CONVERGE

The CONVERGE mission is to increase the presence of underrepresented and underserved students in MIT's graduate programs. To achieve this goal, CONVERGE hosts a four-day graduate school preview weekend on the MIT campus during the fall. Briefly, the program:

  • Selects candidates who comprise a strong, talented applicant pool
  • Exposes selected students to MIT's graduate programs, facilities, and campus life
  • Connects participants with MIT faculty, staff, graduate students, and other CONVERGE students involved in the graduate school admissions process

Students eligible to apply for the program include juniors, seniors, and recent alumni within one year of applying to graduate school. Interested students should do the following:

  • Check the fall 2009 schedule for a detailed listing of events and activities
  • Review the academic programs brochure to determine your area(s) of interest
  • Download and complete the CONVERGE 2009 application
  • Use CONVERGE background and resources as useful reference material

Successful applicants are notified by email, followed by an acceptance letter, inviting them to attend the fall weekend with all expenses paid.

Please contact the program office with any specific questions you may have about the overall program or your area of interest:
