| Publisher Description: In this exciting new book, experienced author, professor, and teacher Gregory J. Privitera--2013 Advisor of the Year at St. Bonaventure University and recipient of the SBU Award for Professional Excellence in teaching in 2014--draws on his extensive expertise to give students a step-by-step plan for success in preparing for and applying to graduate school. Broad in scope and rich in detail, Getting Into Graduate School includes insights into how graduate school selection committees decide on candidates, a concrete freshman-to-senior-year plan, and samples of application materials, resumes, and cover letters. This empowering book provides everything students in psychology and the behavioral sciences need to map their course to academic and professional success. Privitera helps students to keep their eye on a goal and a prize from day one of college, and he helps them to understand that long-term thinking can enhance all areas of life. --Ramani Durvasula, California State University, Los Angeles The single most impressive aspect...is the concrete plan outlined for how students can plan for applying to graduate school, as early as their freshman year. --Stacy Bender, Alfred University |
