About this listen
Get Accepted Quickly Into a PhD Program in the Sciences: You want to get accepted into a PhD program in the sciences and you want to get stipends and grants. As a former program manager, I can tell you how to do it in a few, easy steps by sharing the secrets only application reviewers know.
To name a few: 1. Your application is reviewed by a real person who has a voice in the selection process the moment it is submitted. The department does not wait until the application deadline, so neither should you. 2. Programs do not want official transcripts sent to them during the application process. 3. Forget about the notion that the highest GPA and the highest GRE scorers will fill all the slots. 4. If you take the GRE more than once, your highest scores from each section of each test are used. 5. The single most important factor in getting accepted? Your ability to intelligibly discuss your research. 6. Your application is a snapshot in time. It will never update, not matter what you add later. 7. One of the ways the federal government wants their money spent is on underrepresented minorities. 8. Write intelligibly and excitedly about your research focus. 9. Marginal and mediocre applicants can be recommended for offers even when they do not have the 3.0 GPA, GRE scores in the 50th percentile or even speak English well. 10. If all things are equal, the tiebreaker is the letters of recommendation from people who can attest to the quality of your research.

More than thirty million people in the United States are dyslexic—a brain-based genetic trait, often labeled as a “learning disability” or “learning difference,” that makes interpreting text and reading difficult. Yet even though children with dyslexia may have trouble reading, they don’t have any problems learning; dyslexia has nothing to do with a lack of intellect.

There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world”. Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does. You’ll learn what to say when coworkers push their work on you - then take credit for it; you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all”; you’re being micromanaged - or not being managed at all; and much more....

Why, they wondered, would he turn down a life of relative luxury to relocate to an armed compound in a breakaway region of the world's number one failed state? To achieve his mission, Starr would have to overcome profound cultural differences, broken promises, and threats to his safety and that of his staff.

It all began as an attempt by Debbie Stier to help her high-school age son, Ethan, who would shortly be studying for the SAT. Aware that Ethan was a typical teenager (i.e., completely uninterested in any test) and that a mind-boggling menu of test-prep options existed, she decided - on his behalf - to sample as many as she could to create the perfect SAT test-prep recipe.

Short and relatively sweet
If you could sum up Get Accepted Quickly Into a PhD Program in the Sciences in three words, what would they be?
This book is short and To - the - point
What was one of the most memorable moments of Get Accepted Quickly Into a PhD Program in the Sciences?
I got some good ideas from this book - it's one of the few that talk about applying to jobs in Academia
What three words best describe J.D. Huntington’s voice?
The narrators voice had a bit too much of a nasal quality to it which grates a little, but not bad overall.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
What stood out for me was - Getting to know members of the graduate school, having a stand out cv and one's ability to intelligently discuss and articulate one's research in an interview are probably the most important things
Any additional comments?
Has the author any plans on writing a book about getting ahead in academia? interview techniques and so forth..I think there is a gap in the market for an academia focused book like this.
