An essential handbook to the unwritten and often unspoken knowledge and skills you need to succeed in grad school
Some of the most important things you need to know in order to succeed in graduate school—like how to choose a good advisor, how to get funding for your work, and whether to celebrate or cry when a journal tells you to revise and resubmit an article—won’t be covered in any class. They are part of a hidden curriculum that you are just expected to know or somehow learn on your own—or else.

Provides invaluable advice about how to:
- Choose and apply to a graduate program
