Grads Advising Graduate Admissions (GAGA)
I’m an active member of the Grads Advising Graduate Admissions (GAGA) group in the MIT Department of Physics, whose role is to provide the grad student perspective and advice on the admissions process. During the 2024-2025 academic year, I served as one of the co-chairs of GAGA. As part of GAGA, I help run the Physics Graduate Application Assistance Program (PhysGAAP), which aims to provide additional information and help to prospective applications to the MIT Physics PhD program. This program consists of yearly webinars, held in the fall and the recordings posted here, drop-in office hours with current MIT Physics PhD students, and a 1-on-1 mentorship program for students to get individualized help on their application. You can read more about this initiative on our website or in this Astrobite.
