those are the three books I would recommend too (by navy01). I could not have written my essays without them.

I've just finished the GMAT yesterday and am now looking at the schools available for my score.
I got a 710, which is a good enough but not impressive score for the Top 15, I think.....

In any case, I just want to say that I've looked at some essay topics and I feel that they are really tough.... so thanks very much for the essay guide recommendations. :-D

jajajaja good review!


jallenmorris
I've been reading the 65 Harvard Essays. It's good, but it's also like reading Superman's and Wonder Woman's bio. These people are the ones that are rescuing orphans from burning buildings while knitting scarfs for the homeless.

I'm smart enough to stay away from fire and I don't knit, so it looks like HBS is out of the picture for me.

Other than most of the essay authors being superhuman, it's a great book.
