Hi everyone,
I'm a rising junior and I have been advised by a couple of professors to start contacting potential graduate school PI's now. (I go to a smaller university and really know these professors on a personal level, so I trust their advice.) However, I'm beginning to feel overwhelmed by the process of looking for schools and programs, and then looking at all of the faculty's research interests, and then keeping track of whose research I am interested in.
So, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for keeping organized as I begin this journey. Like I said, I'm only a rising junior - so I won't be actually applying until over a year from now. But I'm sure getting organized and starting now won't hurt. (I'll be doing this next semester abroad in Madagascar, so grad school won't really be on my mind then!)
Thanks for any advice!
