Review

“This is an excellent book. I don’t know how Robert Peters was able to assemble all this highly relevant and valuable information after only one pass through the system known as graduate school, but he has produced a definitive piece of work.” – Dr. Gene Woodruff, Dean of the Graduate School, University of Washington, Seattle, President of the Association of Graduate Schools, Chairman of the GRE Board

Product Description

Is graduate school right for you?
Should you get a master’s or a Ph.D.?
How can you choose the best possible school?

This classic guide helps students answer these vital questions and much more. It will also help graduate students finish in less time, for less money, and with less trouble.

Based on interviews with career counselors, graduate students, and professors, Getting What You Came For is packed with real-life experiences. It has all the advice a student will need not only to survive but to thrive in graduate school, including: instructions on applying to school and for financial aid; how to excel on qualifying exams; how to manage academic politics—including hostile professors; and how to write and defend a top-notch thesis. Most important, it shows you how to land a job when you graduate.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Fantastic Reference, but..., Avril 1 2004
Par Un client
As some reviewers have already noted, this book is an invaluable reference for those seriously considering the possibility of going for a graduate or doctorate degree, or for those already enrolled in a program. With that being said, this edition was revised in 1997, making it notably out of date in terms of Internet resources. It is still an excellent reference - having read it, I'm sure it will be my constant companion while going through what might otherwise be the rather nerve-wracking application process. Dr. Peters, we need a new edition! I, for one, will be one of the first in line to buy the next revision.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Getting What You Came For: The Smart Student's Guide...., Mai 13 2004
Par J. Joseph (North Carolina) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Like many of the other reviewers have already said, Getting What You Came For is an invaluable tool for grad students. As informative as it was, though, it was just like all of the other stuff you end up reading in grad school, pretty stiff and boring--not that there's anything wrong with that...I bought this book along with another grad school guide called Playing the Game: The Streetsmart Guide to Graduate School. Both books contain excellent information, but Playing the Game was really funny and easy to read, too. Between the experiences related within these books, you won't likely be blindsided by any of the typical garbage that slows people down and makes them miserable.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A graduate Student Must Have, Avril 17 2004
Par Michael Y. Lau (Mishawaka, IN United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This book is as relevant and packed full of great information and advice when I first started graduate school as it is now three years later and I'm ready to defend my thesis. I know I will pick it up quite a few more times between now and the time they crown me my doctoral degree. I'm impressed by the fact that Peters and I come from different academic backgrounds (him from biology, and me from psychology), but his book is nevertheless very relevant to my experiences. I imagine it does for students from many other fields as well.

One other "succeeding in graduate school" book I own is filled with citations to research that support the book's suggestions. There are charts and graphs, but unfortunately, one cannot survive and thrive in graduate school using only your head. Peters' book not only makes you ponder hard the reasons and ways to be successful in graduate school, it does so with a heart. The advice and information are real because there are real people behind them. Thousands have come before you, and you can be one of them too....or not. The book doesn't glorify nor idealize graduate school. It gives you an inside look at how it has worked and not worked for others. You decide what to do with this information.

Much of graduate school can be very political. Academia is occupied by smart and often very weird people, socially and otherwise. The book doesn't gloss over any of this. It guides you through people politics and the importance of self-care. It celebrates how the graduate school experience can be so right, but sometimes, unfortunately but realistically, can also go so wrong. Peters' book is a great companion through all of this. Highly recommended (despite a need for the author to come out with a new edition to replace outdated information on computers, computer softwares, and personal information managers). Probably most relevant to graduate students interested in academia.
