Average Rating:
 Rating:  - huge book, worthwhile and seems completeThis is a huge book, worthwhile and seems complete. I also have the Your MBA Game Plan: Proven Strategies for Getting into the Top Business Schools, and this book is ten times the size. I have yet to read the whole thing and probably will never; however it is easy to find the data I need for my search.

Rating: - Great book, but nothing new from previous editionsNeedless to say, this book is now the Bible of MBA applications. What works: 1. Lots of advice, starting from the basics. 2. Tons of feedback from Admissions Committee Members 3. Essay samples What doesnt: 1. Essay samples are limited to people who were leaders, consultants, etc etc. I dont believe these form the majority, Instead, I think the majority applicants are engineers, investment bankers and people from Asia. So the examples should ... Read More |
