2.0 out of 5 stars Below my expectations, August 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Princeton Review: Business School Companion (Princeton Review Series) (Paperback)

Princeton Review typically puts together good packets of information - this is not one of them. Although my cyber colleagues are chiding the raves about this booklet, it was not very insightful to me. Although the mini lessons provide a topical guide about material to be covered in business school, a bulk of the information is more like pulp fiction - what type of environment, colleagues, lifestyle, etc. to expect. I would not recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars very good insights, September 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Princeton Review: Business School Companion (Princeton Review Series) (Paperback)

I read this book during my first semester in business school. In my opinion, the book is a short but insightful look at what to expect in B-school, classwork, recruiting, and social life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great help, December 3, 1997

This was a great book. It totally prepared me for b-school. The best part were the mini lessons about the concepts you'll learn in business school. It's good preparation.
