The graduate school application process makes undergraduate college applications seem easy and straightforward. Now you're a graduated 'adult' and its time to put together the pieces for yet another application process, but this time, theres a lot less help laying around. How are you to know what to do?? The Graduate School Planner is here to save the day! I created this after seeing a lot of success with my college planner kit. This planner was truly inspired by ME and my DIRE NEED of organization and help while trying to find a PhD program. This planner, however, is designed to be applicable to all forms of graduate school including (but not limited to) masters programs, law school, and med school. Heres whats inside: 1. Grad program wishlist 2. Potential Advisor Sheet 3. January - December calendars (double sided with lots of organizational stuff on the back) 4. Question Sheet 5. Program Wish List 6. Fellowship Tracker 7. Meeting Notes Sheet (double sided, you'll want to print LOTS of these) 8. Essay Planning Sheet 9. Binder Cover A how to guide for using the planner with a step by step guide is also included. I highly suggest you print out all the pages and make a big and beautiful binder full of info! Heres a blog post on how I use this planner: https://scittles.wordpress.com/2018/09/19/graduate-school-planning-september-update/ Please send me a message if you have any questions! Good luck smarties!
