Graduate School Admission Books

Welcome to the AdmissionsConsultants book review site, brought to you in association with Amazon.com. We use this space to summarize and review what we think are the most useful available books on test preparation and school selection. Countless books have been written on these topics. While our review is not 100% comprehensive, we have identified several outstanding publications, based on our collective experience with graduate school selection and test prep and on feedback from our clients. We hope you find these reviews useful.

We have reviewed books related to the following subjects:

Our clients agree this is a great reference to have during the application process!

grad school guide Buy this book from Amazon.com

With profiles on more than 1,250 graduate programs, this is one of the most comprehensive guides we have come across. It contains a lot of good information on each program as well as helpful lists of of scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, and internships.

Careers in Science and Engineering: A Student Planning Guide to Grad School and Beyond by National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine

graduate engineering Buy this book from Amazon.com

The three groups that authored this book are impressive and the book shows the wealth of these groups' expertise. The book is geared more towards non academic careers. While we believe current science and engineering grad students would benefit from this book, we feel prospective applicants will gain the most from it. We have never seen this book on a store shelf and, hence, Amazon.com's vast selection is one more reason we're fans of the company.
