A university, called University of Oz, wants a database that stores data about applications to its graduate program. The application has the application status and the applicant rank- ing/evaluation by the admission committee. Note that each application is to be reviewed by three different admission committee members.

In each application, the University of Oz needs to store data about the applicant like the name, the address, the ID type (i.e., passport, DL, state ID, SSN, etc.) and the number, the education degree(s), and the work experience (if any). Each application should be supported by three (or more) recommendation letters. The applicants can also include in their application a personal statement.

For each application, there should be the transcript of the applicant with one or more education degree(s), i.e., one Bachelor or College level degree, and optional same or higher level degrees. For each degree, we know the degree type (i.e., B.Sc, B.E, etc), the GPA/QPA, the date granted/expected, the institute, and the field/major (i.e., Computer Science, Mathematics, etc).

For each recommendation letter, University of Oz needs to store the recommender, recommended (applicant), the recommendation form entries, and the free-text recommendation body.

For each recommender the system needs to store a name, an address, an email, webpage url, and a phone number. The recommender belongs to an institute, i.e., a university or a college.

For each institute, University of Oz needs to store a name, an address, a contact telephone, webpage url, and a contact email.
