This link contains advice for making yourself competitive in graduate school and for wading through the grad school applicaiton process. Much of the information is similar to that given in the annual "graduate schoool talk" at WFU (click here for more info) -- but it is presented a bit differently and some of the details on this link are different than the details given in the talk. It's probably worth at least a quick skim.

Neuroscience Graduate Program
http://www.andp.org/training/
"Over the past 25 years, the number of neuroscience training
programs has not only grown, but they have matured and become
more sophisticated, complex and better organized. ‘Neuroscience’
has become a formal part of the lexicon of academic and completes
– quite successfully so – with the many traditional
disciplines of biology and biomedicine, such as anatomy, physiology,
cell biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, psychology and behavior,
from which this exciting new discipline draws its remarkably
diverse heritage. At the same time, the clientele most interested
in investigating neuroscience training options was growing to
include not only other neuroscientists but undergraduate and
even high school students.
The Association of Neuroscience Departments and Programs (ANDP)
is an organization of departmental chairs and program directors
from more than 250 academic institutions in North America. Since
1982, this group has assessed the nature of neuroscience training
and fostered information exchange and enhancement of education
in this discipline. The ANDP is ideally suited for the challenge
of generating a registry of neuroscience training programs in
North America. The listing is as accurate, up-to-date and inclusive
as possible; and contains appropriate and adequate information
that would be useful both to future trainees searching for a
school to attend, and professionals in the field who wish to
compare the meaningful qualities and features of other programs
and departments."

What Can I Do With My Psychology Major? (on disk)
By Kathy Sexton-Radek and Patrice Paul
Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology, Elmhurst College
The first 30 pages of this Microsoft Word document on disk
provide a detailed background of the Psychology Department at
Elmhurst College and are of little use to students not attending
that specific college. However, these first pages also give
tips on effective time management and study and test-taking
skills that may be useful to some students.
Beginning with page 30, the document goes into detail about
searching for a career in psychology. The ideas and suggestions
provided are quite helpful for someone in the early stages of
exploration on the subject.
There are four main sections:
Making decisions about your career – self assessment
Learning about different occupations
Acquiring appropriate knowledge, skills, and characteristics
Conducting a well-planned job search
The document contains a great deal of useful information,
including a timeline for each academic year with appropriate
steps toward gaining employment after graduating with a B.A.
in psychology. Another helpful section includes ways to transfer
the skills one has previously acquired into a career. The topic
of 21st century career planning is also addressed. Related topics
discussed include success in human service occupations and research
skills obtained by psychology majors. Questions such as "What
do employers look for in a psychology major when interviewing
for a job?" and "Where are psychology majors employed"
are asked. On pages 59-60, the topics of obtaining references
and creating resumes are discussed.
Beginning on page 61, the text describes graduate schools
in detail (concentrating on how to get accepted). It deals with
topics such as admissions criteria, the GRE, personal statements,
writing a good resume, letters of recommendations, and advice
on proper procedure when applying.
This is a good basic resource for those who are beginning
to examine options in psychology. The disk offers good advice
for getting started on a search for either a career or further
education, and it provides valuable information on skills produced
(and looked for by others) from obtaining a psychology degree.

The Complete Guide to Graduate School Admission: Psychology,
Counseling, and Related Professions
By Patricia Keith-Spiegel and Michael W. Wiederman
Should I go to graduate school? How do I choose where to apply?
Are my grades and accomplishments good enough to get in? Who
should I ask to write recommendation letters for me, and how
should I approach these people? How do I write my "personal
statement?" When will I hear my fate, and how should I
make my final decision? These are just a few of the many questions
to which this well-researched, thorough, and extremely user-friendly
book offers answers. Students who are contemplating graduate
training in psychology, counseling, and related fields are often
apprehensive and confused about applying to graduate school,
but this book takes the guesswork and anxiety out of the process.
The tone and features (such as the Q&A format, timeline
for application-related tasks and activities, and special advice
for special populations) that made the first edition so successful,
eliciting hundreds of thank-you notes and e-mail messages to
the author, are just as evident in this new edition. The book
has been thoroughly updated to include coverage of new topics
such as use of the internet and e-mail, as well as changing
trends in the professions. The most obvious difference is that
the book is now significantly shorter as a result of meticulous
rewriting, making it even easier to use. There have been attempts
since the publication of the first edition to copy the format
of this book, but none of the others have successfully duplicated
the depth of research-based advice and the supportive style
that make this book the guide of choice for thousands of graduate-school
bound students and their advisors.
Contents of the book include: Part I: Overview of the Pursuit
of Graduate Study. How Do I Get the Most From This Book? What
Should I Be Doing When? What About My Particular Situation?
What Are "They" Looking For? What Do I Want? Part
II: Enhancing Your Chances--For Those With Some Time. How Do
I Gain Help From Faculty? What Can I Do Academically? What About
Research and Practicum Experience? What About Professional Organizations
and Meetings? How Can I Improve My Performance on Standardized
Admittance Tests? Part III: Making Your Choices. How Do I Get
Information About Programs? Should I Stay in Town or Should
I Go? How Am I Going to Pay for Graduate School? What If My
Grades Aren't So Hot? How Do I Make Final Program Choices? Part
IV: The Application Process. What Are My First Steps in Applying?
What About Letters of Recommendation? What Should I Consider
When Filling Out Application Forms? What About Statements of
Purpose and Other Essays? I'm Ready to Send My Applications.
Now What? Part V: The Postapplication Period. Is There Anything
I Can Do Other Than Wait? What Should I Do About Interviews?
How Do I Accept (and Reject) Offers? What If I'm an Alternate
for a Program? I've Received the News. Now What?
