toward good matches. When you nd interesting articles
or books written by researchers in your eld, look into
programs oered by their schools. When possible, visit
potential campuses and meet faculty and students. You
can also email professors to engage them in intellectual
conversations and ask about their current research.
Build a strong academic record
Many graduate programs require challenging prerequisite
courses beyond those required for a B.S. or B.A. Learn which
courses will help you become a competitive applicant.
Participate in study groups and challenge yourself to earn
good grades. Study for the Graduate Record Examinations
(GRE) or other standardized tests youll need. Scoring well
on these exams can strengthen your application. (Find more
about the GRE on page 9.)
Dont let nances be a deterrent
Many resources are available to help defray the costs of
your graduate education. Plan ahead and apply for funding.
(See page 11 for more about nancing your graduate
education.) Application fee waivers, no-cost and low-cost
GRE preparation courses, exam fee waivers and other
resources are also available to help with the expense of
applying to graduate school. Dont let nances deter you
from applying to multiple institutions and pursuing a Ph.D.
GET SMART

Gearing up for graduate school starts
earlyas soon as your freshman
year. Even if youre well along in your
undergraduate studies, its not too
late to develop a plan. Here are a
few pointers to help you become a
competitive applicant.
Build relationships
Oce hours arent just for times when youre struggling.
Stop in occasionally to talk with your instructors about
their courses and research and to explore ideas youd like
to tackle in graduate school. Even after you complete a
class, continue to stay in touch. Professors can help you
build connections at other universities and provide the
strong recommendations youll need for your graduate
school applications. Also get to know your fellow students,
as well as current graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows. Many people will fuel your interests and academic
development when you keep an open and curious mind.
Gain research experience
Conducting research during your undergraduate years
gives you a competitive advantage by demonstrating
that youre capable of the type of study graduate school
requires. Ask your professors to supervise an independent
project. Take advantage of research opportunities
during the academic year, as well as structured summer
programs, including those on UC campuses. Many
research universities oer summer research programs in all
disciplines, including social sciences and humanities. Visit
their websites to nd opportunities for which you qualify.
Programs are competitive, so apply broadly. Dont worry
about where you do your researchjust do it! (See page 5
for more information on obtaining quality undergraduate
research experience.)
Track your achievements
When you apply to graduate school, you will be asked to
write a statement of purpose, a short essay that highlights
your accomplishments, motivation and goals. Keep track of
your undergraduate research and activities so youll have a
complete list of achievements when you write your essay.
(See page 8 for tips on writing your statement of purpose.)
Find the right programs
Stay open-minded as you investigate the many graduate
programs and campuses that could be a good t for
your research interests. Your professors can point you
Start preparing now

Gain undergraduate
research experience
Carrying out research gives you
valuable skills, knowledge and
expertise. It builds the persistence,
resilience and capacity for hard
work that are necessary for graduate
study. It helps you determine
whether pursuing a research degree
is the right path for you. And if you
proceed, it signicantly strengthens
your applications for admission and
fellowships. Getting as much research
experience as possible will make
you a stronger graduate school
candidateand a better scholar.
Connecting with faculty
Identify topics that interest you, then
nd faculty members at your campus
who are conducting research in those
areas. Department websites and
faculty pages, where you can locate
faculty members bios, curricula vitae
(CVs) and most recent publications,
are great starting points. After reading
their publications and familiarizing
yourself with their work, contact
professors to schedule a meeting.
Share what interests you about
their research, citing any particular
Quality undergraduate research experience strongly enhances your competitiveness
for graduate school. Increase your likelihood of admission by seeking research
opportunities at your home campus or other institutions.
publications, then follow up with a
thoughtful idea or question. After
youve connected intellectually,
express your interest in assisting on
a current project. Provide a rsum
and be prepared to report on previous
experiences, skills and academic
strengths that qualify you to join a
research project. Be realistic about
the number of hours you can commit
without overextending yourself.
And remain positive and persistent
as you seek the right opportunity.
If a faculty member cannot
accommodate you, ask him or her
to suggest colleagues who may be
seeking an undergraduate assistant.
Summer opportunities
Typically eight to 10 weeks long,
summer programs often combine GRE
preparation, professional development
workshops and faculty-mentored
research. Host institutions typically
cover standard expenses, such as
travel and housing, food (meals or
resources to prepare/buy meals) and
provide a stipend, since you will not
be able to work while participating in
the program. In addition to building
your skills, summer research gives you
the chance to become familiar with
institutions you may plan to apply
to for graduate school. Apply widely
to these programs, as you may nd
a great match in an institution you
would not otherwise have considered.
Deadlines vary, so start looking early
and be prepared to submit your
applications as early as December
through early February.
Ongoing relationships
Maintain connections with your
research mentors, who will be
able to write substantive letters of
recommendation for you. Check in
periodically and provide updates about
your academic progress. Your research
mentor(s) will be among your strongest
supporters as you apply to and are
accepted by graduate programs.
Biggest factor in my decision to
attend graduate school: The fact that
I could not get a research position with
a bachelor's degree. The minimum
requirement was a masters, so I took a
friends advice and went for a Ph.D.
Best advice for choosing a graduate
program: Find at least two professors
you want to work with at a particular
UC. Their research should be very
interesting to you. Contact and visit
Luis Martinez, Physics, UC Merced
them if possible before accepting
admittance. Be sure to talk to the grad
students in your lab of interest.
What surprised me: I get so much
attention at UC Merced and have easy
access to amazing professors. Our
small research group and large lab
create a perfect learning environment
for an experimental physicist.

