Please place topics related to the "subject" here. Follow the format established below:

Former "stickied" threads are italicized.

Note: I highly recommend Richard Mountak's "How to get into the top MBA programs" and Paul Bodine's "Best Application Essays" books.

Also, b-school consultant webpages have good information that's free too:
