Abstract
While information on pursuing graduate studies is widely available from both web sources and faculty advisers, many prospective students find a lack of organization and consistency in materials. This article seeks to streamline student preparation by providing a guide to graduate program admissions. In addition, we suggest target completion dates and cite open-source material for further documentation. Further, this article helps structure an approach for prospective students while alleviating the demands on faculty by consolidating the advising process.
