I'm interested in any tools or processes that anyone would recommend in preparation for the beginning of an MBA program.
I've been accepted to my school of choice and will accept shortly, with classes to begin this Fall.
I've seen the "MBA Survival Kit" for sale on mba.com and have ordered it to get familiar with the base concepts. Are there any other similar tools, books, etc., that anyone can recommend?
How about overall strategy? What should one expect in their first couple of weeks of B-school and what's the best way to prepare?

Artis,
You should take full advantage of any "pre-season" orientation programs your school of choice offers. Make sure your Microsoft Excel skills are in top form. Also, consider
Business Week's suggested reading list.
Good luck at B-school,
