From Library Journal
MBAs get respect. The prestige and value of the degree have grown to the point where now the quality of the degree is determinative, says the author. Graduates from top schools can earn as much as 50 to 100 percent more than those who graduate from lower-ranked schools. Montauk, president and founder of Education USA, which assists business school applicants, has thoroughly researched MBA programs for this work. Each chapter explores a step in the process, from the decision to apply to surviving once accepted. The chapters on selecting the right program, marketing yourself, and writing essays provide exceptionally valuable information and tips. For any library that serves undergraduate business school candidates, this is essential; recommended for other larger collections.

Customer Reviews

Best used with other resources, but if you can only get one, this is the book!
This book contains a wealth of information and can be overwhelming if trying to read from start to finish. However, it has some incredible insight and is best used in conjunction with other materials in order to develop your strategy. That being said, if you can only purchase one resource, this is the one.

Good Starter
This book is good if you are just starting to think on your MBA application. It is less helpful if you are on a rush to get it done.
By the way I have mine almost new to sell.

Good reference.
This book gave a lot of details on how to organize your application. Very useful with great recommendations.
