Book Reviews of the How To Get Into the Top MBA Programs, 4th Edition (How to Get Into the Top Mba Programs)
Customer Review: Finally! Honest help with the essays!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most authors of "how to get into B-school" books have the same old advice, but Montauk goes the extra step to illustrate how it's done with dozens upon dozens of real-world examples. Where this book shines above its competition is in how it handles the one thing applicants to top business schools can *really* do something about: Their essays.
GPA and GMAT speak for themselves and when it comes time to fill out the applications and write the essays, there are only so many ways to spin those numbers. They are cold hard numbers, and that's the point: You can't spin numbers without whining.
The single best piece of advice Montauk offers is to emphasize the strengths in your background that are not-so-obvious. After reading this book, an electrical engineer with a 99%ile score on the quantitative section of the GMAT would understand that he doesn't need to do a thing to convince the admissions committee at Columbia of his ability to handle the quantitative nature of the program. Instead, he would spend most of the essays emphasizing his experience with softer skills -- those things that are not readily noticed from a look at his education and work experience.
Many books in this class have a too-general perspective, but Montauk provides a method, especially with the essays, that helps the applicant through a thorough self-evaluation which can be translated into an intelligent, honest, and effective strategy.
This book has totally revamped my notion of what a great application should be. Look elsewhere for information on choosing the schools to which you apply, but get this book -- dare say it's essential -- to figure out how to get in!
