WHAT I WISHED I KNEW BEFORE ATTENDING THE HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION [HGSE]

I attended the Harvard Graduate School of Education during the 2015-2016 academic year. At that time, I was pursuing a Master of Education in Education Policy and Management. Aside from the website and the admissions office, I had no one to help me best prepare and maximize the opportunities at HGSE. In this video, I share with you 7 things I wish I knew before attending HGSE. These are advice and tips that I wish someone would have told me.

WHO AM I?

I am a Harvard Graduate School of Education alumni '16 and a current PhD student in the Department of Education Studies at the University of California San Diego. I produce videos about the graduate school application and my journey through a PhD program. Subscribe to follow my journey through the PhD experience and to gain insight on how to best prepare for the graduate school application process.

I created this channel because I did not have access to many resources when I was applying for graduate programs. Now that I have been through two graduate school application processes, I want to share my knowledge and the helpful information I have gained through those experiences.

Additionally, for the past four years, I have been working as a Retention Specialist and Director for a federally-funded program at a higher education institution. I spent these four years helping over 400 students to apply to four-year institutions, attain scholarships, and navigate the higher education system. I created this channel in order to share my knowledge of college access as it pertains to graduate school.
