Customer Reviews

Overwhelming, but worth it
First, this is a great collection of essays. They are all on topic and well written. But, I have to admit to being somewhat overwhelmed by all of the material.

I am applying to eight schools, which ask some, but not all, of these questions. As a result, some of the essays were of interest to me, while others were not. By reading all of them, I got a fairly good idea of what the schools expect. I also got to size up my competition.

I recommend this book as a guide, if you have the time and energy to sift through 180 essays. In my case, it was worth it.

These essays are not well written
A severe caution before buying this collection: it is not helpful. There is no critique of any of the 180 essays contained in this volume. It is siimply a cut and paste job with the essays dropped in and many of the essays are poorly written. Further, the author's overview/analysis of the business school application process is flawed. Bottom line is that this collection is not worth the money.

Essays Galore
I bought this because I needed examples of essays for more than twenty different B-school questions. I got them in spades. This publication REALLY delivers on its promise - essay after essay after essay. Thanks!
