I am glad to find this book and I love it so much that it is now my
bible for MBA application essay strategy. I like the idea to treat
essay package as cooking a fine meal. There is just so many
similarities between the two.

This book is incredible. I'm in the process of applying. If you've got the time to devote to doing apps 'right', this book will guide you through a surprisingly rigorous, insightful, and valuable process to decide on and write your essays. Particularly if you're of an analytical mindset, it will help you apply very helpful, intuitive frameworks to thinking about your app. Buy this book.

Reviewer: Sam Dev
Without the information, I would not have known the best way to start writing an essay for an MBA program. It gave me very valuable information. I liked the analysis of each question type and the detailed information about what schools are really looking for. I certainly recommend it.
Essential for anyone applying to business school!

I came across MBA Admissions Strategy after reading most of the other ones on the market and have since only used this one. The book is streamlined, informative, and honest. Avi is straightforward, telling you exactly what AdCom is looking for, without sugar coating anything. The method for essay writing is tough and time consuming but it is absolutely worth every second, as it forces introspection and the creation of a cogent, compelling story. The book is not long, but it does not need to be. I have not seen any other book on the market that is comparable. If you want to get into a top 10 MBA Program, buy this book!
Great Book, Great Value

Reviewer: Catina A. Taylor
This book was very informative and a quick read. This was my first attempt at getting into grad school. I've been out for over 15 years and I had no idea where to begin. The book outlines section by section what adcom is looking for and gave me some ideas as to how to minimize any weaknesses I had on my application....I have been accepted to one of the top 20 schools in the nation. I only applied to one school! So excited.
