Summary: A real must
Comment: I must admit I needed a helping hand with my application. The Essays, GMAT, letters of recommendation... sometimes seems like an endless process where you never know if youre wasting your time since you have no guarantee of being accepted (especially at schools where it's getting ridiculously competitive). this book has guided me through the whole process.

First, the book gives you the confidence you need to keep faith. It outlines loads of testimonials of successul candidates (harvard, MIT, Berkeley, Columbia, kellogg...). When you read their stories, you feel that they were like you: people who had accomplished some stuff but obviously had doubts and weaknesses. Then, the game is how you present yourself and how you write succesful essays.

The key is that you should adapt your essays to the various school profiles. The authors have done an outstanding work on the top schools. There are about 50 pages per school outlining the differences between all the schools. If you want to be admitted to Stanford, you obviously don't say the same thing in your essays as if you want to be admitted to Columbia. The great thing about this book is that you get insider information. The other books I bought are just too general, stuff like "smile on the day of your interview"....this is more specific.

You read this book, and the profiles of the schools you want to apply to, and you feel that the game is easier than you thought.

Summary: demystifies the MBA Admission process
Comment: This book was invaluable to me. Let's put it this way: I wasn't sure that I had what is took to get admitted! I found the whole admissions process real competitive and being accepted to Harvard and Wharton was more like a dream than a possible reality.
A GMAT teacher recommands me to buy this book. "Quite expensive but you won't regret it". good advice since I followed most of the advice especially for the schools I was targeting. For a lot of schools (Harvard, Berkeley, Columbia, Stanford, Chicago.....), it displays anything you need to know ...and to say..to get admitted. authors analyse essays of each school...i t demystifies the questions, the traps, some good answers and loads of examples. The book is quite exhaustive: more than 600 pages but it is well organized, so it makes it pretty user-friendly.
Even if you do not feel that you can get in into the best business schools, IT IS NOT AS DIFFICULT as most people think, all you need is FAITH and a GOOD METHOD!
