Weatherson's Advice for Prospective Graduate Students

Here. I would have placed the bit about placement records at the top. And its worth attending to the placement data for students of your potential advisers, although I recommend keeping an open mind about who one's adviser will be and what one's AOS will be for the first couple of years in graduate school. (I chose my adviser in part by comparing the work of the students of the various candidates.)

Any other suggestions?