The secret to submitting successful
applications is to create a plan and
stick to it.
Here are a few key tips:
^llow plenLy o Llme or LranscrlpLs,
recommendation letters and test scores to
arrive before each programs deadline.
kead all lnsLrucLlons and ollow Lhem preclsely.
Each school and funding application may have
dierent requirements and deadlines.
^pply early so l Lhere are problems wlLh your
application, youll have time to x them.
Application form
Nearly all applications can be completed online. Each
programs website should list application deadlines, mailing
addresses, GRE institution or department codes and other
information. Carefully read and follow all instructions.
Application fees
Youll be expected to submit a separate fee for each
universityand perhaps each programwhen you apply.
Many institutions, including all UC campuses, oer
fee waivers to applicants based on nancial need or
participation in certain programs, such as McNair Scholars.
Check with each campus graduate division to learn more.
Build strong
applications
Recommendations
Generally, all your letters should be from professors. But if
you have done research or been employed in your proposed
eld of study, a letter from your mentor or supervisor may
also be helpful; check with faculty advisers in the programs
to which you are applying. Request recommendations from
professors in your eld who know you well, think highly of
you and your work, and can attest to your ability to succeed
in the graduate program. Give your recommenders enough
time to provide you with a thoughtful, well-written letter.
Transcripts
Most institutions will require that ocial transcripts be
sent from each institution you have attended, including
any community colleges. You may need to pay a fee for
each transcript. Check with the institutions to which you
are applying to be sure ocial transcripts are required.
If the program explicitly states unocial transcripts may
be submitted, you can save yourself some money.
Graduate Record Examinations
Many programs require you to take the GRE or other
standardized test. Prepare for and take tests early so you will
have time to study and retake them if youre not satised with
your scores. Find more information about testing on page 9.
Statement of purpose
Admissions committees use this important essay to gain
insight into your motivation, competence and potential as
a graduate student. They will also look at it to evaluate your
writing skills. Learn more on page 8.
Personal statement
Some schools may ask you to submit a personal statement
that highlights how you will contribute to the schools
diversity and be an asset to the program. This is dierent
from the statement of purpose. The personal statement
allows you to share your achievements and highlight your
ability to persevere in the face of social, economic or
educational challenges. Learn more on page 8.
Supplemental materials
Some programs allow you to include supplemental
information, such as your rsum, curriculum vitae (CV),
publications or portfolio. Do not include any additional
materials unless the instructions specically state that
they are accepted.
DO IT RIGHT
For tips and ideas that will help you create a strong
application, go to http://ucal.us/gradapply
Draft your
statement of purpose
Create a statement of purpose that
identies you as a good t for the
program to which you are applying
and that illustrates how you will make
a substantial contribution.
Address your audience
Your primary audience is faculty in the program to
which you are applying. Treat your statement of purpose
as an application to work with a specic professor in
that department or scholarly eld.
Summarize accomplishments and goals
Describe your research and how graduate school will help
you reach your career goals, as well as the contribution you
will make to the program. The introduction to your essay
should clearly describe the degree you want to earn and the
topic you want to study. Summarize your undergraduate
accomplishments, including research projects, classes or
work that stimulated your desire for graduate study. If
youve received encouragement from professors in the
program you wish to enter, mention that as well.
Be compelling and clear
The most compelling essays are thoughtful, clear and
concise. Be positive and write using an active voice.
Give specic examples; rather than saying youre a high
achiever, describe a project on which you exceeded a
professors expectations. You can describe a mistake that
taught you a valuable lessonbut dont make excuses.
If your grades suered because of a misfortune, such as
an illness, explain how you persevered.
Solicit feedback
When you have a strong draft, share your statement of
purpose with your professors and ask for their advice.
Sharing your draft also provides an opportunity to visit
with professors so they will know more about you and
your research interests for your recommendation.
Review and customize
Customize your statement for each application you
submit. Carefully review and follow requirements for
each application, as guidelines and instructions vary from
program to program. Typically, your essay should be 1-2
pages, single-spaced, using a 12-point font thats easy to
read. Proofread carefully for typos and grammatical errors.
Craft a
personal statement
Many institutions, including most UC
campuses, require a personal statement,
also called a history or diversity
statement, in addition to a statement of
purpose. Make yours count.
Tell your story
This is your opportunity to expand on your background;
highlight unique experiences, challenges and triumphs;
distinguish your application; and give a committee a more
compelling reason to accept you or oer you a fellowship. If
only one essay is requested, consider incorporating this content
into your statement of purpose. It is in your best interest to
oer supplemental information when given an opportunity.
Describe goals, achievements and challenges
Describe your academic and career goals, highlighting
how graduate school will advance them. Tell how your
personal experiences shaped your aspirations, and dont
shy away fromdiscussing poor grades or large time gaps in your
rsum. Being clear, positive and succinct, address issues that
have had an impact on your education, such as being raised in a
single parent household, working to help support family, thriving
in unsafe environments, persevering with physical or other
challenges or coming froman underrepresented minority group.
Showcase experiences related to diversity
Mention your engagement in programs that increase
participation in science, education, humanities, ne arts
or the social sciences. Examples include undergraduate
academic preparation, diversity and equity programs, higher
education pipeline and summer research opportunities and
mentoring underrepresented students. Explain how your
experiences have deepened your understanding of the
barriers facing ethnic minorities, women, non-traditional
students and others underrepresented in higher education.
Highlight research you have conducted that addresses
underserved populations; issues of race, gender, diversity
and inclusion; disparities in health, educational access and
achievement; human rights; or questions of interest to
historically underrepresented groups. Mention artistic and
cultural works you have produced or participated in that
reect diverse communities or voices not well represented
in the arts and humanities.
Draw on your unique background to present yourself
as an ideal candidate for the graduate program to which
you are applying.

