More than I expected March 2, 2007

This is what you can expect from American Psychological Association: the autors go straight to the point, and have an excellent writing. Thanks to theirs suggestion, you can consult different bibliography for special cases (for example, for international students). They make the reader revaluate his goals (like: "given this reality, is this what you really want for yourself?) and, of course, they help you prepare an useful detailed year-schedule.br /

Essential, easy read. November 7, 2006

I recently graduated as an undergraduate and got a job in the business world. Needless to say it is not what I had in mind. I am seriously looking to go back to school as soon as possible but I feel a bit lost and cut off, now that I have graduated and moved away from school. I just picked this book up a couple of days ago and I have already learned so much about how to prepare myself for applying to grad school. There is some very valuable information in this book that you will not likely find elsewhere. It is a great, essential read and you would be hindering yourself if you did not read it.

It worked for me... January 21, 2006

A wonderful step-by-step guide for any potential, doctoral candidate. What I found most helpful was the review of "interview questions that you will most likely be asked"/"questions you should ask." In my doctoral interviews, I WAS asked approximately 3/4 of the questions that were indicated in this section. And as the book states, going into an interview without questions of your own is the kiss of death! More important are the details/process that most of us give little attention to (e.g. how to reject an offer of acceptance graciously, timelines, etc.).

This book is a really great addition to any students collection of resources for getting into graduate school (even if it is the only one you buy). True, much of the information can be obtained from other sources (such as websites), but it is ALL there, well organized in one little book! I would recommend using multiple sources in your search for the best way to get into whatever program you are applying for, but this book should probably be included. Has great explanations of all types of issues you might confront when looking at applying to graduate school. Great advice and timelines for the undergraduate years, whether you are a freshman or a senior starting to think about graduate school (but start early if you can).br /br /Good luck getting in!!!

A good resource November 29, 2005
5 out of 8 found this review helpful

This book is indisputably a great resource. However, I felt that too much basic, basic information was included. A good deal of the book is information that an undergrad student in PSYC should already know...especially if he/she is truly to be prepared for grad-level work. Weeding out those things, there were some great insights and data.
