 decent, but could be better September 4, 2007
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.
great guide April 23, 2007
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.
a book worth buying if you are going into psych field February 2, 2007
I bought this book because I was going to apply to grad school studying psychology. This book has lots of information on all kinds of schools which provide psych education. This book helped me understand the schools I wanted to apply to better and realize some schools' existance regarding the field of psych I wanted to go into. In general speaking, this is a great references/resouces book to have if you are considering applying to grad schools to study psychology.

I have looked at several editions of this book over the past few years and am always impressed by the amount of information it provides. This book does a great job of providing information on universities by state and by focus of study. It gives plenty of information to help potential graduate students make more informed choices. My only complaint is a small one. I would prefer if they added a way to look up specific degrees. Right now you have to look up each school to see the degrees or look it up by focus. If you wanted to earn an EdD for example, you would have to look through every school or subject listed. Not a big deal, but my only suggestion for improving this great book.
