10 Reasons to go to the Graduate School Fair
1- Explore your options: There isn't one "right" path. Even if you aren't thinking about going, the Fair can help you picture yourself where you want to be and different ways to get there.
2- Build your confidence: It takes a lot of confidence and bravery to apply to a Graduate Program. The fair is a great way to take the first step.
3- Network: Even if not applying soon, having relationships with the school and their representatives can go a long way (send them a LinkedIn request after)!
4- Meet your advocates: Ask schools how they support students with different needs. Having advocates and mentors can be key in succeeding in grad school.
5- Learn about funding: Discover scholarships, assistantships, grants, and other ways to help pay for grad school or have grad school PAID for.
6- Understand the application process: Every program has different application requirements and due dates.
7- Freebies: Often schools or organizations will have candy or other goodies available. Practice your elevator pitch with them in exchange for a freebie.
8- Find community: Look for programs that share and develop your passions.
9- Ask the "silly" questions: The fair is a low-pressure first contact with grad school. Ask the question, even if you're afraid. The grad school representatives are there to answer your questions. Plus, there are no silly questions.
10- Gather information for next year: Fairs like these can often be intimidating. However, going in a group can reduce the pressure. Come with us, scope it out, and plan your attack for the next fair!

If you read this far... you have to come with us at this point! See you on Wednesday :)))))
