Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Overall, this book covers all the basics to getting into a top program. Many of these books cover the same content, but the format and the writing is very straight-foward. I recommend it for people who have time constraints. A few tips:
1) Submit applications to lesser schools first - It gives you practice writing your essays. (pg 11)
2) Build your application around a theme - Create a vivid and distinct picture of yourself. You want the application to be personal enough that the AdCom could even make a nickname for you. (pg 12)
3) When writing a "Why MBA" essay, think more in terms of what you can do with an MBA, rather than what an MBA can do for you. (pg 49)
4) For resume, quantify work-related accomplishments (pg 132)
** If you have the time, I would recommend "How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs" by Richard Montauk. It only costs $ and has over 50 sample essays (170 pages worth) from thiry different people. It shows how you can meld the different essays into a three-dimensional picture of who you are professionally, academically and personally.
Good luck, and hope you get into the B school you want!