Take the GRE
Although some admissions and
fellowship committees may use test
scores to help evaluate your academic
ability, remember that exams are only
one part of your complete application.
Dont stressprepare!
Test requirements
Most, but not all, graduate programs require you to take
the GRE (Graduate Record Examinations). Some programs,
such as those in math, literature and some sciences, may
also require a paper-based GRE Subject Test. If youre
applying to certain professional programs, you may need
to take a dierent standardized test, such as the Law
School Admission Test (LSAT), the Graduate Management
Admission Test (GMAT) or the Medical College Admission
Test (MCAT).
About the GRE
The GRE General Test is oered throughout the year.
This computer-based test has three sections: verbal
reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing.
The paper-based GRE Subject Tests, given in October,
November and April, are oered in the following areas:
Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology; Biology;
Chemistry; Computer Science; Literature in English;
Mathematics; Physics; and Psychology.
Preparation
Allow time to study for the exam. You can nd study
guides and sample tests in bookstores, in libraries or
online. Ask your campus graduate division and other
resources about free or low-cost workshops or courses
that may be available.
Apply for a fee waiver
If you cant aord to take the GRE, contact your campus
nancial aid oce for information on fee waivers.
Report your scores
Arrange for your test scores to be sent to all institutions to
which you are applying. Many program websites list their
GRE institution or specic department code, which youll
need to order additional score reports.

