Mentorship and Advice for Prospective Students (MAPS)
The Department of Biostatistics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill offers Mentorship and Advice for Prospective Students (MAPS) to provide support and mentorship to Masters and Ph.D. applicants. All prospective students are welcome to participate in this program. Students from groups that are currently and historically underserved in the field of biostatistics are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
The MAPS program allows students to connect with a graduate student volunteer (current UNC Biostatistics M.S./Ph.D. student or post-doc) prior to the application deadline. They can discuss graduate biostatistics training as well as their (biostatistics) application. After the applicant answers a few simple questions and uploads their CV, a volunteer will reach out to the applicant to set up a time to meet, answer questions about their application, provide suggestions, and discuss graduate school more broadly.
