Graduate School for Working Adults

Things You Should Know Before You Commit

By: Donna Ledbetter

Narrated by: Rhett Samuel Price

Too often unsuspecting adults decide to apply to graduate school without thinking about these questions. Whether it's graduate school for nursing, psychology, or business, you invest months selecting the right school by scouring graduate school rankings. You take hours to perfect your graduate school admissions essay and personal statement. You study for who knows how long, maybe years, to ace graduate school exams like the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, TOEFL, and GATE. You search for scholarships, grants, and loans. Yet, when it comes to thinking about how to prepare for graduate school in other ways, you're at a loss.

It doesn't have to be that way. Graduate School for Working Adults gives you the graduate school advice you need to have tough conversations and think about the things you never thought would matter as you make your decision to go back to school.

GREAT book for when considering going to college!!

I really enjoyed the tips and suggestions. I wanted help thinking through the pros and cons. Plus, I wanted help with ideas how to better prepare myself. This audio book helped in all of these areas and was very appreciated. THANKS!!

Book is not for everyone.

I couldn’t get past the comment that it’s very rare for anyone to be “the only one.” That completely diminishes the experiences of black people (referred to as African-American in the book, but not all black people are African-American) in graduate school who are often the “only ones.” Clearly this book wasn’t meant for everyone.