Biggest challenge in choosing a graduate program:
Deciding which place was going to be most supportive
of my research and of me as a woman from an
underrepresented populationa private East Coast
institution, or UCLA. The many support systems in place
at UC in general, and UCLA more specically, were
ultimately the reason I chose UCLA for my Ph.D. program.
Best advice for hopeful PhDstudents: It is very
important to make yourself known in advance of the
application deadline! Arrange to speak and/or meet
with a broad spectrum of people from your prospective
department/program (faculty, students, alumni, etc.).
What Imlooking forward to: Working with rst-
generation undergraduate students at UC Davis, where
I will be teaching. I beneted from several programs
myself as a rst-generation student, so its good to
give that back and show a successful trajectory from
undergraduate to graduate to postdoc to tenure-
track faculty member. I feel incredibly fortunate and
supported along the way, and I hope to do that for
other students.
11
Chart a course
for success
If you havent graduated yet
Strive for A grades in your remaining
classes, particularly those related to
your intended area of study. Repeat
classes to boost poor grades. Note
your increased GPA in your statement
of purpose, and inform your faculty
recommenders of any positive changes.
Research experience can greatly
enhance admission opportunities. Get
involved in a formal research program
or faculty-directed independent study
at your home or another institution.
If youre concerned about your
performance on a standardized test,
take a test preparation course, and be
sure to complete the practice exams.
If appropriate, take steps to improve
your writing skills through additional
coursework or extracurricular
experiences. By demonstrating both
initiative and improvement, you will
impress admission reviewers and boost
the quality of your papers, theses,
proposals and dissertation.
If you are a re-entry student or had
a break in your education, use your

statement of purpose to focus on the
skills you acquired while not in school.
These skills may contribute to your
knowledge base and be given positive
regard by admissions committees.
If you have already graduated
and wish to obtain a Ph.D., you may
need to complete a masters degree
rst. Ask for guidance from faculty
advisers (at institutions from which
you would like to obtain a Ph.D.)
regarding pursuing a masters degree.
Seek admission to a masters program
with a good reputation, preferably with
a research/thesis component. Aim for
a 3.5 GPA or higher. Complete a thesis
you will be proud to write about in
your Ph.D. applications. Get to know
M.A./M.S. professors who might write
letters of recommendation for you.
You also can enroll in classes as a non-
matriculating student at a university
oering course credit. Ask the Graduate
Admissions Chair in your intended
graduate program(s) which upper
division or graduate level classes might
increase your potential for admission.
Focus on obtaining A grades, and
inform the Admissions Chair of your
progress. If you cant get advice on
specic classes, enroll in foundational
courses that will expand your knowledge.
And seek out research opportunities
that will enable you to gain new skills,
obtain advanced knowledge and show
commitment to future study.
Round out your strategy for
admission by getting creative.
Volunteer to conduct research with
a faculty member from your alma
mater. Participate in an internship
that enables you to work on an
academically focused project. Take
classes to increase your skills in areas
needing improvement. Seek advice
from graduate students enrolled in
your proposed area of study. Or nd an
academic mentor who might guide you
through a pathway to Ph.D. enrollment.
Remember that people reach their
destinations by a wide variety of
pathways. If you cannot travel directly
to where youd like to be, take the
road with a couple of turns. You
may be wiser from the journey while
ultimately reaching your destination.
Many funding opportunities are
available for graduate students. Plan
ahead by exploring the dierent types
and their requirements. And dont
miss the application deadlines: Most
extramural fellowship applications are
due before university applications.
Helping graduate students fund their education is a top
priority for the University of California. Our students are
among the top recipients of prestigious extramural awards,
and our campuses provide a wide range of university and
departmental support.
Fellowships
Like undergraduate scholarships, many fellowships are
based on academic merit. Fellowships usually cover
tuition and fees, and provide a stipend to help cover your
living expenses. Fellowships do not have to be repaid. Of
course, youll be expected to maintain a specic level of
academic achievement in your graduate studies. Generally,
fellowships fall into two categories: extramural and
university fellowships. Apply for both types of funding.
Extramural fellowships
Extramural (also called portable or transportable)
fellowships are highly desirableand competitive
because they usually allow you to attend any university
or program you choose and may provide a high level of
multi-year funding. Learn more on page 12.
University fellowships and awards
University fellowships typically oer a stipend and
additional nancial support covering tuition, fees and
health benets. Most institutions, including all UC
campuses, oer various university fellowships, which
support a diverse academic community. It is important to
submit the institutions fellowship application when you
apply for admission to each campus. Be sure to note the
deadline to be considered for admissions and fellowships;
some programs have admission-only deadlines, and these
applications are not considered for university funding.
Need-based aid
Most graduate students also qualify for need-based aid,
including work-study employment and subsidized loans.
To be eligible for need-based aid, you must submit the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In
California, the deadline is March 2 to qualify for funding
the following academic year. Submit your FAFSA online
at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Teaching and research assistantships
You may qualify for funding as a UC departmental
teaching assistant (TA) or research assistant (RA), working
for a professor to gain valuable experience. As a TA, you
will assist with a course during the academic year. You
may lead discussion sections and hold oce hours to help
undergraduate students with course material. RAs conduct
lab, studio or eld research.
School employment
Many UC campus programs and oces reserve positions
for graduate students. Opportunities range from
administrative intern to residence hall counselor to
undergraduate tutor.

