This book is a must have for students wishing to gain admission to a Psychology Graduate School. It is packed full of information you will need to decide where to apply. If you know what area you want to apply to but don't know what schools are out there, this is your resource. If you know what state or region you wish to live it, this book will help you see what schools are available to you as well. Tons of information, average GRE scores, number of students who apply and gain admission to the program, and much more. Those free online data bases are no alternative. Out of all the money you spend on apply to graduate school, this will be the most important $20. Totally worth it.

I purchased it with its partner book "Getting in: A step by step plan for gaining admission..." I followed the directions exactly. Lets just say, it worked. I received offers of admission to 3 doctoral programs. I recommend this book to everyone I know who wants to apply to graduate school.

This is a must have for anyone considering getting a graduate degree in any field of psychology. I was at one time considering a PhD in clinical psychology. I've changed direction now, but I still don't regret buying the book. At the time, it was VERY helpful in identifying those schools that I would be interested in, and also which ones I would most likely be able to get in. Each school (even in Canada) with some sort of psychology degree is listed. You can read about which degrees are offered, if they're accredited or not (very important!), what the average GPA and GRE scores are of previous accepted applicants, the financial aid given, etc. I definitely referenced this book many times in the process. It's very helpful. I'd suggest anyone considering a grad psych degree, no matter what kind, to get this book!
