"An informative and essential guide for prospective graduate students. The topics are covered thoroughly, yet clearly and concisely. I was especially impressed with the book's inclusiveness....The book would be extremely helpful for first-generation college students, who may have little knowledge about the pursuit of graduate school....This book would be a perfect supplemental text for my senior-level clinical assessment course."
