This book, along with the TouchMBA podcast, are without a doubt the reason I got into my program starting this fall. Cannot recommend either enough!

I recommend reading this twice: once in its entirety before you begin your applications, and once more as you are in the midst of applications. Make sure you create your own game plan, it is infinitely useful!

I read the book, found it useful and decided not to pursue an MBA. The book itself was a handy, straightforward and utilitarian.

If you're applying to business school, this is the book for you. I absolutely loved and needed this. Many thanks to Jennifer Seaman at JKS Public Relations for giving me the opportunity to review this book. Review to come on my books Examiner page http://www.examiner.com/books-in-long...

A few more typos than I would prefer, but the information appears to be useful -- the proof of the pudding, as they say, will be in the eating.
