In the first episode of this series, Carla and Ethan talk with applicants, current students, and the great forces who review grad school applications, to make sense of the whole application process. Starting with finding the right program, we hope this series is a helpful resource for anyone who is planning to or thinking about applying to grad programs. A special thanks to Emily Arsenault, Yuki Fujishima, Rodrigo De La Torre, Shannon Schiereck, Maya Hopkins, Rachel Weintraub-Brevda, and Professor David Schoppik for their time and for appearing in this episode.
