Although grades are an important component of your application, grades alone will certainly not get you a free pass into the graduate school or program of your choice. There are many other important factors that no one tells you about, ones that can make or break an application. If you take the time to learn about and understand why you are being evaluated in a variety of ways in the first place, you can then use this to your advantage. This book will take you through, in a clear, step-by-step fashion, all of the measures that you will be evaluated upon and how you can take advantage of each one of them to come out ahead of the competition. If you follow the advice in this book and take advantage of the helpful information available at My Graduate School.com web site you will greatly improve your chances of getting into the graduate school of your choice with or without having excellent grades. http://www.mygraduateschool.com Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Good for Sophomores, but not for those who have already given graduate school some thought The target audience of the book is a sophomore or junior year audience. Thos e purchasing the book should be limited to people of that level in their studies or people who are only beginning to consider graduate school. For those who have given grad school a lot of thought: The book is a waste of time. Everything you already know is in there. The chapters have great titles but in the end they told me what I already knew. This book is in no way a complete guide to graduate school admissions. ... Read More Rating: - A Lifesaver When Applying to Graduate School This book was a wonderful tool during my Grad School application process. It was a quick read and provided a wide range of tips and Do's/Don't that aren't mentioned at all on free online sites or a majority of the other reference books to help your chance of getting into Grad School. There are quite a few college students who spent most of their free time drinking beer rather than coffee at the library. And, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but if being a social butterfly or a bad test-taker has prevented ... Read More Rating: - So much more than common sense I purchased this book and a few others on the topic and this was by far the most useful. The main reason was because it not only gave countless tips on what is important and what is not, but it was the only book that actually explained WHY certain things are important. It really changed my perception of how the process of getting into graduate school works, and this was something that the other books did not do. I think the other review that says this book is all about common sense is completely off the mark. ... Read More Rating: - Useful in many ways This book provides clear, step-by-step information that students need to know about the application process;one which is complex and at times ovewhelming. I particularly appreciated the sections of the book which explained the decision-making process and the importance of choosing a supervisor based not only on the type of research area but on personal factors as well. Although much information about potential schools, supervisors, research areas etc.. is available on the web, there is also much to consider that ... Read More Rating: - Common Sense I felt like I wasted my money purchasing this book. In general, it was mostly just common sense for anyone who is really serious about applying to graduate school - ie talk to professors, talk to grad students, research the programs you are interested in. Basically, it said that if you do not have excellent grades, you need to have other areas of strength. Obviously. I did find some parts of the book to be quite humorous. It was published in 1997 and talked about using the internet to research schools as a ...
