I’ll keep this short and sweet. This book is awful. The authors are a couple of MBA message board skulkers I know from a couple of years back. Their strategies fall into two basic categories: 1) original ideas that were not thought through or have become obsolete, and 2) ideas gleaned from other MBA self-help guides, most of which are either obsolete or were never effective.
A poor effort all around. In their defense, the economy and MBA educational environment and focus is changing so fast that it’s difficult to have a plan that works for all seasons — but this one seems to have nothing to offer.
Wait til it goes deep-discount (which it surely will soon) or buy it used (cheap). Until then, you are wasting your money.

This was a gift to my daughter and I was very pleased with how quickly it arrived. She was happy with the book, noticed that it wasn’t the most current edition but it will be very useful nonetheless

This book is a good supplement to the other “How to get into the top MBA programs.” It’s a lot smaller and goes much less in depth. I found it was a nice supplement to the other book, but I would not suggest this one as your main source for application tips and strategies.
Good luck! It’s tough competition but it’s worth it!!

It’s hard to get mba books because you know you’ll only need them for a little while, and then each program is so different it’s difficult to judge what you really need. This book was great in that it offered info from particular schools to which I was applying. If I had to choose only one book, it would be this one.
