I recently graduated as an undergraduate and got a job in the business world. Needless to say it is not what I had in mind. I am seriously looking to go back to school as soon as possible but I feel a bit lost and cut off, now that I have graduated and moved away from school. I just picked this book up a couple of days ago and I have already learned so much about how to prepare myself for applying to grad school. There is some very valuable information in this book that you will not likely find elsewhere. It is a great, essential read and you would be hindering yourself if you did not read it.

A wonderful step-by-step guide for any potential, doctoral candidate. What I found most helpful was the review of "interview questions that you will most likely be asked"/"questions you should ask." In my doctoral interviews, I WAS asked approximately 3/4 of the questions that were indicated in this section. And as the book states, going into an interview without questions of your own is the kiss of death! More important are the details/process that most of us give little attention to (e.g. how to reject an offer of acceptance graciously, timelines, etc.).
