How to navigate the Graduate School application/process?

================================================================

Thanks for replying to my threads. Here is the background. This forum gave many insights for My son’s college journey.

He has reached a stage to explore Graduate Schools towards Astrophysics. His GPA 3.58+ with Physics Major, Astronomy Minor. He is going to do GRE soon. He is relying of his academic advisor.

The decision of which graduate schools to apply to can feel completely overwhelming.It’s important to remember that each application costs money and time.

Will Colleges have independent advisors to assess his assets/weakness to navigate Graduate School application process?

What are the reliable resources to help him ?

Do Graduate school offer FEE waivers ?

Are there mechanisms reduce applications cost, when applying to multiple schools?

Are there any strategies to help him ?

Thanks for guidance.
