Not Ready to attend Graduate School? Here is some advice from K Alums
“These past few years have been a period of self discovery – I started painting, something I never thought I would have enjoyed, and I have been working at a childhood eating behavior and obesity study at the University of Michigan. I am writing to you because I am finally feeling ready to apply to graduate school again (after taking a significant amount of time off of school). I’ve come to realize I was fully ready back in 2012, but I feel prepared now.”
“There are tons of AmeriCorps programs all over the US doing all kinds of jobs. AmeriCorps is a great option because they freeze student loans for the 10 months you work for them.”
Move to Chicago! It’s a great learning experience and there will likely be a lot of people you know in the area.”
“Talk to K alums about what they did to get ideas and connections.”
“Take a year off, get a mindless job (or serious one) to let your mind rest for a while and take a little time to learn a thing or two about yourself that you didn’t have time for while in school!”
