 Lifesaver June 13, 2001

This book truly saved my life. The timelines, the explanations, and the advice really helped me pull together my applications--as it addresses all aspects of the application to graduate school in psychology. Without this book, I honestly would not have known how to approach professors/research supervisors re: recommendations, or how to begin my personal statement. If you would like to greatly improve your chances of getting accepted to graduate school, buying this book (and reading it thoroughly!) are one of the first steps you must take....
 Decent guide, but not the best...not even for Psych students August 20, 2004

This is one of the better books on getting into grad school, but its not the best. For the most part, it talks about things that most students will have figured out themselves by their senior year. There are a few extra tidbits, though, so I'd recommend buying it along with the book by Mumby. There are some similarities between the two books, but Mumby's book will tell you about some things that would never occur to you. In my case, the extra insights are what made the difference when I was applying to grad school (I got into a Psychology MA program). I don't advise wasting your money on most of the other books.

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.).
Really helpful and covers everything! January 1, 2006

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).
Good luck getting in!!!
 A good resource November 29, 2005

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.
