We are here to support you throughout the process of planning and preparing for professional
and graduate school.
Pre-Professional & Graduate Advising
Let us help as you prepare for your eventual application to graduate, law, medical
or another health professional school. Whether it is making sure you are taking the
appropriate courses, want to figure out how to fit study abroad into your college
career, or are looking for undergraduate research opportunities, we can discuss your
options and direct you to the appropriate resources. You have unlimited opportunities
at UofSC and we can help guide you through the sea of information.

Exposure to your intended profession is especially important for all health care professions,
and we offer theMedViewshadowing program as a great way to get connected. For more shadowing opportunities,
go toPrisma Health's Workforce Development office.
When it comes time for you to start applying to professional school, our office will
guide you through the process. With some of the instruction manuals for applications
being over 100 pages, it will be nice for you to get answers to typical questions
with a simple email or phone call to the Office of Pre-Professional and Graduate Advising.
Many applicants do not know what to include in a personal statement or do not know
how to get started. If you need help determining a good statement topic, complete
the personal statement reflection questions, gather your resume, and schedule an appointment
with an advisor. Through questions and reflection, you will likely leave with several
ideas.
If your professional or graduate school requires a personal interview, it is wise
to prepare well in advance. A mock interview provided by one of our advisors will
help identify your strengths and weaknesses in interviewing. We also have many resources
to help you through this sometimes anxiety-provoking time. To schedule a mock interview
email Eileen Korpita.

We can help you decide if an advanced degree is the right choice for you. We also
offer tools for research and self-analysis as well as all the services listed above.
Take these steps to get started:
Make an appointment with Mark Brown, graduate school advisor, to talk about your choices.
