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.. :-).

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.

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.

I bought this because I needed examples of essays for more than twenty different B-school questions. I got them in spades. This publication REALLY delivers on its promise - essay after essay after essay. Thanks!

With twenty different essays to write for six different schools, I needed a collection that covered every possible topic and approach. This one delivered far more than I expected. I can't recommend it highly enough.
