Prospective MBA students will find everything they need to prepare
successful admission essays in this book. Containing 50 real essays
students have written to gain admission to top business schools, this
guide details the strengths of each essay, the inspiration of the
student who wrote it, and what makes it a winner. The essays represent a
diverse group of students and include those with traditional consulting
and business backgrounds, as well as those with nontraditional
backgrounds in areas such as public service, the military, and culinary
arts. Crucial insights are included from business school admission
officers who reveal what they are looking for in applicants, and
successful applicants describe what worked for them and the mistakes
they made that future applicants should avoid. Also included are
strategies for the entire admission process, such as how to research the
type of students that each school is seeking, ace the interview, and get
powerful recommendations.
