Some useful tips for applying to graduate school*: http://www.ericlwalters.org/gradschool.htm
- *This page was created by Eric Walters at Old Dominion University. It is geared towards ecology, wildlife and field biology graduate programs, however I find it to be relevant to graduate programs of virtually all biological disciplines.
- Over time, Dr. Walters published these tips: Walters, E.L. 2018. Eleven strategies for getting into graduate school in ecology & evolutionary biology. Ideas in Ecology and Evolution 11:78-83.
