The Application Process

Please suggest some good books and other resources on MBA Application essays.

Does anybody have the book titled : Business school essays thet made a difference by Nedda Gilbert From Princeton Review .Please inform.

^^ I have this book by Nedda Gilbert. I found it very useful.
I am rather good at writing essays, but I aways need an initial push - where to start the essay, and what shall I start with.
Browsing through the essays in this book gave me a good what I should write and how. I almot felt inspired after reading some of the essays. So, my personal opinion, it's a very good help!

I bought this book, but haven't read it yet because I'm focusing on my GMAT prep otherwise I won't need to write any essay haha.. but:

65 Successful Harvard Business School Application Essays

is a good one...

Acro GMAT -CAT ...I think its best for GMAT essays...
I would recommend it to everyone..

Hey guys,
I liked the "800 score AWA" guide.
Also you can check out "GMAT-CAT Answers to The Real Essay Questions ". It is available for a price of Rs. 895.
The book is divided into 3 parts:-
1)Getting Ready for GMAT Essays
2)Sample Responses to the Real Analysis-of-an-Issue Questions
3)Sample Responses to the Real Analysis-of-an-Arguement Questions

You can write ur essay response and then compare it with the sample responses.
It is very beneficial that way to point out your errors.

i also think there are a lot of websites out there that are good for b-school essays.

Hey fellows !! I was talking about MBA application essays but thanks anyway for providing your insights.

Hi Aman,

I would like to second money9111's suggestion. I have read the 65 Successful Harvard Business school essays and found it to be a gem of a book. It has many essays and will give you an idea of the quality of essays that the adcoms are starting to expect.

You might also want to try Richard Montauk's How to get into the top MBA programs. This book is considered as the Bible of B-school application as it provides a wealth of information and also many sample essays from successful applications.

Fantastic books indeed !!
