1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money, December 7, 2008

This review is from: Ivy League Admission: 180 Successful Business School (MBA) Essays (Digital)

This ebook is totally useless. There is no indexing for essays. There is no critique of any of the essays. Most of the essays are poorly written.

I wasted my 30$s on this book. In my view, it's not even worth 2 dollars.

PS: This is my first review on amazon. I am not into writing reviews. But this book is so horrible that I felt the urge to let the world know.. :-).

1.0 out of 5 stars These essays are not well written, October 11, 2006

A severe caution before buying this collection: it is not helpful. There is no critique of any of the 180 essays contained in this volume. It is siimply a cut and paste job with the essays dropped in and many of the essays are poorly written. Further, the author's overview/analysis of the business school application process is flawed. Bottom line is that this collection is not worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overwhelming, but worth it, October 12, 2006

First, this is a great collection of essays. They are all on topic and well written. But, I have to admit to being somewhat overwhelmed by all of the material.

I am applying to eight schools, which ask some, but not all, of these questions. As a result, some of the essays were of interest to me, while others were not. By reading all of them, I got a fairly good idea of what the schools expect. I also got to size up my competition.

I recommend this book as a guide, if you have the time and energy to sift through 180 essays. In my case, it was worth it.
