GMAT Applications

[mohitkhemani1985]

Hi can someone suggest and share some of the good books for application process and essays.
I heard about a Richard Montawk book " How to get into a top business school". Do any of you Gmatters have a take on this?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi

you must read the recent version of the Montauk's book, previous versions are outdated. Its not completely like reading a book on swimming to learn swimming.

I too liked "Your MBA Game Plan" but I also read many of the other books you've listed as well.

People are fan of Montauk's book but I really liked concise but holistic presentation of Banks book.
