 Useful Resource for Applications October 14, 2008
This book is a useful tool for anyone completing graduate school applications. Although some of the suggestions/tactics seem a bit flowery, it provides a general overview of some helpful techniques (e.g., contacting potential faculty mentors, securing letters of recommendation, etc.). Specifically, I found the large section of sample personal statements to be quite helpful. In short, I wouldn't consider this book a "must-have", but, when compared to other comparable publications, it appears to be the best of the bunch.
Had what I was looking for. July 25, 2008
This is a solid book that contained just what I was looking for. It gives good tips on how to approach the graduate application process and contact professors. Then it goes into tips for writing a statement of purpose.
Good book for a small price.

Fantastic book for foreign students wanting to study in the US May 27, 2008
I still haven't finished reading this book, but so far it has helped a great deal with most of my doubts as to what to do when applying for a master's in the US.
Great starting point May 2, 2008
I bought this book because I wasnt quite sure where to start with my essays. The year before I felt my personal essay was lacking and I didnt get into graduate school. This year with the advice the book gave as well as a jumping point to start my essay's, I was accepted to 8 out of 9 graduate schools where I applied and chose to go to the number 2 school for my field! This book is worth looking at if you dont know where to start with your essays. You need to remember that other people are looking at it which is giving them the edge up so if you arent looking at it yours will just be boring!
