Online Graduate Directory Launches New Way to Help Future Grad Students
CHESTER, PA, April 30, 2007 - "My first semester was the toughest educational experience I'd ever encountered. Everyone who told me how much I would read, how difficult I'd find the workload and how important time management skills would be, didn't lie to me." This is a quote by Lauren Wojcik, graduate student of civil law.
The Internet's leading resource for graduate school information is trying to make the entire graduate process easier for Lauren and all other current and future students by posting blogs from current graduate candidates. The posts launch today.
GradSchools.com has been giving free information and advice for more than 10 years, and they believe these blogs are the inevitable next step.
"We've had a dedicated staff writing articles for years," said Lori Mitchell, manager of GradSchools.com. "But we've never had real stories written by real students. We can't wait to see how these firsthand accounts positively influence the upcoming crop of grad students."
There are three bloggers telling their graduate school tales, from applying to medical school to juggling schoolwork and a job as a research assistant. Starting today, they will post three times a week, and are given free reign to write about whatever they think would best help future students.
"What's so great about the blog format," Mitchell continued, "is that current and future students can reply to the bloggers and receive immediate answers, thereby creating a helpful dialogue. We really think this will revolutionize the arduous process of preparing for grad school."
