Interest Form - Pre-Application Mentorship Service (PAMS) 2024
The Pre-Application Mentorship Service (PAMS) application is currently closed. However, for PAMS 2024, please complete the form below if you are interested in being notified of the application period opening.  We anticipate the application for PAMS to open by mid-September 2024. Please check back regularly for updates throughout the summer!

The Pre-Application Mentorship Service or "PAMS" is a graduate student-led initiative to support students from historically marginalized groups who are interested in applying for grad school but have questions about where to start!  The campaign typically runs during Fall quarter.

Target Audience: The goal of PAMS is to support prospective PhD applicants from historically marginalized groups. The definition of who is historically marginalized is specific to a region and context. This can include students with disabilities, students marginalized along axes of gender/race/ethnicity/sexuality, students from low socioeconomic status, intersections of these groups, and others.

PAMS 2024 is designed for prospective applicants to the Ph.D. program at the University of Washington’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering (UW CSE).

PAMS is designed to answer questions like:

What is grad school like?
What is it like being a grad student at the Allen School?
What experiences or topics should I highlight for my statement of purpose?
Who should my letters of recommendation come from?

Participation in PAMS is completely voluntary and is separate from the official Ph.D. application process and therefore does not guarantee admission to the Allen School. Your mentor will not review your official application, and participation will not be disclosed to the admissions committee or faculty. Information will be aggregated and anonymized to evaluate the impact of this program, but individual responses will be deleted at the end of this application cycle.

If you have specific questions about PAMS after you have  completed the form, please email lsessoms@cs.washington.edu with “PAMS” in the subject heading.
