Howdy everyone!
Hope you're doing well and ready to kill your applications.
SNAAP is a program that was initiated last year by graduate student and post-doc volunteers in the Stanford neuroscience community. For the 2021-22 cycle, we are pairing prospective neuroscience PhD students with 1 on 1 mentors (as best we can, number of mentors might be a limiting factor) to work on application material review, interview prep, expectation setting, and general tips and tricks. We also intend (later on) to run ask-me-anything style panels and host office hours for drop-in help and mock interviews (these were very well received last year). Find out more and sign up by visiting us on Twitter @Stanford_AAP and navigating to our website.
The goal of SNAAP, broadly, is to provide support in navigating the application process to those who may have little or no support otherwise. We have many more prospective mentees than mentors so far this year, so please assess your need. ❤️
All information shared with SNAAP mentors will be kept confidential. Participation in SNAAP is not a requirement for admission to any Stanford program. Participation in SNAAP will not guarantee admission to any Stanford program. It's not required that Stanford is your top choice or that you're even applying to Stanford to participate in this program. All advice given by SNAAP mentors are opinions informed by our experiences, but there's no one "correct way" to approach the application process.
