- A must have for future graduate students.
Your MBA Game Plan is an insightful book that provides you with first hand knowledge of how to gain admission to the top business schools. It allows full access to the questions that admissions counselors want to know. Also, it informs you on how to improve parts of your resume that may be lacking. The most helpful section of the book provides sample essays that have been submitted to top B-Schools such as Northwesterns' Kellogg Graduate School of Management and the Ross Business School at Michigan University. The essays have been critiqued by the MBA Game Plan authors and provide great insight on how to woo admission counselors. This book is a must have for those planning for graduate school.

Rating:

- A 'must' not just for college libraries
Written by the co-founders of a leading business school admissions service, YOUR MBA GAME PLAN is an invaluable resource for any who would go beyond the usual reference telling how to gain an MBA. It focuses on the school itself, discussing everything from acing the GMAT and getting into a top business program to selecting the right school, and this revised edition includes sample essays and resumes from successful applicants. It's a 'must' not just for college libraries but for general-interest lending collections catering to business school students.

- Helpful
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.

Rating:

- Good addition
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!!
