This guide is written for students who are thinking about going to graduate school in the USA. It’s written mostly for science and engineering students, but it provides useful advice for all applicants.
The unique part of this book is that it starts out by describing a typical American undergraduate education experience. The premise is that you will be better able to understand your future graduate student classmates if you understand the context of their recent college experiences. Also, it will help you in evaluating your own education and preparation vis-à-vis that of American students. The second part of this book offers some general tips for navigating the graduate school admissions process. The third part of this book offers advice on things to consider when deciding which school to attend.
Please note: this guide is written by an American, native English speaker. So, it does not offer any advice regarding exams like the TOEFL or regarding VISAs.
