Product Description
This publication presents 30 persuasive recommendation letters that were written on behalf of successful candidates to top-tier US business schools. The authors (including professors, employers, clients, peers and community leaders) document the candidates' achievements in an eloquent manner and explain extenuating circumstances in their academic and professional histories. The editor, an Ivy League admissions expert, explains why each letter made a difference in the committee's admissions decision. At top MBA programs, where the competition is fierce, the quality and depth of a candidate's reference letters can make the difference between acceptance and rejection. Whether you are an applicant who needs a persuasive letter of recommendation, or someone who has been asked to write one, this exceptional book is mandatory reading.

4 out of 5 stars

This is the only book on this subject and is very good. January 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

If you are like most MBA applicants, you'll probably have to prepare a draft recommendation letter for yourself. Not many supervisors/managers can find time to write detailed recos.

You need to see at least one recommendation letter to understand what does it actually mean. I couldn't find a single free sample reco letter on net that I could use and as far as books on this subject are concerned, this is the only one. So, you don't have much of a choice here.

But the good thing is in spite of being the only book about reco letters; this book is actually quite good. 30 sample letters will give you enough material to prepare detailed recos. Moreover, it's available as PDF, so you are spared the headaches of shipping and all that too.

The only reason I didn't give a 5 star to this book is because I couldn't find another book to compare it with. I'm sure the book could be improved further but even in its current version, it's of great value.
