Summary: I Got In!
Comment: Although I was a highly qualified applicant a year ago, I didn't know the real "tricks" to getting into a Ph.D. program. Therefore, I was rejected by all 10 programs to which I applied. After finding this book (thank you, thank you, thank you to the authors!) and following its instructions, I have received 3 offers and will begin attending Columbia's clinical psychology program this fall. Hooray!

Summary: Excellent resource (advice from a graduate student)
Comment: I am a graduate student in a top-notch clinical psychology Ph.D. program. I used this book extensively and found it to be very helpful. It is a "must-buy." However, readers should be aware that it CANNOT substitute for individual advice tailored to your particular interests from someone who both knows about graduate school in psychology and knows you as well. Also be aware that the individual program information, while reasonably accurate, changes very quickly. Use the guide first to identify a fairly large group of programs you're interested in. Then request information from those programs. That having been said, the book is a tremendous resource and worth more than its weight in gold.
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent comprehensive guide to APA approved psych programs
Comment: Everything you'd want to know about grad school is all in this one source. This book includes everthing you'd want to know about applying to graduate schools (overall acceptance rates, whether an advanced degree helps, what graduate schools consider to be important). However, rather than presenting the author's advice and opinions, the information is compiled from empirical research studies which adds much credibility to the information provided. Very helpful, is also the comprehensive guide of all APA approved combined, clinical and counselling psych programs. Provided are such things as scales indicating how clinically or research oriented a program is, the theoretical orientations of the faculty, what percentage of students are accepted into APA internships, the GPA and GRE cutoffs, number of applications received and number admitted, percentage of students receiving financial aid, percentage who hold advanced degrees, percentage of women and minorities, average years to completion of the program as well as research and clinical oppurtunities available. This book is very helpful in providing you with a general idea of what programs you may want to look into further, however the information doesn't always seem to be 100% accurate, therefore you may want to investigate further rather than accept all the information as factual.
