Prospective Students

For general application inquiries, reach out to the Graduate School admissions team; for more specific questions related to an individual program, reach out the program’s admissions contact.

We asked our graduate students what piece of advice they would give to prospective students. Here are their tips for you:

“When looking at graduate school, think about the whole person you want to be and what you want to develop. What are the skills outside of the program you want to sign up for, is it the network, is it the community, is it the job prospects in the area?”
– Nadia Sarfraz, Ph.D. candidate in Chemistry

“When looking at a program, it’s not just what you’re going to be learning but who you’re going to be meeting along this journey and the connections that you’re going to be making. Georgetown sets you up very well to make really good connections, not just within Georgetown community and alum but also outside of the university.”
– Micaila Curtis, Ph.D. candidate in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

“Find what you’re passionate about and take the leap!”
– Alex Grant, M.S. candidate in Epidemiology
