By Mike, IvyWise Academic Advisor As a former academic advisor and faculty member at a public college, I often found that this question struck fear in the hearts of first-year college students, turning a conversation about potential majors into an existential identity crisis. In high school, the conversation around college majors and career paths is typically held within the lens of graduation or college admission requirements and fails to give the requisite time to answer such a big question in a thoughtful and informed manner. If students are lucky, their high school might have one or two courses related to career exploration.

If grad school is in your future, it’s important to have ample preparation and support in order to have the best chance of admission to your best-fit programs. Many prospective graduate students start the graduate admissions journey while still completing their undergraduate degree. For those current college students preparing for the graduate admissions process, guidance from an academic advisor can put you on the right path to achieving your graduate education goals.

By Indhika, IvyWise Academic Advisor Whether you are an international relations or biology major, meaningful global experiences can have a positive impact on your academic and personal growth. Going abroad can broaden your perspectives, deepen your understanding of your chosen discipline, bolster your professional development, and strengthen your resume for graduate school and job applications. When exploring different options to go abroad, reflect on how opportunities connect to your academic training, career goals, and co-curricular profile.
