Grad School Application Resources

In the process of applying to graduate school in computer science, I stumbled on to some resources that I found useful for framing my thinking. These aren’t my own opinions but I generally agree with their thinking.

Professor Shriram Krishnamurthi at Brown – writing letters of rec

Professor Mor Harchol-Balter at CMU – general guidance for the application process

Professor Daniela Witten at UW – opinions on various non-graduate school topics

Professor John Baez at UC Riverside – advice for the young scientist and teaching

Professor J. Michael Steele at Penn – general guidance, one of many rants

Professor Terence Tao at UCLA – career advice with lots of other links

Dr. Jean Yanga series of posts about applying to graduate school along with a variety of other interesting posts
