This book helped me plan out which schools I would look at to go into business. I feel that they have by far the best rankings out there, even better than U.S. News and World Report, because they dont just rank, they prioritize and explain their rankings thoroughly. My only complaint is that Businessweek consistently ranks certain schools highly and I'm not sure they deserve it. Definitely tons of relevant information and a lot of helpful pointers on not only which schools to look at, but teaching you how to prioritize what you want out of college and giving you some helpful criteria on which to base your college choice.

I just received this book and with just a cursory glance I've found 2 mistakes already. The book states that Penn and USC DO NOT accept the ACT when in fact they both do, just check their respective websites to confirm this. Other than that, it's along the lines of the Princeton Review book, a little more info on some things, less on others.

The book has so much relevant information put in a simple, easy to read format. Everything I wanted to know about business schools plus extra. The book gave me a well rounded look, not only academic. Things like activities in the near by area, girl to guy ratios, and intramural activities. The thing I liked the most was that it felt like I was talking and asking questions to students on campus. I felt the book was really telling me the way it is and not sugar coating things. Great book and well put together!
