A lot of students here go into some area other that Psychology - such as
School Counseling, Social Work, Family and Marriage, Business or Public
Admin., other Business field, etc. The student and I usually start with a
web search for information.
You might want to check the Peterson Guide to Grad School - here is the web
site
http://www.petersons.com/graduate/gsector.html
Another option would be to send the student to the
Career Center. Other fields have books on getting into grad school just
like psychology does.
