MIT Converge!

Posted on 24. Jun, 2009 by Leshell Hatley in Academia News, News, Opportunities, PhD, Students

MIT's CONVERGE program, a graduate preview weekend held on campus from
October 1-4, seeks to attract candidates from underrepresented and
under-served communities and to offer on-campus exposure to those
interested in pursuing graduate studies at MIT. The deadline for all
applications is August 1, 2009.

Exposure to graduate life and learning are fundamental to the CONVERGE
program. Invitees will have the opportunity to develop faculty contacts
within their primary department of interest, as well as to meet central
office administrators. Applicants must be US citizens, permanent
residents, or attend a US college or university. Students should be
within 1-2 years of attending graduate school, have strong research
skills, a minimum 3.5 grade point average, and have a genuine interest
in obtaining a PhD. Those who are invited to attend this fall preview
weekend will have all their expenses paid.

Applications are currently available online: http://web.mit.edu/converge/

A complete application consists of the following materials:

*application form
*all official undergraduate transcripts
*two (third optional) strong faculty recommendation letters

You may contact Gail Rock (grock@mit.edu) if you have questions or need
additional information.
