Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Pretty good this book was good but alot of the info found in this book could be found online for free. This book comes with forms you can use to break down everything you need to do which are very useful though. Rating: - very specific I think this book is really good for someone who has toyed with the idea of graduate school long after they've finished their undergraduate degree or while in high school. However, if you are currently in college, this book is superfluous to knowledge you should gain in senior level courses. Rating: - would buy from again came in good time; wonderful condition; thanks a lot; would buy from this seller again Rating: - Great guide for soon to be psychologists! This book is a comprehensive, step-by-step walk through the application process from thinking about going to grad school to accepting and declining offers (and what to do if you don't get in). It has checklists for choosing schools, one for each application you send in, and one to help in getting strong letters of recommendation. I would recommend this text to anyone applying to a graduate program in psych but would also encourage you to pick up supplemental books about writing a personal statement ...

While I'll agree with all the positive statements made in previous reviews, I must say that this didn't seem too different from the first edition, which I checked out from the library last year. I was expecting there to be a bigger difference. But nonetheless, a great book. see more Browse for similar items by category: Psychology - Social Sciences - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS Social Sciences - New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - Test Prep & Study Guides New & Used Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS Qualifying Textbooks - Custom Stores - Specialty Stores - Books - General AAS
