I'm making more money than any of the MBAs that have commented here, and I never graduated from college! Spare yourself the book and the cost of an MBA, and learn Peoplesoft or SAP.
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Wish I had this when I applied Review: This book is very thorough and very in-depth. I wish I had this when I was getting into B-School. Of course, I also advise that you understand where you want to go with your career by getting your MBA. This will let you know what concentration you want, and even if MBA is right for you. I'd recommend Vault Report's Guide to Top 50 MBA Employers. It's fairly thorough, though I wish there were more companies covered. They also publish all of this info on their site (vaultreports.com). Save you some moolah. Peterson's Guide to B-Schools is pretty good for general info on B-Schools, but fairly dry.
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Nothing New Review: Don't waste you time Unless you have a minimum GPA of 3.45 from a top school, GMAT in the mid 650+, and Executive job experience. This book provides the basics assuming that you have the above. I question the experience other readers are claiming to have with this book. For starters if you're at this level of the game this book may just tickle your ego. But be prepared a huge assumption on your part is made that you are already one of the players. And trust me you would know if your one of these people.
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: If you dont know anything this book is for you! Review: This book is great if you don't have a clue. Many of the tips are not exactly what I would call the insiders guide for getting into a top MBA program. Things not to forget are Executive job experience and that record setting GMAT score. No job experience or never held a top management position you say!? Well then you had better be some kind of business prodigy that can laugh while taking the GMAT. However the book did have numerous essays and examples of accepted applicants. This book was also easy reading and can be read in less than two days. Because I felt the book was just a rehash of other material floating around I only gave it a 3.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Terribly Hush Hush Review: Thank goodness this book was not available in the UK while I was applying, since it added, I believe, significant weight to my application. If you're serious about your MBA future, buy this book and don't tell your friends !

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: This book is a MUST for anybody applying to MBA programmes Review: I can't recommend this book too highly and I am grateful that Amazon carries it, so I can recommend it to my friends here and abroad! It is comprehnsive and concise - nothing wasted! The essays (120 no less!) for the top schools in the US were particularly helpful and a great idea! This book has cleared up the mysteries of applying to American MBA programmes; I could not have found a more helpful source!
