Congratulations! By submitting graduate school applications, you have reached a major milestone on your path to an advanced Science Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) degree. In 2021, there were 2.4 million applicants to graduate programs, representing an 8.7% increase over 2020 (1). For historically excluded individuals, the percent change in enrollment from 2020 to 2021 was 9%, suggesting at minimum, they represent 9% of all applicants (1). With rising applicants, distinguishing yourself during the interview will be key to gaining admittance into your dream graduate program. Here, we provide practical tools to help you prepare for and navigate successful graduate school interviews. Historically excluded individuals face many challenges that prevent them from obtaining higher education, including the lack of strong institutional commitments to mentoring, diversity, inclusion, and equity (2–4). As such, there is a dearth of Black and Latin scholars in STEM disciplines, including cardiovascular physiology. Thus, while this guide is intended to help them, it is relevant to all applicants.
