    JUNE-JULY 📚 → Research 15-20 programs & create your preliminary list → Take a diagnostic GRE practice test → Start gathering application requirements

    JULY-AUGUST ✍️ → Register for GRE (aim for late Aug/early Sept) → Begin drafting your statement of purpose

    AUGUST 🤝 → Contact 3-4 recommenders for letters → Provide them with your resume & program list → Narrow down to 8-12 final schools

    SEPTEMBER 📝 → Take the GRE (plan for potential retakes) → Complete first draft of statement of purpose

    OCTOBER 📋 → Request official transcripts → Polish your statement with feedback → Send materials to recommenders with deadlines

    NOVEMBER 🚀 → Submit early deadline applications → Follow up with recommenders

    DECEMBER ✅ → Submit remaining applications → Verify all materials received → Thank your recommenders

    💡 Pro Tips:
    • Many programs have made GRE optional post-COVID - check each school's requirements
    • Budget $75-100+ per application
    • Start early to avoid stress!
