About
Dave G. Mumby, Ph.D.
Here’s a bit of my bio: I am an Associate professor at a major University in Montreal, Canada. I am an academic advisor as well as a supervisor of … just a second while I count…3 Ph.D and 1 masters students. I have been on many selection committees in my department, and I am a regular contributer to the MyGraduateSchool.com web site, which features advice from experts on applying to graduate or professional school.
I just finished writing the second edition of my book on getting into grad school successfully. It’s called: Graduate School: Winning Strategies For Getting In. This book is full of great advice on how you can beat out the rest of the competition and get into the right grad school. The book takes you through the entire application process, step-by-step you learn how to increase your chances of getting in and at the same time avoid making mistakes that keep so many other deserving students out of grad school.
You can preview it at amazon or order it directly from the publisher – Proto Press Publications. Just send them an email at protopress@mygraduateschool.com
It is also available in some University and College bookstores across North America. If you can’t find it at your bookstore, don’t be shy to let them know! You can also download the eBook right now at MyGraduateSchool.com
I was once a student myself, applying to graduate school with a lot of the same questions that I see students have today. I studied in both Canada and in the United States and earned my Ph.D. in 1992.
Here are a few other links that describe a little bit about who I am and what I do:
