Customer Rating: 
Summary: Pretty good
Comment: this book was good but alot of the info found in this book could be found online for free. This book comes with forms you can use to break down everything you need to do which are very useful though.
Customer Rating:
Summary: very specific
Comment: I think this book is really good for someone who has toyed with the idea of graduate school long after they've finished their undergraduate degree or while in high school. However, if you are currently in college, this book is superfluous to knowledge you should gain in senior level courses.
Customer Rating:
Summary: would buy from again
Comment: came in good time; wonderful condition; thanks a lot; would buy from this seller again
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great guide for soon to be psychologists!
Comment: This book is a comprehensive, step-by-step walk through the application process from thinking about going to grad school to accepting and declining offers (and what to do if you don't get in). It has checklists for choosing schools, one for each application you send in, and one to help in getting strong letters of recommendation. I would recommend this text to anyone applying to a graduate program in psych but would also encourage you to pick up supplemental books about writing a personal statement or whatever you'll need more than a chapter to help you.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very helpful.
Comment: While I'll agree with all the positive statements made in previous reviews, I must say that this didn't seem too different from the first edition, which I checked out from the library last year. I was expecting there to be a bigger difference. But nonetheless, a great book.

Getting In, Second Edition is an update of the American Psychological Association's essential resource for anyone considering graduate study in psychology. This handy, readable book simplifies the process for applicants and increases their chances of being accepted. Useful timelines, tips, and tools break the tasks into manageable steps and help readers define their goals, select programs, and navigate the application process. A monthly timetable and detailed worksheets for selecting the best program matches are included, and a resource section provides a list of publications and organizations that are useful in the various phases of applying. Readers will learn what criteria admissions committees use to evaluate applicants, how to improve their qualifications, and how to showcase their talents in personal essays, letters of recommendations, and preselection interviews. The costs of a graduate education and financial aid information specific to graduate students are also discussed. Members of special populations, such as women, ethnic minorities, gay and lesbian applicants, and applicants with disabilities will find resources and guidance particular to their needs. While applying to graduate school can be challenging, this book demystifies the process and allays students' concerns about how to tackle it.
