68. How to Recognize and Ask for Help in College

In this episode I ask a simple, but important question: How are you really doing?

This question matters because you have to be able to recognize that you need help in order to actually starting asking for it.

I'll also be doing a Q&A soon - what questions do you have about college? About life? About your future? About your college? Send them to Instagram @thecollegelifecoach or email me at [email protected]

Sending you love!

Go out and Make College Yours.

67. How to Get Into Graduate School and Get it Paid For

In this episode, we talk about all things getting into graduate school AND all the ways you can get graduate school paid for. If you have questions, or aren't sure about something I said, let's talk! 

Things to consider in the process of applying to graduate school: 

#1 - Explore what you want to do next (not necessarily forever) 

#2 - Explore programs - locations and different types 

#3 - Explore professors 

#4 - Create a timeline and know your deadlines 

#5 - Study for a take the GRE: https://www.ets.org/gre

#6 - Get your letters of recommendations 

#7 - Tell your story with your personal statement 

#8 - Resume 

#9 - Transcripts 

#10 - Writing Sample (for some programs, not all) 

#11 - Interviews 

#12 - Make a decision 

**One thing I forgot to mention - look at different programs and see which ones actually do offer assistantships and ask how you can be competitive for them. It gives you an idea of what you need to do! 

If you want an example of the GRE book I used, I recommend something like this: https://amzn.to/2MwRzKI or https://amzn.to/2MHe7IQ
