  and recordings\, which provide much more flexibility. I feel much more con
 fident and prepared to prepare for my graduate studies."</p><p>"I got to le
 arn additional information on applying for scholarship as well as finding o
 pportunities outside for a gap year which are extremely useful. I also got 
 inspired a lot by hearing about other mentors journey and felt grateful for
  any tips they gave about the application process."</p><p>"I loved the oppo
 rtunity to be a part of this program and have tremendous gratitude for my m
 entor\, their kindness and the guidance\, direction and opportunities I was
  presented with."</p><p>"One of the benefits I experienced in this program

 and shares a similar diverse background with me. We can both talk about exc
 iting research topics\, and I can get advice about grad school"</p><p>"As a
 n international student\, I feel very satisfied that programs such as this
