This guide outlines for readers how to get into the top business schools, particularly how to demonstrate what the authors see as important traits: fitting with the school and standing out from other applicants. They detail the application process, selecting schools, and four characteristics of perfect applicants: leadership, teamwork, innovation, and maturity. Detailed strategies for specific programs are given. This edition contains sample essays and resumes from successful applicants, details on 30 leading schools, and advice for international students. Bouknight and Shrum, both graduates of business schools, run an admissions coaching business and founded an admissions essay and resume evaluation service. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc.
