MBA Admissions Committees (AdCom) routinely reject smarter and more accomplished applicants in favor of applicants who make better arguments that they will use their MBA to achieve significant success. This book, written by a graduate of Harvard and Wharton who has spoken at both universities' business schools, and based on AKAD Group's extensive knowledge of MBA application consulting, takes you through the entire process of planning and executing a winning MBA application. And yet, it also saves you a lot of time by keeping you organized and focused. TRY IT FOR FREE: go to www.akadgroup.com/en, use the menu bar to navigate to "Services", "MBA", "MBA Method".

The output of this section is your Admission Case, a summary of your argument for why you deserve admission. * Application Preparation: This step helps you carefully plan how you will reflect the pieces of your Admission Case in different parts of your application, and then provides detailed advice on how to create a resume, write essays, select recommenders, and pass interviews.
