(Is graduate school for me? What should I study? Where sho...)
Is graduate school for me? What should I study? Where should I go? How am I going to pay for it? From academic requirements to financial realities, this all-in-one guide answers the questions, and helps prospective students make the decisions that will guide them toward their advanced degree. It covers the GRE and other relevant tests, discusses good and bad reasons for going to grad school, explains what schools look for in an applicant, offers information on fellowships, teaching assistantships, and other sources of financial assistance, and much more. With advice and commentary from admissions officers and experienced students, plus lists of useful references and addresses, The Grad School Handbook helps potential candidates master the maze--and get what they want and need out of their education.
