Title: Essays That Will Get You into Business School by Daniel Kaufman, Dan Kaufman, Amy Burnham, Chris Dowhan ISBN: 0-7641-0613-9 Publisher: Barrons Educational Series Pub. Date: October, 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $11.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.75 (4 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Quick and to the point
Comment: While not as good as Montauk's "How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs," this book is much shorter (1/3 the size) and may be better if you're on a tight deadline. Found that the essays provided some good guidelines. Helped me get into UCLA, so it was definitely worth the read.
Rating: 1
Summary: Perhaps useful to quell anxiety, but it's not the best...
Comment: resource.
The point of writing the application essays is to emphasize your candidacy while presenting yourself as unique "fish" among the "school" of applicants. While the examples and critiques are mildly interesting, they don't do that much to help you be yourself.
A better, and more holistic analysis of positioning your entire application is presented in the Richard Montauk book, "How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs."
If you're interested purely in the essay portion, the Harry Bauld "On Writing the College Application Essay" is much better because it adds a human (and humor) element to writing. (Don't be misled by the undergraduate flair: Harry Haggard and Sarah Bleary review B-school applications, too!)
Rating: 1
Summary: Useless!
Comment: These essays are outdated, answer irrelevant questions and are entirely too long. They are good only to read and say - "I can do better than that." Besides, reading other people's essays is not as useful as a good book full of advice on which topics to cover and how to write. Save your money.
