Here the books and information sources I used.
- Richard Montauk. How to Get into the Top MBA Programs. Prentice Hall.
A very good book that takes a comprehensive approach. Helps
you get going early. I bought it three years before I actually
applied to business school.
- Phil Carpenter, Carol Carpenter. Marketing Yourself to the
Top Business Schools. John Wiley and Sons.
Another, somewhat slimer, but equally good book. I used it
as a backup to Montauk's book to confirm conclusions and get a
second perspective.
- Boykin Curry, Brian Kasbar (Eds.) Essays that Worked for
Business Schools. Fawcett Columbine.
Good examples of successful essays. Big reading fun, even though
non of my essays ended up as elaborate and out-of-the-ordinary
as the examples given by this book.
Good advice on test taking strategies. Avoid the example tests
and use the real GMAT tests from ETS.
More good advice, even though I didn't like the derogatory
attitude they have towards the GMAT.
- Business Week Business Schools. http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/index.html
Uptodate information on a variety of issues.
- Business Week Online Forums. http://forums.businessweek.com/bw-bschools/start/
