Join host Dr. Aaron Berger and his GA Karli as they discuss the differences between the old FAFSA and the new FAFSA. They will also talk about the differences between what aid is available for graduate students compared to undergraduate students. We get to learn a little bit about assistantships and how they benefit you if you're able to pursue those opportunities. They also make it plainly clear that they are not financial aid experts!

Are you applying for grad school and they are asking for a goal statement?  What the heck is that?  You think you might know, or maybe you have no idea.  Either way, we have you covered at Gradified.  In this episode, we define what a goal statement is, what its purpose is, and we cover the do's and don'ts of creating an exceptional goal statement.  Aaron also answers a question about time management and finishing your degree.  If you have questions, get those submitted to gradifiedpodcast@gmail.com.

Do you ever feel like you don't belong in the room?  Or that you're a fraud and someone is going to figure it out and the gig will be up?  Is that what is holding you back from applying to graduate school?  Or is that what has you terrified about finishing graduate school?

Joining Dr. Berger is Dr. Kelly Cichy, Associate Professor and Program Coordinator of the Human Development and Family Science Program at Kent State University.  Dr. Cichy also serves as the McNair Scholars Faculty Coordinator and with that role she has led several sessions dealing with imposter syndrome.  They talk about what it is, where it comes from, and most importantly, how to recognize it and deal with it so you can go on to be the best version of yourself.
