Book excerpt: The journey to graduate school is one that requires planning, strong conviction and good support system. It is one of the decisions that, if gotten right, will set you on a path to greatness. On the other hand, if gotten wrongly, it may lead to a long time of regret and anguish. Many professionals are at a point in their lives where they are not sure whether to enroll into a graduate program or just keep accumulating years of experience with the hope that they would get promoted and have increased salary. A decision in the direction of graduate school may be one of the tools you need to unleash your potential to better earnings in your chosen career. I have written this book to help you throughout your process of application through graduate school. Based on my more than 8 years helping clients and guiding them through the path of fully-funded graduate admission, I have come up with these ten steps which will make the journey less stressful for you. I am sure of this because of many testimonials from professionals as well as recent graduates who have allowed me to guide them through the path using my trusted stepsIf you follow the steps that are provided in this book, I am sure you can increase your chances of getting graduate admission with full funding. Financial support from graduate school and industries come in form of fellowship, assistantships, scholarships etc. Another reason why I wrote this guide is so that prospective graduate school applicants can apply for and secure fully-funded graduate admission all by themselves without support from any agent. With increase in the rate at which innocent applicants are being scammed and swindled in some countries, a book like this is aimed at reducing such trend. This book is a 'do-it-yourself' kind of guide.
Download or read book The Complete Guide to Graduate School Admission written by Patricia Keith-Spiegel and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should I go to graduate school? How do I choose where to apply? Are my grades and accomplishments good enough to get in? Who should I ask to write recommendation letters for me, and how should I approach these people? How do I write my "personal statement?" When will I hear my fate, and how should I make my final decision? These are just a few of the many questions to which this well-researched, thorough, and extremely user-friendly book offers answers. Students who are contemplating graduate training in psychology, counseling, and related fields are often apprehensive and confused about applying to graduate school, but this book takes the guesswork and anxiety out of the process. The tone and features (such as the Q&A format, timeline for application-related tasks and activities, and special advice for special populations) that made the first edition so successful, eliciting hundreds of thank-you notes and e-mail messages to the author, are just as evident in this new edition. The book has been thoroughly updated to include coverage of new topics such as use of the internet and e-mail, as well as changing trends in the professions. The most obvious difference is that the book is now significantly shorter as a result of meticulous rewriting, making it even easier to use. There have been attempts since the publication of the first edition to copy the format of this book, but none of the others have successfully duplicated the depth of research-based advice and the supportive style that make this book the guide of choice for thousands of graduate-school bound students and their advisors.
