Every
year, over 200,000 applications are submitted to various graduate programs
around the United States and this number is steadily increasing. The demand for employees with graduate
degrees, the pursuit of higher education, and the desire for better career
opportunities foster this growth in graduate applications; consequently, the
competition for graduate admissions has never been greater. Students are looking for an edge in trying to
improve their qualifications for future success. Very rarely will individuals who have
completed one or more graduate degrees offer insight and knowledge to
undergraduates. Thus, the true essence
of the graduate school admission and application process remains uncertain and
a mystery to many. The Best Damn Professional School Admissions & Applications Seminar solves this mystery for
students while providing clear guidance for graduate school success.
The Best Damn Professional School Admissions
& Applications Talk consists of 10 essential topics which are
applicable to every type of graduate school program. The 2 hour seminar
is split into 100 minutes of lecture material, 10 minutes of question and
answer, and 10 minutes of optional individual or group consultation. This comprehensive seminar is descriptive, interactive, humorous, focused, entertaining, but most of all, applicable for a breadth of students. The ultimate goal of the seminar is to empower students for success in furthering their education.
