While I am still in limbo of what I want to study in school. I found this book very helpful for someone who wants an MBA. There were helpful tabs with long term planning, essay writing, and even resume tips!!! The book even helps you with interviews which I think i speak for everyone when I say that interviews are no fun at all! Overall a highly reccommended book for anyone interested in MBA. The title does speak for itself when it says complete start to finish because the book does help you with everything along the way

As noted in the title this is truly a comprehensive overview of MBA admission prep. Some of the advice and samples are good general feedback for applying to a new job or communicating with others period. This focuses on the top schools in the country and at times is intimidating with the harsh reality of the challenge ahead but it backs up every area with support and knowledge of how to persevere.

This is a great resource for the professionals I work with who are thinking about returning for an MBA. I also use it with undergrads who are thinking ahead.
