The McNair program was a key aspect of my success in understanding, applying to, and choosing a graduate program. Between the camaraderie of my cohort, the guidance of my mentors, and support of the program administrators, I felt motivated and fully prepared to apply to and choose a graduate school. The McNair program at Truman is rigorous and requires devotion, but I am grateful for the time and dedication all of those in the program invested in me and my future success. After graduating in December of 2016, I received offers for fully funded positions in biology graduate programs at all eight institutions to which I applied.
