Your MBA Game Plan: Proven Strategies for Getting into the Top Business Schools Très utile pour la préparation des MBA applications!Je recommande fortement à tous qui veulent de l'aide pour écrire les lettres de motivation, faire le CV, préparer pour l'entretien, etc. Your MBA Game Plan: Proven Strategies for Getting into the Top Business Schools The book is based on the 2 main points to get into an MBA Program of your choice you have to demonstrate that you have a unique profile (differentiation) and that you fit the school. With pontially a 50 70% chance to get into the program of choice if you have these 2 attributes.~~~ PROS: ~~~ Fairly concise and can be read/covered pretty quickly (the fact that the book is well written helps) I like very much the suggestions for the 4 key dimensions of an applicant (Leadership, innovation, teamwork, and maturity). The book then creates a table with these as column headings and numerous parts of the application as the rows (such as transcript, work experience, resume, LOR, essays, GMAT, extracurricular activities) and allows you to tick off each element that contributes to any of the 4 Chart of GMAT 80% distribution scores for the top 20 programs and a few other stats/charts Applicant profiles the book splits up the application tips/strategy based on the applicant profiles, such asConsulting,o Creativeo Engineerso Entrepreneurshipo Governmento International (goes in depth to categorize further),o IB & Financeo Marketing, Militaryo Non profito Recent grad Typical backgrounds of students at the MBA programs and also their career backgrounds. (Consulting is 25%) Interview tips (good but not very exhaustive prep) Information about each of the top 30 programs with details on application strategy (what the school focuses on, what they are looking for, who is a good fit, and also some additional unofficial insights that Vertas saw from the years of work with applications to each of the schools) Real sample Essay Analysis (34 total essays) Sevearal in depth profile examples Sample Resumes (5)~~~ WEAKNESSES ~~~ Though laid out fine, I am having a hard time finding information I have read previously. The markers on some of the essays and sections could be identified better or have some standard icons/symbols and Table of contents should be really expanded to include subsections. Right now it is not useful. Would be great to see things not to do/disaster stories/examples of poor fit (there are several essays at the back that are not stellar and are illustrations of exactly that) but would love to see as well as common weaknesses and approaches to address/eliminate Add strategies for re applicants Would benefit the most applicants who have 9 months for the entire process~~~ BOTTOM LINE: ~~~This has become of my new favorite MBA Application BooksLet me know if any questions I reply to comments.Best Regards,BB, Founder of GMAT ClubGMAT 750 Your MBA Game Plan: Proven Strategies for Getting into the Top Business Schools I can't recommend this book highly enough: It was incredibly helpful from the beginning to end of the MBA search process. It really does help you craft a strategy, construct resumes and essays, and prepare for interviews.The best part is the small section on the individual schools: these provide a great introduction during your search and are a great starting point when beginning applications.I'm off to my first choice MBA program in a few months and I think this book is a big part of the reason why. Your MBA Game Plan: Proven Strategies for Getting into the Top Business Schools Only reached chapter 3 and already this book has helped me figure out a better plan for working on things to improve my application (not just what, but how). This book also includes valuable information for those who are just starting the process and still cannot pinpoint schools to apply to. Def a good read for those just starting out IMO.
