Editorial Review:
Applicants are provided with manageable goals and the tools to achieve them. Among the tools are a monthly timetable for completing application tasks, concrete information about career options in psychology, descriptions of graduate specialty options, and detailed worksheets for selecting the best program matches. A Resource section provides a list of publications and organizations that are helpful in the various phases of applying. Applicants are taught how to define their training goals, what to look for in a program, and why. They learn what criteria admissions committees use to evaluate applicants, how to improve their qualifications, and how to best showcase their talents in personal essays, letters of recommendations, and preselection interviews. The costs of a graduate education and financial aid information specific to graduate students are also discussed. Members of special populations, such as women, ethnic minorities, gay and lesbian applicants, and applicants with disabilities will find resources and guidance particular to their needs.

Average Rating: 
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Very helpful.
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.
Rating: - More than I expected
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.
