Considering Graduate or Professional School?Check out some tips for beginning the Application Process!
Are you interested in Graduate or Professional school? As you explore programs and get started on the application process, here are some useful tips to keep in mind!
Take time to find the right program fit!
Is there something in your major or academic program that’s drawing you to consider applying to graduate or professional school? Don’t be afraid to start the conversation with advisors or professors in your academic department to start to think about pathways that might be right for you. UMBC faculty were once where you are right now, and will undoubtedly have great insight about the process or connections to programs that might interest you. Use your networks to your advantage!
Once you research programs that interest you, try to visit those schools – check out in-person and virtual admissions/recruitment events put on by the institutions and connect with the campus. You’ll have the opportunity to explore how the campus is laid out and learn about the surrounding area, housing options, and the studio/classroom/lab facilities. Ultimately, you should be asking yourself, “how is the campus and does it seem like the type of environment I would like to spend time in?”
You’ll also have the chance to connect with program directors, faculty and current graduate students. You’ll want to consider whether or not the program has a professor who shares your research areas of interest. And meeting current students is especially important if your program will use a “cohort” model – meaning you will work with the same people throughout the duration of the program.
Finally, take time to research class options – some programs will provide more flexible schedule options including evening, weekend or online classes, while other programs may be more traditional and have classes throughout the day.
Graduate Admissions
The majority of graduate and professional programs will require you to complete an entrance exam, similar to taking the SAT or ACT when applying to UMBC. See below for which exam you might be expected to take:
Medical School: MCAT (Medical College Admission Test)
Pharmacy School: PCAT (Pharmacy College Admission Test)
For graduate programs in the Visual or Performing Arts (such as Master of Fine Arts programs), you might need to prepare for an audition or portfolio submission of creative work as well. It’s important to research all the components necessary for any application and make sure you start the application process early!
Letters of Recommendation – ask early and ask people who know you best!
Most applications to graduate or professional school will require you to submit letters of recommendation. Your recommenders should be individuals who know you well, such as a professor who taught you in several courses or a research mentor.
Start by setting up a meeting to ask for a recommendation, which will help emphasize how important the letter is to you and give you the chance to provide context and answer questions your prospective recommender might have.
Allow at least two months prior to the deadline to give your recommenders enough time to complete the recommendation.
Funding Graduate or Professional School
Another important aspect to consider is how exactly you will be funding your graduate or professional school program. The UMBC Career Center does a great job at breaking down the different components associated with funding your graduate education. It’s important to make sure you understand if there are scholarships, grants, financial aid or graduate assistantships available through the program you are exploring.

Name: Daniel Cleaver
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE)
Position Title: Emerging Techlologies & Innovation Co-op
Major or Program: Computer Engineering
Current Class Level: Junior
Work Term: Spring 21, Summer 21, Fall 21
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
I developed a dashboard for BGE's innovation team, introduced time savings, improved task efficiency, and most importantly, gained new insights into our program. I participated in engaging employee training events and worked hands-on with BGE/Exelon's innovation teams.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I received an email announcement from the UMBC Career Center that BGE was looking for a Spring 21 co-op, and they were specifically interested in undergraduates in my field. I was not planning to co-op during that semester, but I decided to apply anyway.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
I enjoyed learning how to use Microsoft Power BI and being able to immediately apply those skills to a real-world project.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I built, and continue to update, a dashboard that my team uses throughout the day. This has improved our process, and even started conversations with BGE's sister utility companies about similar efforts.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Go for it! Be flexible with job descriptions and assignments, don't feel bad for not being an expert overnight, and remember you are there to learn.

The Office for Academic and Pre-Professional Advising, in collaboration with the Academic Success Center, here at UMBC, have created academic probation workshops for students who are currently facing academic warning and academic probation here at UMBC. The purpose of this workshop is to inform students what it means to be on academic warning/probation, understand challenges and barriers to academic success, and identify campus resources to support with getting off of probation. Also, students will learn tangible skills for calculating their GPA and what grades are needed to return to positive academic standing.
Workshops will be held:
Thursday, September 23rd - 2:30 PM - 3:30PM (Registration HERE)
Spots are limited to 20 students per workshop! Please be sure to use the link above to register TODAY! Once your registration is received we will send you the link to access the workshop.
We encourage students to register today using the link above. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Carlos Williams (carlosw@umbc.edu) or Monique Ransom (mransom@umbc.edu)

Rowe Price!
Name: Nozima Parmanova
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: T. Rowe Price
Position Title: Global Technology Intern
Major or Program: Major: Computer Science, Minor: Math
Current Class Level: Senior
Work Term: Summer 2021
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
This past summer, my internship was virtual, and I had the opportunity to work with two different teams in my department. My day-to-day activities included joining different types of meetings and events throughout day as well as working on my coding assignments. Every morning I would join the agile stand-up meeting, where everyone on the team would share updates regarding their current assignments. This was a great time for me to get an understanding about the business side of the team. In the afternoon, there were ‘office hours’ where all the software engineers on the team would help each other as needed. That was a great time for me to ask questions, but I also talked with my tech supervisor throughout the day to get feedback and guidance.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I started researching internship programs last fall semester. I applied to T. Rowe’s Global Technology Internship in early December and heard back around January. First, I had a phone interview with a recruiter. After that, I had a video interview with my current manager and team leaders.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
My favorite part about my position was meeting so many great people. I had the opportunity to network with many people from different teams and ask them about their experiences. Everyone was so willing to help and provide perspective.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Start preparing early! Most applications are due before you realize it. Get your resume reviewed as soon as possible and always keep it updated. Start looking for applications early in the fall semester and in the meantime prepare for interviews. Scheduling a mock interview is a good way to figure out what you need to improve on. By the time recruiters reach out to you, you’ll be ready for the interview.
