A good overview of what to look for in a program and how applications committees are looking at candidates. I thought the first half of the book was much more useful than the second -- which, for the most part, is about the class experience, organizational/study skills, and job recruiting. The main message of the book is that not all MBA programs are created equal; it's important to find the one that's best for your personality and career goals. The author strongly dissuades readers from enrolling in a part-time MBA program.

This is a great book to read for anyone preparing for business school. I read it before I went to an undergrad business school. For those of you going for your MBA, you should definately read this or a similar book.

Finally! A book to tell me what to expect from b-school besides the extensive loans and lots of work! It had lots of advice and I'm already starting to follow it.
