The most comprehensive advisement handbook for students who are aiming to get into graduate school has been updated and expanded in this 2nd edition of Graduate School: Winning Strategies for Getting In. Over the past two decades, Dr. Dave Mumby’s advice and guidance has helped countless students navigate the graduate-school application process. Open, honest, and direct – he puts into perspective the factors that really matter to the people who decide who gets in and who does not.

Graduate School: Winning Strategies for Getting In takes the reader through the entire application process – from deciding whether or not graduate school is a good idea, to maximizing the impact of each component of an application while avoiding the costly mistakes that most applicants make, to going beyond the basic requirements and taking essential steps that most applicants fail to take. Along the way, common misconceptions are revealed, including the two most popular myths – that one must have outstanding grades to get into graduate school, and that outstanding grades are all one needs.

Aimed at college and university students in all major fields of study, this book covers everything one needs to know about how to apply successfully to graduate school in North America.