Biggest challenge inchoosing a graduate
program: The hardest part was trying
to gure out the application protocol.
Instead of just sending in your application,
you need to develop relationships with
potential advisers. Navigating the formal
and informal parts of the application
process was challenging.
Biggest factor in my graduate school
decision: I missed doing science and
wanted to position myself for a career
in which I could conduct research and

and program were important to me,
but it really came down to nding the
right t with my mentor.
Howgrad school is dierent from
undergrad: Its messier and more
creative. A lot of the learning takes
place in less structured environments
than the classroomrunning out to
estuaries, tromping in the mud, looking
at organisms, nding questions that
Im interested in answering.
One of your biggest questions
probably is, How will I pay for this?
Extramural fellowships are among the
best places to look for funding.
Most extramural fellowships can be used at any
university or program, which is why they are
sometimes called portable fellowships. These
awards include prestigious national fellowships,
such as the National Science Foundation Fellowship
and Ford Foundation Fellowships. There are also
many other types of fellowships, totaling hundreds
of options that span a wide range of disciplines
and funding amounts.
Of course, an extramural award helps pay for
graduate school, but these fellowships are
advantageous for other reasons, too. They also
provide you with the most exibility when its time
to select your institution. Plus, many extramural
fellowships are prestigious. Receiving one is a
signicant achievement that will strengthen your
academic rsum.
Some extramural merit fellowships also target
specic types of students, such as underrepresented
minorities and women. There are hundreds of
public and private fellowships, each with dierent
requirements, so do your homework and apply for
all for which you qualify.
How can you investigate so many possibilities?
Ask current graduate students and faculty
about possible fellowship opportunities. Explore
online resources, such as UCLAs Graduate and
Postdoctoral Extramural Support Databasebetter
known as GRAPESwhich provides information
on more than 500 public and private fellowships.
You dont have to be an applicant to a particular
institution to use these convenient resources;
anyone can access these databases.

Why I chose UC: Im from the East Coast, and the
UC system gave me the chance to learn new styles
of thought and to work across the country. The large
size of my department also enabled me to learn from
many dierent professors and to take tools from their
disciplinary trainings to use as a doctoral student.
Biggest factor in my choice: Funding was a major
concern. Im a strong advocate for working on
campus to oset the expense of a higher degree.
Luckily, the UC system oers many opportunities
and benets for incoming graduate students.
Biggest challenge: Choosing a program that would
give me enough expertise in the areas I was already
studying in graduate school while also providing
enough exibility in case my interests changed
(which they have!).
What Id do dierently: I wish I had looked more at
the departments academic program and gotten a head
start on some of the coursework while an undergrad.
I dont think you can learn statistics too many times!
Advice for future graduate students: Applying to
graduate school is something to think about early-on in
an undergraduate career. Building great relationships
with professors and TAs is crucial to having strong
letters of recommendation and obtaining their
advice about programs you might pursue.
