Review :
"The Insider's Guide focuses on the complete application process with sample documents, worksheets, and timelines. Advice, warnings, and an easy-to-read format give this book an edge over resources providing program descriptions only, such as the American Psychological Association's Graduate Study in Psychology and Peterson's Graduate Programs in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. The text is supplemented with helpful statistics and the worksheets assist readers in defining the most important criteria for choosing schools." - American Reference Books Annual 2009 "Should be considered mandatory reading for [all those] considering graduate school.*****" - Doody's Review Service "Simply a godsend! I found it to be instructive, informative, and a great comfort." - Emily M. Douglas, psychology undergraduate
