Best $15-$20 You'll Spend on Grad School December 1, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

*Based on an earlier version (2003 ed)*br /br /As many have mentioned, this series is an excellent resource that is a must buy for grad school applicants. I found the scales to be the most helpful (how research or clinical/therapy oriented each program reports to be). It is not an exhaustive listing of ALL of the information you may want, but I'd say it is a great start. The GRE scores, listing of preferred orientations, etc.br /br /If you have the previous year's ed, you are probably ok...but I'd rather just spend the $ and get the most up to date edition.

Don't apply without this book! November 16, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

This is, without question, the most helpful source of information I found for applying to PhD programs in clinical and counseling psychology. Much of the general information on applying was also helpful for Master's programs, but the most valuable part of the book is the collection of detailed information about every APA accredited clinical or counseling psych program in the U.S. and Canada.br /br /You could get a lot of the information off the university websites, and you can get the list of APA accredited programs from the APA website. So, what's so great about this book? They survey every APA accredited program to get information beyond what is available on department websites, for example, what percentage of faculty embrace each theoretical orentation? What percentage of students get a tuition waver? or a paid assistantship? What are the faculty research interests? How many faculty have each interest and how many research grants do they have? What are the average GRE scores and GPA of students in the program, and what are the minimum requirements? How long does the average student take to graduate? How many students applied to the program last year? how many received an offer? how many accepted?br /br /You get all of this information for each program (and a lot more), which allows you to target your applications in a way that you could not do otherwise (unless you have 6 months to do this research on your own). There are many programs that look great when you see the website, but then you see there are no faculty who embrace your favorite theoretical orientation, or none whose research interests you, or half the students have to pay their own tuition, etc.br /br /I guess the proof is in the outcome. I used this book and felt very prepared for my interviews. I applied to 15 programs, and I got 5 interviews and 4 offers. If you know the acceptance rates, that's pretty good.

Absolutely Wonderful Resource June 27, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I'm starting my senior year of undergrad and I've been making huge efforts to try to find a grad school program with a professor with similar research interests. Thus far, it's been very labor-intensive. However, I just bought this guide and it's incredibly helpful. Not only does it go through the process of how to apply, have a successful interview, etc, but it also breaks down schools by program. br /br /It has both PhD and PsyD programs with helpful information about: average GPA, GRE scores, the percentage of students receiving tuition assistance and/or assistantships, the areas of research interests that the faculty have, clinical opportunities, whether a personal interview is required, the number who apply vs. the number accepted, a scale which rates how research-oriented vs. clinically oriented the program is, and much more. It also has an appendix which lists colleges by research areas and clinical areas. br /br /This book is absolutely fantastic and has made my life much easier. I'd highly suggest it to anyone looking to go to grad school for their PhD or PsyD in Clinical Psychology. They also have some information on Counseling Psychology programs. Buy it and I guarantee you'll thank yourself for it later.

Good resource but same as previous edition June 7, 2006
9 out of 11 found this review helpful

Yep, I wasted $15 on this. If you haven't got a previous edition, then this is an OUTSTANDING resource for those interested in pursuing clinical psyc in grad school. If you do have a previous edition, do not buy - especially if you have the 2004-2005 edition. There is nothing substantially different as far as I can tell.
