I wanted to take a gap year and do the PREP program because you’re introduced, slowly, to what grad school would be like while also being able to work in a lab and take only a few grad classes without the stress of a full class load. I 100% believe the PREP program has prepared me for grad school.Lois Randolph, PREP Scholar
