What to Expect

  • Attendance is required for all 3 mandatory virtual sessions to ensure you get the full benefits of the small-group feedback and coaching:

    • Dates: Sundays — August 16, 23, and 30, 2026
    • Time: 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM EST
    • Format: Live via Zoom
  • This isn't a passive webinar! The sessions are designed to be interactive and high-energy, combining short lectures with live application work time. To make the most of this collaborative environment:

    • Log in on time on a computer or tablet (joining by phone is not ideal)
    • Engage actively with presenter and peers via video and chat
    • Bring your in-progress application materials (if any)
  • This cost-free program is opened to currently enrolled undergraduate students that are part of the EOF program in New Jersey. 

    You do not need to have your application started to join the Jumpstart program; however, it is meant for those who are certain that they will be applying to graduate programs in the next 12 months.
