Summary: Important resource for MBA essay writing
Comment: A big help sorting out ideas, outlining, and putting them them all in essay form. The author takes a concrete step-by-step approach and breaks down the process of essay writing for the non-writer types. A great resource !

Customer Rating: Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5Average rating of 2/5
Summary: Super long essays that obviously didn't meet word requirements are not good examples!
Comment: The book provides a decent set of guidelines for writing essays. However, the example essays are all extremely long. For example the second (Chinese applicant to Wharton ) essay is at least 1,500 words when the word limit is only 1,000. I'm not sure if you can actually use any of these examples because of this. Also the outlines, introduction, conclusion etc the author suggests will take up valuable space. Overall the book is useful second or third resource but definitely not a definitive source for MBA essay writing. I found the "How to Get into.." book to be much more useful for my purpose.

What was most disappointing was that even for the longest essays the author comments never addressed the length of the essay!

Summary: Excellent one
Comment: I found this book is so good for me to write an application essay, particularly, supplement essay. Take it, it will be helpful.

Summary: Essays for MBA
Comment: If you look for examples of essays, this is the right book to buy. But it is short on the explanation about how to do the essays.

Customer Rating: Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5
Summary: Good starting point
Comment: It's a good book to develop the overall structure of your essay (and make sure you hit the "key points") but the essays included are not very moving or inspirational. If you write essays like these you probably won't get into business school; take these as suggestions and weave a more compelling narrative.
