As the other reviewers have said this is the most comprehensive guide out there. The data for the most part is accurate, however I had some problems with some of the website URLs and some of the phone numbers to the depts. had changed. Also, the print font is small which makes it hard to read.
This is a must have for anyone considering getting a graduate degree in any field of psychology. I was at one time considering a PhD in clinical psychology. I've changed direction now, but I still don't regret buying the book. At the time, it was VERY helpful in identifying those schools that I would be interested in, and also which ones I would most likely be able to get in. Each school (even in Canada) with some sort of psychology degree is listed. You can read about which degrees are offered, if they're accredited or not (very important!), what the average GPA and GRE scores are of previous accepted applicants, the financial aid given, etc. I definitely referenced this book many times in the process. It's very helpful. I'd suggest anyone considering a grad psych degree, no matter what kind, to get this book!
This book is a great anthology of all psychology school in the United States. It provides details on mean/median GRE scores, GPA information, tuition cost, and more. It is a good start point to find information about schools, but it doesn't have a listing by program type (Ed.D., Psy.D., Ph.D. (clinical v counseling), or otherwise). Oneen has to look school by school to find this info.Unfortunately, it does not give research focuses in this edition, so it ends up being somewhat useless for anyone trying to find a school with a specific research interest. (Which would be Ph.D. seeking students) If clinical/counseling is your area, look instead to insider's guide to graduate programs in clinical and counseling psychology by Sayette, Mayne, and Norcross.
Let's be realistic about what this book is meant to do. First, it will not tell you anything about how to get into grad school (for example, what classes to take, if research is important for your program, etc.). Second, it will not list what researchers are present in which schools. What this book will do is be a starting point in the search for the schools you want to apply. I used to book to form a list of schools for which I wanted to do more research on. I went through the book (the states in which I wouldn't mind living) and made a list of programs that I would be interested in. The book helped me realize right away that I had no chance of getting into certain programs because of my GRE scores or that a school requires the Subject Test. It was a great starting guide and it helped me get organized in my search for schools.
I did not want to spend $20 on this manual since I tried to find it at the local library. However, now that I see what information they have compiled, I am amazed that they don't have to charge more, just to cover their costs.If you are considering a graduate degree in psychology, get this book, pay the $20...you will need this book and you will not regret the investment.
This is an extremely helpful book. Especially for those that are not sure what area of psych or in what state...it gives you most of the important info. and a link on where to get more details for almost every school.
This IS the guide to choosing programs for psychological graduate study! It had more information than I knew what to do with and it is the reason I am applying the the schools that I am. I would recommend it to anyone apply to graduate school in the field of psychology!
I just got the book in the mail today and I can see that it has very good information to use when deciding which schools one should apply to. I like having an idea of what the acceptance rates, student profile, etc. are for different programs and I like this book because you have access to the information without being creepy and emailing the PH.D students in your department of choice (which I have done).Couple of down sides though:One: This book doesn't have very much information about Master's programs. I'm not really sure whether it's because fewer universities are offering Master's degrees of Psychology in their department or whether the APA operates under the almost universal idea that every psychology grad school applicant wants a Ph.D. Some programs I'm interested in DO have Master's but yet there is no information about them in the book.Two: If you want a degree that is a little atypical, you might not find information specific to that degree. I'm interested in Consumer Psychology and this book has no information about it for the schools I looked at. I even looked at NYU- A school that most DEFINITELY had a Consumer Psychology program- and couldn't find any information.I may or may not keep this book. If I keep it, I'll use the information to get a snapshot of what my chances of acceptance are for certain programs I'm interested. The information included is very well rounded and informative- I just wish there was more for the people who haven't decided between the Master's and Ph.D.
