This review is from: The Best Graduate Programs: Physical & Biological Sciences, Second Edition (Paperback)

I got this book as a first step towards understanding graduate school. I briefly flipped through it, and have yet to open it again. If you are interested in a "hard" science graduate program, this book is 100% worthless. Combining biased school reviews, (a large number of top schools including Rockefeller, Scripps, Baylor,Tufts, and Einstein are wholly left out), school/location@descriptions that read more like gossip and heresay than objective observation, a paucity of program listings and desriptions (many program listings are merely the schools all encompassing website address), and straight out poor editing make this book better for starting a fire than trying to get an idea of graduate school. All the information contained in this book, plus far more, is available on the internet, and it's free.
