Review:

"Students need to realize that the Insider's Guide is much more than a shopping list of statistics about programs to be picked up just before sending off the first wave of applications. In fact, this is a resource that all students seriously considering careers in professional psychology will find valuable as soon as they declare their major. In addition to helping students decide where to apply, the book offers advice on undergraduate course selection, describes the various career options available within professional psychology, and guides the reader in writing letters of inquiry, preparing for interviews, and deciding where to go once accepted. For students who would benefit from a well-structured, concise set of guidelines and useful checklists, this book fits the bill."--Bryan D. Fantie, PhD, Psi Chi Advisor; Department of Psychology, American University

"Imagine for a moment, a growing crowd of people who are all attempting to get through doors that are passageways to the careers they desperately want. If you find yourself in this reality that students face in attempting to gain admission to graduate programs in clinical psychology, the Insider's Guide is a 'must read."--C. R. Snyder, PhD, Director of Clinical Psychology, University of Kansas
