Useful Resources
Pomona's Career Development Office
The CDO is a wonderful resource for prospective graduate students if it is used properly. Refer to the CDO from time to time when you need help with your resume, want a second opinion on your personal statement, or need to check out GRE study books.
What the CDO can do for you:
- Help you create a science resume or CV.
- Give you feedback on your personal statement (however having a professor read your essay is also a good option as they are very familiar with the field you are going into and the graduate application process).
- Connect you with Pomona science alumni in academia or industry.
Some useful resources provided by the CDO:
- Resource guides on interviewing and determining whether you should go to graduate school after college.
- GRE general and subject test study guides.
- Old and practice GRE tests.
- Literature on how to write a personal statement, how to get into graduate school, and how to interview well.
- Graduate program guides listing schools and programs in the US.
