Graduate School Checklist
The following form is designed to aid you in the process of applying to graduate school programs. The application process may be complex and may vary among schools. It is your responsibility to supply the materials and information requested by each individual graduate program by the specified deadlines.

Since procedures, deadlines, and the kinds of materials and information requested vary from school to school, this form is designed to aid you in keeping track of that information. It also provides a system to identify tasks which have and have not been completed in the application process. Use one form per program.
