Understanding what graduate study in your discipline involves is critical to applying successfully to a graduate program and having success once you're there. Most of the mistakes that students make when applying to graduate school stem from not understanding how or why the successful applicants are selected, or why the unsuccessful ones are rejected. Accordingly, much of this e-book is aimed at describing common graduate-program selection processes and the basic components of most graduate school applications and the roles that each of them plays in leading to the success or failure of a particular applicant.
In addition, you will find lots of advice about taking extra steps that will greatly improve the likelihood that you will be accepted into a graduate program. Most of the ideas and strategies outlined never even occur to most students, but those who do use them in developing a strategy for applying to graduate school are almost always successful.
