Your Grad School Questions Answered!

Guidance on Applications and Mentorship.

Need help with your graduate school applications?

As we near the end of 2025, we also near the time when applications for graduate school are typically due. Are you looking for advice as you polish your personal statements and ensure your letters of recommendation are in order?

We’ve got you covered!

Special thanks to our team members Edmund Alyn Jones (Director of Communications, Marketing, and Outreach) and Miracle Craft (Undergraduate Volunteer) for creating this video, Your Grad School Questions, Answered! 

In the video, Edmund pitches common questions—including those asked by some of you!—regarding the application process and various components.

Thanking those who pave the way

We know that taking the next steps in our personal journeys, whatever they may be, takes a village. Recently, Dr. Ruvvy shared a ‘thank you’ to all of her mentors who helped her get where she is today.

Looking for a graduate school mentor? Maybe one of these individuals/labs may be a fit for you! Check out our mentorship video to learn about many of the amazing scientists in Dr. Ruvvy’s support network.

Wishing you all the best this application season!

Remember, your degree and career do not define you. You are so much more, and you have so much value to contribute to the world.
