You can make an appointment to meet with a pre-grad advisor by calling 215-898-1789.  Questions with a brief answer can be emailed to Peter Stokes at stokespm@upenn.edu.  

There are also resources in the Career Services library such as directories of graduate programs and of fellowships, and guides to applying to graduate programs.
