Calling all McNair Alumni, Scholars and Family,
As you may know, one of the many opportunities and resources we provide for our scholars is GRE preparation. We are currently updating the McNair GRE Advice section on the Winthrop McNair webpage and would love your input!

Please take a moment to review the existing advice and email the Graduate Assistant with your suggestions on what should remain, what could be removed, and what new advice might be helpful to include.

All feedback is welcome and appreciated!
You can reach us at [email protected]

Thank you for your continued support!
