Client feedback: "I'm getting further into your guidebook and I'm glad I decided to hang back on UCLA (and I can't believe I submitted my NYU app before reading it). It is very well written, clear, and concise. Thank you so much for putting this out."
� M. Scott, Boston, 2003

The MBA Admission Strategy Guidebook

MBA Studio's 225-page admissions manual is a complete guide to the four parts of a winning application:

1. competitive strategy
2. profile development
3. essay management
4. writing technique


It is different to most sources in that it doesn't give you "tips". It gives you the tools and strategies to succeed with each process in your application.

Part 1 analyses the behind-the-scenes culture and practices of admissions and how to promote yourself in this context. It covers the attributes schools look for, as well as how to negotiate the other filters they use in screening applicants.

Part 2 outlines a system to identify the competitive value in your background, how to construct your value profile from this, and turn it into a compelling message.

Part 3 is about the essay questions and how to fit your profile to them: how to know what to write, which essay to write it in, and how to write it well. Ten MBA question archetypes are revealed, along with the best answer strategies for each.

Part 4 is about writing better. It provides templates for organizing specific essays,  gives solutions for improving expression and avoiding essay pitfalls, and a checklist of do's and don'ts.
