Start your search through Purdue's Graduate School Site 1. GRE News 2. Graduate School Info 3. Grad School Advertisement 1. GRE News:  GRE practice tests: http://www.mygretutor.com GRE – Graduate Record Exam Purdue administers Subject Tests Only. For GRE general tests please call Lafayette's Sylvan Technology Center at   447-5996. See GRE subject tests dates at Purdue: http://www.purdue.edu/odos/testingcenter/nationaltests.htm Alexei Czeskis suggested the following reading:  http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~harchol/gradschooltalk.pdf   2. Graduate School Info I often send email to students who identified themselves as interested in graduate school. Usually I start a new list in the Spring. Send me and email if you would like to subscribe to that list. Getting Started You should start making plans for graduate school in the second semester of your Junior Year. Here are some relevant websites: Graduate School timeline (pdf) - from USB grad talk Who should go to graduate school? Article by Mathematical Association of America Whether the university you are interested in requires the GRE and/or GRE subject test. Different universities are strong in different areas. Talk to your professors and seek suggestions to what institutions to apply. Check their website for their application requirements. Most applications requires 3 letters of recommendation. These recommendations NEED to come from authorities in the field. Don't ask your advisor for a recommendation. Unfortunately we are not experts in the field. Start working on your statement of purpose. Why do you want to go to graduate school? Ask different institutions what format they want that. Some will prefer a statement and others will want a bullet type of format. Research Experience is of high importance in your application. Make sure you plan on having REU, or research for credit in your late sophomore to early junior year. It is also crucial that you continue with research during your senior year.
