Here's how you're getting into graduate school (from a Yale grad student)

Are you applying to grad school and feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just unsure of where to start? I was too. That’s exactly why I created this video and channel—to give you the advice I wish I had when I was applying.

I didn’t go to an Ivy League for undergrad. I didn’t take a gap year. I didn’t have a 4.0 GPA. I didn't take the GRE. And still—I got accepted into Yale’s and Duke’s master's programs straight from a public university at 22 years old.
