

An overview of the components of the graduate school application including personal statements and letters of recommendation

Financial models of how graduate students are supported

Tips for navigating graduate school as a first year (rotations, classes, stipends)

The stuff no one discusses (application waivers, networks, and the “new normal” under COVID-19)
