It was especially nice on the plane last week to realize that I could pull up that paper I read last week and actually get real work done when the moment struck. Good luck with grad school, it can be a trying time, but I think you've got all the right ideas for finding a place that's a good match. Welcome back to the blog!

I actually just got into one of them! I applied to a bunch of different departments - some physics, some applied physics, some materials science, and even some electrical engineering, depending on the particular school's focus. The algorithm I used to select where to apply to was simple - I made a list of all the people I would want to work with, and then applied to the n departments/groups that contained the largest number of them (where n = # of departments I applied to).

It would be nice to know who to lit stalk (who isn't on the list already). Where have you applied for grad school? The network visualizer sounds like a good idea.

Where have you applied for grad school?
