Diversity and Inclusion

The BMI Training Program Admissions Committee takes seriously its responsibility to recruit and retain diverse students who are representative of our world. We view each application from the life perspective of the applicant. We strongly encourage applications from traditionally underrepresented groups, those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and those with disabilities. The Biosciences application has fields where applicants can self-identify and provide relevant context and background, including in the area labeled “Contributing Factors to the Stanford Community” and in the Personal Statement.

We would like to make applicants aware of the following Stanford programs and resources:

BMI Peer-to-Peer Application Mentoring Program

BMI Peer-to-Peer Application Mentoring Program

The BMI Peer-to-Peer Application Mentoring Program is a student organized initiative that strives to assist individuals who:

  1. Identify as part of one or more groups that are historically underrepresented in STEM and
  2. Are applying to the BMI PhD or MS program. 

Participants may receive one round of feedback on their statements of purpose, up to the limit of our time and resources. Participation does not guarantee nor increase chance of admission. 

To participate in the BMI Peer-to-Peer Application Mentoring Program please fill out this form. The deadline to submit your statement of purpose is will be announced in fall of 2023.
