University of Washington Early Identification Program

It's never too early to start planning for graduate school! This page provides information and links that you will find useful in your search for: the right graduate school; assistance with the graduate/professional school application process and test preparation; and funding sources (fellowships, scholarships, grants).

Test Preparation

Most graduate and professional programs require students to take a standardized test, much like the SAT for college, as part of their applications: GRE for graduate school, MCAT for medical school, LSAT for law school, and GMAT for business school.

GO-MAP (Graduate Opportunities and Minority Achievement Program)

GO-MAP (http://www.grad.washington.edu/gomap/default.htm) is a division of the University of Washington's Graduate School. GO-MAP's mission is to promote greater access to advanced studies for students of color and traditionally underrepresented groups. Aside from supporting UW graduate students both personally and professionally, GO-MAP offers scholarships for UW graduate and professional students, holds events throughout the year, sponsors lecture series and symposia, and supports student participation in national conferences. GO-MAP also co-sponsors many EIP events, including the Annual Spring Research Conference held every May.

You can contact GO-MAP for information or questions at gomap@u.washington.edu.
