This concise booklet explains the graduate admissions process, including how to choose the most marketable degree, how to contact faculty, find insider information about the university, what to say and NOT say in the personal essay, how to overcome poor grades or test scores and how and where to find funding to pay for it all. A fun but informative read from a former university professor whose own graduate education brought her over $100,000 in grants and scholarships (despite a lousy GPA) (19,080 words).

  • The Resistance Book Club

    Inspired

    It took me years to finally make the decision to go to hear school...this book helped me with more insight of what to do and what to look for. I have a whole year to put together my application. Definitely will be using these tools to help me. I will definitely recommend this book to anyone undecided about pursuing further education

  • Heather

    Lack of ethics is a concern

    While I appreciate real advice, there are several suggestions in this book that border on criminal behavior. So beware!! Having said that, some of the suggestions not in that vein are quite creative and sound.

  • Jameya

    Well, I'm not dimwitted and didn't spend my undergrad years so smashed that I can't even spell "GPA", but still very good and helpful read and I'm really glad I checked it out!

  • Jovia Nierenberg

    Good general info and a quick read, but not as much detail as I would have liked.

  • Zarathustra Goertzel

    A good primer on getting into grad school with some easily overlooked, yet good, points. (Such as how and why you should get started on the social aspects BEFORE applying :o etc.)

  • Lisa

    It has some good tips but it's more for those looking at traditional Ph.D programs and not professional schools (Business, Law, etc)
