Wow, getting through the logicstics of gradschool is not a simple undertaking. There are many tests, forms, things to be submitted, deadlines, papers, abstracts and summaries to write, ... oh yeah, and research to do! So I made this little page to try to keep track of the framework.

• MIT academic checklist.
• Grad Ed Manual.
