Customer Reviews

This book covers mostly everything!

This book goes into detail about all the elements of Grad school entry - it is so good that it even includes sections specific to 1.) Your racial background (Incl. special African American Applicant section) 2.) Your immigration status (International student applicants). I definitely thought it was a worthwhile purchase!

Good for giving an overview.

I am looking to start a Ph. D. program within the next year. I purchased this book in order to get a better idea of what Gradute schools are looking for in their candidates. Overall the book has been helpful.

Excellent book

I was really impressed with this Kaplan book. I purchased it because I was debating about whether or not I wanted to pursue a Ph.D. This book gives you step by step guides on how to apply (from writing essays to asking for recommendations), how to find money for school (scholarships, school funding, loans: types of, etc.), and wake-up calls on the real-life of a Ph.D. student and after graduation. There is also a section in the back on where to find scholarship money. I read this book straight through with a highlighter and pencil and it helped me get through the application process smoothly. It's well written and user friendly. I strongly recommend purchasing this book even if you're just thinking about applying to graduate school. It really makes you think about the entire process, not just the "going-to-school" part.
