Good but not too helpful.......2005-01-04
This isn't really a bad book it just isn't that helpful in the long run. Requirements (GPA or GRE scores) are missing in most sections, the tuition amount is always outdated. I could see how a book like this was helpful ten years ago but right now I believe the internet is more helpful. All of this information can be found on www.petersons.com for free. Either way if you buy this book you will have to use the internet to get more updated information. Not bad to flip through in the library but not worth the money to buy it.
Book Description
Now in its 2004/2005 edition, this perennial bestseller is the resource students count on for the most current information on applying to doctoral programs in clinical or counseling psychology. The Insider's Guide presents up-to-date facts on nearly 300 accredited programs in the United States and Canada. Each program's profile includes admissions criteria, acceptance rates, research areas, specialty clinics, and more. The book also shows applicants how to determine which programs best meet their needs; obtain prerequisite credits, clinical experience, and research skills; master personal and telephone interviews; and prepare strong application materials. Special features include sample letters and personal statements, an application time line, worksheets to aid in selecting schools and making informed final decisions, and listings of over 75 websites providing help with a variety of topics-from the GREs to financial aid.
New in the 2004/2005 edition are additional data on acceptance rates and enrollment rates; the latest information on financial assistance and loans; 42 new website listings; and updated appendices on research areas and clinical opportunities. Coverage has been expanded with profiles on 21 additional programs.

Good text for your grad prep toolbelt.......2007-05-06
This is a great book that looks at the professional potentials with different types of Psychology graduates paths, how to prepare, tips for application, and is just a great addition to the other books for Psychology career seeking students. (It is also a great complement to Graduate Programs in Psychology which provides a comprehensive list of nearly all programs for Psychology in undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programs. Get the GRE prep book by Kaplan, and you have a great trifecta.)
This book has limited usefulness.......2005-11-10
This book was not at all useful to me, although it may be useful to some of you.
About a third of the book is taken up by information about different types of psychology programs such as clinical, counseling, biopsychology, and social work, and in helping you decide which of those is right for you. This is useful if you have only a general interest in psychology and want more information, but is not at all useful if you have already decided on a sub-discipline.
Another third of the book is taken up by instructions for applying to clinical and counseling programs. For instance, it suggests classes you should take and activities or clubs you should participate in. If you are already a senior, or have already gotten advising from psychology professors, this information will not be useful. They also give sample personal statements, which could be a helpful starting point if you have no idea how to write a personal statement. However, I think it would be just as effective to write you statement without the book and then ask one of your professors to read over it and give you feedback.
The last third of the book is taken up by information about specific programs. I only looked at the clinical ones, so I can't give any feedback on the info. about counseling programs. The book lists a series of research interests one might have, such as "mood disorders" and lists schools with faculty who have this research interests. I am interested in aging, especially alzheimer's disease. Using the book, I found programs that supposedly shared those intersts, but when I went to some of the school websites I could not find any listed faculty with those interests. Instead, I ended up googling my interest "aging" and "dementia" and using the advanced search function to restrict the search to domains ending in .edu. Using this method I was able to find plenty of schools to apply to. I suggest you save yourself the price of the book, and do the same.
Basically, this book can serve as either a first source of information about psychology careers, or as a poor substitute for advising from actual psychology professors.
The Best Resource for Gaining Admission to Psychology Grad Programs.......2005-07-04
I bought this book last February when I decided that I wanted to change careers and pursue a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. This book provides you with an excellent step-by-step guide on how to gain admission to your desired school - I've read a lot of these books now and this one is the best by far. It's an especially good resource for those who were not psychology undergraduates, like myself - the book tells you what classes to take to gain the knowledge necessary to transition to a psychology career,the level of research experience needed and feasible ways to obtain that experience, as well as estimations of the financial costs that you will inevitably incur during the application process. And most of this is just in Chapter 1. I will be first in line to buy the 2005/2006 edition-
Outstanding source.......2005-06-19
I highly recommend this guide to any psych undergrad wanting to be a clinical psychologist. The earlier you pick this guide up the better. It outlines everything you really need to know to set yourself up to be competitive. It is definitely worth the money!
Absolute necessity for applicants!.......2004-09-26
This book was RIGHT on about pretty much every aspect of applying to graduate programs in Clinical Psychology. My favorite aspect is that the programs each rate themselves on how research-oriented they are. Where else can you find that information?!
Great book!

This volume is not accurate. I have found cases of instructors being listed as PhD's and researchers. Also, affiliated faculty members are listed as regular faculty.
