The only regret I have with this book is that I wish I had read it earlier. The author provides deep insights into how each applicant is evaluated. MBA admissions in the top business schools is not all about GMAT and GPA. In order to be admitted to the top 5 business schools in particular, one needs to show tremendous leadership and other WOW factors. One needs to foster good relationships with potential MBA recommenders. And don't forget the arduous preparation for GMAT. Unfortunately, one can't just build a MBA WOW factor in few months. It may take years to build extracurricular credentials and leadership experience that an MBA program would find compelling and credible (it is too late to join the Peace Corp 3 months before the application). This would be an ideal book to read for those who just finished their undergraduate program and would like to attend an MBA program in a few years. It will provide quite helpful tips on how to prepare for the grueling and challenging MBA admissions process in a top school. DO NOT think high GMAT and GPA will guarantee you admission into a top MBA program (although they will surely help). To summarize the book, one needs to build a compelling personal brand and allow other parts of the application,interview, and recommendation confirm that brand. DO NOT write boring and trite essays that will put admission officers to sleep. Make your essays interesting and compelling with a touch of humor. The book also outlines a list of things an MBA applicant should never do in the essays, interviews, and recommendations. Other suggestions from the book: 1)Valid reasons why you would want an MBA (money and intellectual challenge should not be emphasized). 2)Choosing between Fulltime, partime, executive, and accelerated MBA programs. (They are NOT the same). 3)Writing proper and effective Essays (Writing boring essays that do not foster strong personal brand is a sin). 4)Choosing and prepping the recommenders. 5)International student challenges (visa, obtaining financial aid, language barrier etc). 6)Financial Aid 7)How to handle interviews, open houses, and information sessions. Note, you WILL be evaluated in all 3, so be nice and professional to everyone. My main disappointment with the book is that the author provides deep insights into only top 8 MBA programs. Clearly, most of the suggestions are focused on the admissions to top 8 programs. The school I am targetting, which is a top 12 MBA program, was not dealt in any level of depth. |
