Pre-Graduate School Advising

If you are considering graduate school, it is essential that you talk to people with experience in your chosen field as early as the spring semester of your junior year.  Most of your resident and non-resident tutors in the House are current graduate students and can be a great resource.  They can help you with the application process, choice of institution, and with general wisdom and advice on your field of interest.  In addition, many members of our Senior Common Room are faculty members and administrators at the university and would be valuable resources.

The Lowell Pre-Graduate School Committee exists to connect you with the mentors and information that you need to consider and apply to graduate school. Currently, the Committee is chaired by our resident tutor, Alex Wolitzky.  If you have any questions or need any help, please send him an email at wolitzky@MIT.edu and he will be happy to meet with you and discuss your future interests.

The Committee will be holding periodic Pre-Grad tables in the Dining Hall through the fall and spring semesters. Watch the Lowell House Calendar and Newsletter for dates.

Another valuable resource at Harvard is the Office of Career Services at www.ocs.fas.harvard.edu. Contact Laura Malisheski and Amy Sanford, Assistant Directors for GSAS and PhD advising, 5-2595.
