This book was released on 2021-02-05 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The journey to graduate school is one that requires planning, strong conviction and good support system. It is one of the decisions that, if gotten right, will set you on a path to greatness. On the other hand, if gotten wrongly, it may lead to a long time of regret and anguish. Many professionals are at a point in their lives where they are not sure whether to enroll into a graduate program or just keep accumulating years of experience with the hope that they would get promoted and have increased salary. A decision in the direction of graduate school may be one of the tools you need to unleash your potential to better earnings in your chosen career. I have written this book to help you throughout your process of application through graduate school. Based on my more than 8 years helping clients and guiding them through the path of fully-funded graduate admission, I have come up with these ten steps which will make the journey less stressful for you. I am sure of this because of many testimonials from professionals as well as recent graduates who have allowed me to guide them through the path using my trusted stepsIf you follow the steps that are provided in this book, I am sure you can increase your chances of getting graduate admission with full funding. Financial support from graduate school and industries come in form of fellowship, assistantships, scholarships etc. Another reason why I wrote this guide is so that prospective graduate school applicants can apply for and secure fully-funded graduate admission all by themselves without support from any agent. With increase in the rate at which innocent applicants are being scammed and swindled in some countries, a book like this is aimed at reducing such trend. This book is a 'do-it-yourself' kind of guide.

Book excerpt: The five United States military service academies are some of the most elite schools in the nation, taking the finest high school students and turning them into commissioned officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine. Over 60,000 students a year begin the arduous process of applying, and about 4,000 get in. At West Point alone, over 15,000 candidates start the applications process. Less than a third of them finish it. Some figure out that they aren’t going to be competitive, some get derailed with specific problems, and some get lost and drop out even though they might have gotten in. From applications to Congressional nominations, from athletics to medical qualifications, the process is unlike any other for getting into college. This book leads students and their families through the process step by step, offering the tools needed for the very best chance of success. Covering special issues and concerns like LGBTQ, women and minorities, criminal records, and more, the author also discusses whether attending a service academy is RIGHT for the prospective student, and what he or she can expect upon acceptance, admission, and attendance. Using his personal experience in helping his son through the applications process, Michael Singer Dobson provides all candidates with the ins and outs of the competition for a spot at one of these prestigious schools.
