Hello there. So I am currently an MA student and I plan to apply for doctoral programs this coming fall. When I was applying for MA programs I realized how few resources there were for Dreamers seeking answers for basic questions on the admission process, let alone the actual working of graduate programs. There are a few support groups like GRADD, but frankly the current resources provided are minimal.

I hope to remedy this by doing a systemic survey of research universities in the coming months to address the following three points:

*Admissions Process (Do we apply as international students? When do we submit the AB540 form? Are we even welcomed to apply? etc. etc.)
*TA/RA ships (Are we eligible to work for the university as graduate assistants?)
*Access to university fellowships


I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining me in this endeavor. The work should consist of just making a few emails and calls; nothing too taxing. Throw me a private message if you're interested in helping out.

I'll post the initial draft of my survey up here once I get some concrete results.
