 - Good for getting organized, but the scholarship listings may not be that usefulIf you're looking for a book to help you organize your grad school and scholarship application process, this does a pretty good job. They help you set a calendar and filing system and cover everything A-Z, from standardized testing to recommendations to personal statements to financial aid applications and more. If you really need your hand held, you can even copy the pre-written documents in the Appendix (request for info postcards, recommendation request forms, etc.). However, in my own grad school application process, I found while some of these formalities are still recommended, it's an electronic world now. I used the advice in this book and then handled most of my applications and correspondence through email and online application systems. The bulk of this book is scholarship listings, which may or may not be helpful to you. Again, in our digital world, things change online faster than in print. That said, this book has a ton of scholarships listed in one place that would otherwise take a lot of research to compile. It's important to note that what you're paying for in these listings covers a range of disciplines, from the sciences to the arts, so if you know that you want a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies, you really don't need to sift through all the awards available for cancer research. I was a bit disappointed to find very little for my own graduate work in the arts/humanities. This is less the McKee's fault than the reality of funding. |
