Prospective PhD Preview (P3)

The 2020 P3 application is now closed. Applications for the 2021 Program will open in the Spring of '21.

The Prospective Ph.D. Preview (P3) is designed for prospective students to gather information on graduate education at Princeton University. This event is open to any interested students however, we highly encourage participation from first generation/low income students and historically underrepresented groups (which include African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans) given the disparity in graduate education across the country.

P3 invites the class of 2021 and 2022, and post-grad students from historically underrepresented groups (HUGS), to explore graduate education at Princeton in the fall 2020!

The P3 Program will include:

Interaction with current Princeton Graduate students from various divisions
Opportunities to engage with Princeton faculty
Graduate admissions and funding workshops

Tour of the Princeton Campus and Graduate student housing
Travel, meal, and lodging costs will be covered

*Due to current regulations and restrictions, the 2020 P3 program will be held in a virtual setting.
