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:
Peterson's Graduate and
Professional Programs: An Overview, Volume 1
Buy

This 6-volume set is the only annually
updated reference work of its kind. It contains
wide-ranging information on the graduate and
professional programs offered by colleges and
universities in the North America, Europe, and Africa
that are recognized by U.S. accrediting bodies. Volumes
2 through 6 are divided into sections that contain
directories devoted to individual programs in specific
fields. Volume 1 includes institutional profiles with
the degrees offered, enrollment figures, admission
requirements, tuition, financial aid, housing, faculty,
research projects, facilities, application deadlines,
and contacts at more than 1,800 institutions. Our
clients agree this is a great reference to have during
the application process!

Guide to American Graduate Schools: Tenth Edition, Completely Revised by Harold R. Doughty
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
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.
