Hi all,

I'm about to start filling out applications for the top two MBA programs in Europe - Insead and LBS. I am wondering which books I should buy as a guide to filling in applications [e.g. essay advice, recommendations advice, CV advice, etc].

I want to buy 2 books.

Do European schools assess essays different. Are essays for European schools more conservative comapared to US schools. I know from friends that H/W/S want up very beat essays, etc.

Thansk for your help

I'd suggest Paul Bodine's book.

I agree with Rhyme. I also just picked up "How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs" which seems promising.

By Richard Montauk? Yes, that is very good book IMO with material covering from the time you start thinking about MBA degree to your first class.
