PANELISTS
Tell us how and why you chose your graduate school and what other graduates schools you applied to.
Applying for graduate school takes a lot of energy, emotional stress, and
proactiveness. More critically, it’s all about networking and perseverance!Martin

ROLE OF ADVISORS
![Page 12: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
THE ROLE OF ADVISERS• Advisers influence academic and emotional mentorship,
funding opportunities, letters of recommendation, employment, etc.
• Students without an adviser might take longer to complete their programs
• Weigh the presence of good advisers heavily with other selection criteria
• Contact potential advisers so that they can leverage their influence to admit you with a good funding package
![Page 13: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ADVISER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIPS• Faculty productivity depends in part on
the quality of their graduate students, especially in the sciences and social sciences
• In humanities graduate students often work in areas that are not connected to their professor’s research and joint publications are rare and less likely to use research assistants
![Page 14: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ATTRIBUTES OF A GOOD ADVISER✔ Career maturity: Look for faculty members who are secured in their field
✔ Tenured faculty
✔ Active in the field: Up-to-date on the latest literature and research methods
✔ Rigor: Has strong foundation on experimental designs, statistics, theory, and etc.
✔ Track record of advising first-generation & low-income students*, and undocumented students
*Peters, pg. 296
![Page 15: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
BEGIN YOUR RESEARCH!
If undergrad, make a list of potential advisers by junior year
To compile your list:
• Ask professors & TAs for names of the top scholars in your field
• Ask faculty members to introduce you to a potential adviser
• Browse different department websites
• Attend conferences, notice faculty who capture your attention
• Read scholarly journals to find faculty doing cutting edge work in your field
![Page 16: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
REACH OUT TO POTENTIAL ADVISERS
• Make intentional contact; let them know your interest in a specific program
• Take a class, an independent study course or work in their labs
• Follow them in conferences, reach out in advance, let them know you admire their work and ask questions
• Do not ask professors general admission questions; ask about their latest publications, conference presentations, etc.
• Once relationship is established, ask if they are taking any students for the upcoming application cycle
• Ask faculty members to refer you to their grad students
![Page 17: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
REFINE YOUR LIST
• Familiarize yourself with the work of the faculty in your list
• This process is vital to help you weave in the work of potential faculty advisers into school applications
• Rule of thumb: select two to three potential advisers per school in case one is not accepting students in a given application cycle, moves campus, etc.
![Page 18: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
LAST WORD OF ADVICE
• Avoid applying to schools without reaching out to advisers and allies first
• It will be difficult to adjust to your program & establish a professional relationships with faculty
• If using a MA program as a springboard to a Ph.D. program, it is vital to maintain an excellent relationship with your adviser
• Reputation of graduate program becomes more important if not going into academia (Peters, pg. 29).

CRAFTING THE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND THE PERSONAL STATEMENT
![Page 33: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE (SOP)
❖Generally, a SOP also referred to as a letter of intent focuses on academic or professional credentials
❖Build a case as to why you are ready to undertake graduate school
❖Write many drafts and ask for help from peers, TAs, and faculty
![Page 34: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
KEY ELEMENTS OF AN EFFECTIVE SOP
❖Introduction➢ Provide a hook that demonstrates passion for the field➢ Transition into your background in the field
❖Past research/work experience and how it influences current research interests➢ Specific classes taken ➢ Professors who you have worked for and are widely recognized in their field➢ Publications & research presentations➢ Demonstrate that you can work independently
![Page 35: NAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL - TheDream.UsNAVIGATING GRADUATE SCHOOL Martha Ortega Mendoza, Seeking a PhD in Education at UC Berkeley Ivonne Beltran, Medical Student at Loyola University](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042306/5ed248780a2a59041e798d28/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
KEY ELEMENTS OF AN EFFECTIVE SOP
❖For highly academic programs, emphasize research experience
❖For practicum based programs, emphasize work experience in the field
❖Research agenda
➢Theorists: relevant scholars, canonical, and/or current discourses in your field that have influenced your research agenda
➢Any relevant teaching/ work/ volunteer experience, specially for Ph.D. programs

PERSONAL STATEMENTS
● Few programs ask for a personal statement, most programs ask for a SOP with the exception of medical school.
● How did your background and life experiences (cultural, ethnic, geographical, financial, educational, religious background) impacted your decision to pursue graduate school in the field at this particular institution?
● Are you a single parent and first-generation student?
● A generic personal statement can also be used to apply to certain fellowships
