Choose the Right Supervisor for Your Goals
For many students, a successful application period can introduce new challenges. When you’re in the position of choosing between two different paths, how do you decide which one will best support your goals?
Developing the Criteria for Identifying Your Best Path
In this episode of The Advancement Spot, I was pleased to be joined by Stephanie Sansone, a VIP Apply Yourself member who has been with us since day one through Mastering Academic Applications and The Success Society. During her graduate school application period, Steph was not only accepted to her top school but highly sought after by multiple grad school supervisors — an impressive feat!
Listen now to learn how she faced the challenge of choosing between two supervisors, and where she found the invaluable support that helped her confidently move forward with her decision.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- The due diligence process that helped Steph settle on the ideal supervisor and institution for her career goals and mental health
- Steph’s tried-and-tested advice for students who are choosing between multiple supervisors
- How to conduct research in a way that allows you to more easily retain and apply what you’ve learned (and when it’s okay to use Google!)
- How the learning process differs from undergrad to grad school — and why you must remain open to “learning how to learn”
- The mindset shift that will allow you to give yourself grace and experience growth during your academic journey
