goin' to the fair, grad-school style

So last fall, when I was first scouting out grad schools, I went to the Idealist.org grad school fair in Philly. Idealist.org's grad school fairs aren't limited to public health- they have representatives from a wide range of social impact graduate programs, plus plent of admissions counselors etc. who helped me start to navigate the scary world of admissions and financial aid.

I highly recommend anyone considering grad school for next year to check out your local fair. It's a low-key event, you can stay as long as you'd like, and it's a great opportunity to get some face time in with admissions counselors without having to travel to the respective schools.

This week the grad schools fairs are being hosted in DC (on the 17th) and NYC (on the 18th). Click below for more details:
