Best Book I've Found So Far June 21, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book was very helpful for me in understanding the graduate application process. My undergraduate institution does not have an advisor to help me, so I had to figure it out on my own. The book was very detailed and specific, and it explained the process and answered my questions a lot. The book also gave tips and advice for every stage of the application process. I feel like I wasted money on other books that only half-way explained things before finding this one. I strongly recommend buying this book if you are considering an advanced degree in psychology like me.
