MBA Admissions Strategy is a bestseller that shows MBA applicants:

• What MBA Admissions Committees value and how they work

• What to say in a b-school application, and how to say it well

• How to answer tricky essay and interview questions

It guides the reader through the four key aspects of competitive MBA admissions: navigating the admissions process; enhancing profile value; managing essay and interview communications; and writing better.

MBA Admissions Strategy is about what is hard for MBA applicants to find: the candid “what-I-wish-they’d-told-me” insights about what really works in MBA admissions. It is what to do to win in MBA admissions, and a step-by-step guide how to do it. The 3rd edition, updated throughout, contains new material on success in MBA interviews and wider admissions inputs, in addition to the traditional essays.
