About The Book
It is important to reach for the top when choosing an MBA program. The mean compensation package a top business school graduate is likely to receive can be 120 percent greater than what a graduate from a lower-tier program will get. Due to a sluggish hiring scene and fierce competition, it is more difficult than ever to get into a top program---but not impossible.
Your MBA Game Plan will guide you through the mysterious waters of the application process and help you differentiate yourself in the ever-growing pool of business school applicants. It shows you how to establish yourself as a good fit for a particular graduate business school program and to be distinguished as a person who can offer something unique--greatly increasing your chances of getting into the MBA program of your choice.
Written by two current MBA students who successfully gained admission into multiple top business schools, this book shows you what admissions committees look for and what you can do to make yourself valuable in their eyes. You'll see how to get the upper hand using a thorough marketing action plan, essay and recommendation templates, detailed insights from successful candidates and admissions directors, as well as an analysis of every component of the application process.
Your MBA Game Plan will help you gain acceptance into a top MBA program, speak the language of business, and demonstrate that you have what it takes to succeed in business and get into the best business program.
