Beyond the MBA Hype: A Guide to Understanding and Surviving B-Schools: International Edition K

“This comprehensive and attractively written guide should be required reading for anyone contemplating an MBA at an international business school.”
says Dr Jochen Runde (MBA Director), University of Cambridge

Most international MBA applicants are completely at sea when it comes to approaching higher education opportunities. This is primarily because the selection process and the parameters considered by the top business schools for admitting candidates into their fold are very different from what applicants are used to in their home countries. 

Beyond the MBA Hype talks about the typical issues, challenges and dilemmas that international applicants grapple with when it comes to the best MBA programs.

Here's what the top Bschool admissions officers are saying:

“It’s not a ‘here’s how to get admitted’ story but rather ‘here are some things to make sure you’re thinking about the right things,’ which I believe is a great approach. Too often, candidates rush to an MBA thinking it will provide all of their dreams. Beyond The MBA Hype does a good job of helping them to think through the process of not just admission but the entire MBA….”

- Brad Rosenwinkel, Associate Director of Admissions
Kelley Business School (Indiana University)

“The book was engaging because the author used narratives to convey the messages. He is right that applicants neglect to consider their ‘fit‘ in a school and focus too much on metrics such as rankings.”

- Sheldon Dookeran, Assistant Director of Admissions
Rotman School of Management (University of Toronto)
