Who this grad school application tracker is for
This tracker is for students applying to master's, doctoral and professional programs. It suits college seniors, working professionals returning to school and international applicants juggling different deadlines and requirements. Graduate applications involve test scores, transcripts, statements, writing samples, letters and sometimes interviews, often for several programs at once. A single tracker keeps every requirement visible so nothing is missed and recommenders are never rushed.
How to use your grad school application tracker
List programs, track applications, request letters, plan the statement, prepare for interviews, record decisions and use the calendar. List each program with its deadline, fees, requirements and why it interests you. Track every application and its status on the tracker. Request letters early, note who is writing each one and send polite reminders. Plan your personal statement with drafts and feedback. Prepare for interviews with research and practice questions. Record decisions and funding offers to compare side by side, and mark every date on the calendar.
