MBAs get respect. The prestige and value of the degree have grown to the point where now the quality of the degree is determinative, says the author. Graduates from top schools can earn as much as 50 to 100 percent more than those who graduate from lower-ranked schools. Montauk, president and founder of Education USA, which assists business school applicants, has thoroughly researched MBA programs for this work. Each chapter explores a step in the process, from the decision to apply to surviving once accepted. The chapters on selecting the right program, marketing yourself, and writing essays provide exceptionally valuable information and tips. For any library that serves undergraduate business school candidates, this is essential; recommended for other larger collections.
