  ===== Preparing for the Prelim =====
  ==== Choosing Topics ====
  
- The prelim consists of three subjects; these almost always correspond to astronomy graduate courses. Most courses can be used as prelim topics, but there are several exceptions that you should know about. In case of doubt, talk to the Head Graduate Adviser (who, if also in doubt, consults the faculty as a whole). You are, in any case, required to complete a prelim application form and obtain the Head Graduate Adviser's approval of your topics.

  Restrictions include:
    * You can't take a prelim in both Radiative Processes (201) and Fluid Dynamics (202), on the grounds that not enough astronomical phenomenology is covered.
    * You can't take a prelim in Numerical Techniques (204) (ditto above)
