Graduate School Admissions & Exam Prep Planner

Problem it addresses

Graduate school selection often fails because candidates rely on brand name or a single acceptance ratio, while missing undergraduate fit, program strength, city and employment outlook, admission-line trends, and interview risk. Study plans can also become copied schedules without stage positioning, task priority, or a clear way to trim work when progress lags. For students starting in July, preparing while working full-time, switching majors, considering a second attempt, or possibly using transfer admissions, the skill provides a repeatable decision framework.

How it works and boundaries

It turns school choice into a six-dimension scoring model, aggregates candidate schools using default weights, and proposes reach, target, and safety tiers. For exam preparation, it first confirms full-time or part-time status, baseline subject level, and target scores, then maps work to a six-stage calendar with a stage overview, weekly plan, and daily templates. Subject guidance covers politics, English, math, and major courses, plus second-attempt diagnosis and transfer rules. Formal reports should read references/school-selection-matrix.md, references/study-calendar.md, and references/subject-strategies.md so conclusions are grounded in method. The boundary is that it supplies a methodology, not current official data; tuition, quotas, admission lines, and exam subjects must still be checked against the current-year announcements from the official admission platform and the university graduate-school website.
