Excellent Resource for Essays, Mar 1 2006
By Darian Diggler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MBA Admissions Strategy: From Profile Building to Essay Writing (Paperback)
I applied to Darden using another reference and online resources before I found "MBA Admissions Strategy". I was blown away by the insight that permeates each chapter, and I corrected manymistakes on my HBS app. I do not know what Gordon's background is, but he clearly knows exactly what goes on behind the scenes at adcom. He even explains what kind of people end up on the adcom and how to tailor your message to them.
So, I was waitlisted at Darden and now I have an interview at
Harvard. Wow! Can't argue with results like that. It was a lot of work but this book was my sole guide in transforming my essays. I am not an excellent writer but I am very pleased with the results. I would never try to apply to an MBA program without this book.

A Striking Strategy Nailed My Essay, Aug 16 2007
By M. Gearhart - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MBA Admissions Strategy: From Profile Building to Essay Writing (Paperback)
I had a technically perfect, reasonable and ambitious Statement of Purpose and solid work experience. However, I wanted to be sure that it was a winning essay and turned to Avi for insight about it. After reading Avi's advice, it was obvious that my long-term goal of becoming a VP or Worldwide Marketing, while ambitious, was not adventurous or striking enough to secure my admission into an MBA program.Thanks to Avi, I reset my essay (and career) strategy to something that made me nervous yet more excited and confident that my Statement of Purpose would standout when reviewed by the MBA Admissions Board. I don't want to give away my competitive strategy, but I believe Avi's book and valuable experience will enable you to prepare your own striking strategy, possibly rethink your career goals, and is a "must read" before applying to any college. I landed in the MBA program that I really wanted and trust that you will be successful as well.

Essential for anyone applying to business school!, Sep 8 2009
By Anonymous - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: MBA Admissions Strategy: From Profile Building to Essay Writing (Paperback)
I came across MBA Admissions Strategy after reading most of the other ones on the market and have since only used this one. The book is streamlined, informative, and honest. Avi is straightforward, telling you exactly what AdCom is looking for, without sugar coating anything. The method for essay writing is tough and time consuming but it is absolutely worth every second, as it forces introspection and the creation of a cogent, compelling story. The book is not long, but it does not need to be. I have not seen any other book on the market that is comparable. If you want to get into a top 10 MBA Program, buy this book!
