 A Must have for going into grad school October 18, 2008
W. Pang (Lincoln, NE USA)
This book is just great. If you're ever considering going into grad school, this is the book to get. It has all the information that you want to get from a particular university. It also sort the universities according to the specific branch of psychology that you're interested in. Easy to use and friendly. But of course, you've got to go to the university's websites to check for their minor yearly updates, which can't be covered by this book. This book also give you a rough idea on how high of a GRE score that you'll need to obtain to successfully apply to the university.
Massive Amounts of Information, But Not Everything You Need April 12, 2008

This book is full of helpful information on graduate programs in Psychology. Using the index in the back of the book, you can easily find a list of all schools providing a program in your field of interest. This index also differentiates by degree awarded allowing the user to find the PhD, MA, MS, EdS,PsyD, etc. that they need without searching through every program in the field. br / br /Each school in the book has information on what programs are offered, which are APA accredited, tuition, admission requirements, opportunities for teaching and research assistance-ships and tuition remission (as well as percentage of students receiving them), student demographics, housing and post graduate employment. br / br /Despite all of this useful information, there is no listing of Faculty interests/areas of study. br / br /The book is a great starting place, but to find the right school further research would need to be done through other sources, such as program websites and faculty.

This book has helped me find graduate programs in psychology. Internet searches were confusing and lacking information that I needed. Without this book I would be lost!

Graduate Study in Psychology 2008 is the 41st edition of this book. I include the book's TOC to show what it is and what it isn't. This book IS a guide to over 500 psychology programs in the US and Canada.

 Not the best (for clinical, at least) November 6, 2007

When I first applied to graduate school, I bought both this book and the Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. To my dismay, this book didn't have any information that the Insider's Guide didn't have--plus, the Insider's Guide gave me a much better picture of what the faculty were working on than this book did. For other branches of psychology, this might be worthwhile; but for clinical-bound people, I'd recommend relying on the Insider's Guide and the programs' websites. Good luck applying!
