What should I bring to this meeting? →[More:]

On Monday, I have a meeting with a professor at UCLA to discuss a PhD program. It's not an interview, and I haven't yet applied to the program. It's just a meeting to discuss a couple of different PhD options, and figure out which is the best fit for me to apply to. What do you think I should bring with me? I plan to have a copy of my resume, just in case, but I can't think of anything else. A copy of my Master's thesis? I can't imagine she'd ask to see it, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to bring it along. If it matters, it's a Psychology in Education PhD program.

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

If it's an informational interview, I wouldn't guess you'd need anything other than that resume copy - and maybe a business card if you have one. In the non-tangible department, you probably need a good solid list of questions to ask, and some idea of what your research interests might be. I bet you already had that, though!

There are some AskMes about this part of the gradschool process. Might be worth a search.

I will shortly be in your shoes - I wish you luck!
